Hi, I'm Jeremy Edwards with Oklahoma
dental implants and oral surgery.

2
00:00:04.713 --> 00:00:07.716
I'm a board certified oral
and maxillofacial surgery.

3
00:00:08.466 --> 00:00:10.635
I was born and raised
actually right here in Mustang.

4
00:00:10.635 --> 00:00:11.428
Went to school here,

5
00:00:11.428 --> 00:00:15.724
graduated high school from there,
went to Oklahoma State University

6
00:00:15.724 --> 00:00:19.185
and got my undergrad and stayed
right here in Oklahoma for dental school.

7
00:00:19.227 --> 00:00:21.229
At that point, I was kind of unsure.

8
00:00:21.229 --> 00:00:23.898
I thought, you know, dentistry was great
kind of overall.

9
00:00:23.898 --> 00:00:25.358
And then in our third
year of dental school,

10
00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:28.069
we were actually exposed
to a little bit of oral surgery,

11
00:00:28.069 --> 00:00:29.988
almost like as soon as I saw it,
I was like, wow,

12
00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:33.033
this is like a whole different world
of dentistry.

13
00:00:34.576 --> 00:00:38.204
The thing that I really love to do is
do an extraction and immediate implants.

14
00:00:38.204 --> 00:00:40.957
So I think that's
just a great service to provide.

15
00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:43.835
I think patients oftentimes
feel like they're going to have to have

16
00:00:43.835 --> 00:00:47.630
a tooth removed
and have maybe some bone grafting and wait

17
00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:52.177
3 to 4 months, have to come back again,
do an implant, wait another 3 to 4 months.

18
00:00:52.177 --> 00:00:54.345
So it just kind of a long drawn out
process that way.

19
00:00:54.345 --> 00:00:55.055
But oftentimes

20
00:00:55.055 --> 00:00:58.433
we're able to do both the extraction
and the implant at the same time.

21
00:00:58.558 --> 00:01:01.978
And they're back to functioning
and maybe 3 or 4 months as opposed to

22
00:01:02.228 --> 00:01:03.313
maybe 8 to 10 months.

23
00:01:03.313 --> 00:01:05.482
So I think that's
really nice thing to provide.

24
00:01:08.234 --> 00:01:10.111
Here at Oklahoma dental plants
and oral surgery.

25
00:01:10.111 --> 00:01:12.572
I feel like we have a really great staff
and we're all,

26
00:01:12.572 --> 00:01:13.823
I mean, almost like friends, right?

27
00:01:13.823 --> 00:01:15.867
So we're all happy to work
with each other.

28
00:01:15.867 --> 00:01:18.787
We're happy to see each other every day.
So I think that's the biggest thing.

29
00:01:18.787 --> 00:01:22.290
And then obviously being able to provide
great care for patients, that's important

30
00:01:22.332 --> 00:01:25.752
and making them feel comfortable
and being able to smile.
