April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month — and early detection can save lives.

A visual oral cancer exam should be part of every adult's routine dental care and is typically performed during regular dental visits. Self-exams at home can also help you spot changes early.

Annual screenings are especially important if you:
• Use to***co or v**e
• Drink alcohol frequently
• Have HPV
• Have a family history of oral cancer
• Are age 40+

The good news? A screening takes just minutes but can make a lifetime of difference.

Oral cancer screenings are quick, painless, and an important part of maintaining your oral health.

During your screening, we will visually examine the mouth and throat, feel the jaw and neck, and recommend further testing if needed. Most screenings take just 10 minutes and can help catch potential concerns early.

Knowing the signs and staying on top of regular exams can make a big difference for your health and peace of mind.

Happy 60th Birthday, Jame! 🎉

41 years with South Central Oral Surgery… and she still hasn’t had enough of us! 😉

Jame may have officially retired in 2024, but thankfully she didn’t go too far—we still get to see her smiling face when someone needs a day off (and let’s be honest, we’re always a little extra excited when it’s a “Jame day”).

Her clinical knowledge is unmatched, her bubbly personality keeps us all laughing, and she’s always the first to jump in and help a coworker. And when it comes to our patients, Jame has a special way of calming nerves and making everyone feel comfortable.

We’re so lucky she’s still part of our team—even if it’s just part-time now! Help us wish Jame a very happy 60th birthday! 💙

Not all oral cancer symptoms are obvious, so knowing what to look for can make a life-saving difference.

Common early signs may include persistent mouth sores, red or white patches, lumps, or difficulty swallowing. If something doesn’t feel right and lasts more than two weeks, it’s important to get it checked.

In recognition of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we are offering free oral cancer screenings to help support early detection and peace of mind.

📅 Date & Time: April 15 from 8:00 am - 11:00 am

Q: How do dental implants work?

A: Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a tooth to restore function and confidence. The process includes:

1. Placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root
2. Attaching an abutment, which connects the implant to the crown
3. Securing a custom dental crown to complete the restoration

The result? A natural-looking, fully functional smile you can rely on.

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall oral health. Dental implants restore your smile by replacing the entire tooth structure, from root to crown, delivering results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Ready to love your smile again? Schedule a consultation today to create your personalized dental implant treatment plan.
