“Glory to God for all things.” These were the final words of St. John Chrysostom, spoken even after a life marked by real hardship. This is something worth carrying into how we think about healing, too. Gratitude, even in the middle of recovery, changes how we experience it. Wishing our patients strength and peace in whatever healing they're walking through right now.

Recovery starts the moment you leave our office. For the first 24 hours after surgery: keep your head elevated, use ice in 20-minute intervals, stick to soft foods, and skip straws completely. Suction can dislodge the healing site. Following these steps closely is the single biggest thing you can do for a smooth recovery. Questions? We’re here! Call (423)-246-8211

A missing tooth isn't just a gap in your smile, it can affect how you chew, how your jawbone holds its shape, and even your confidence. Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth we can offer: a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone, topped with a custom crown built to last. Ready to fix your smile?

Jaw pain in the back of your mouth? Swelling that won't go down? Trouble opening wide? These are classic signs your wisdom teeth may be impacted and need an oral surgeon's evaluation-not just a wait-and-see approach. Left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to infection, crowding, and even damage to nearby teeth. Concerned about that wisdom tooth? Call the office of Dr. Y. at: (423)-246-8211

Recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. A few reminders for our patients: rest with your head elevated, ice in 20-minute intervals for the first day, stick to soft foods, and skip straws for the first few days to protect healing tissue.
