  • Can I go to work the next day after wisdom tooth extraction?

    It would depend upon several factors. First, how many teeth you are having removed. The more teeth being removed, the more likely you are to need an extended recovery period. Second, what is required of the surgeon to remove the teeth. Typically, if bone has to be removed, it will generally cause the patient more post-operative pain and swelling. Generally, more effort is required to remove lower teeth. The lower jaw is generally very hard. Third, how vain you are. Many times, the patient will have significant swelling but very little to no pain following surgery. You may feel uncomfortable with your appearance and therefore require time to heal. I recommend you speak with your surgeon prior to treatment. He/she can give you a much better idea of what to expect post-operatively. READ MORE

  • How long is the hospital stay after jaw surgery?

    Sir, your question is very vague and lacks essential details. You failed to mention what type of "jaw surgery" you will be undergoing. Assuming you are referring to some type of orthognathic surgery, 24-48 hours is pretty standard. That is assuming that there are no complications associated with the surgery or anesthesia. I have seen cases were the patient was admitted in the early a.m. and was discharged on the same day. It depends entirely upon the nature of the surgery you are having, how you respond to the surgery and if any complications are encountered with the surgery and/or anesthesia. In addition, you must take in to account how comfortable your surgeon feels about your progress and what his/her experiences have been. In my opinion, this is a question that you should direct toward your surgeon for a much more definitive answer. In addition, you should consider being a bit more descriptive of the procedure you are undergoing. "Jaw surgery" is a very broad description which may encompass many different types of surgery with different intraoperative and postoperative expectations and outcomes. READ MORE

  • Can missing teeth cause jaw problems?

    Yes, missing teeth can cause a variety of problems. Over closing causing strain on one or both sides of the TMJ and thinning or loss of bone in the area or areas where teeth are missing can occur. This can lead to fracture of the jaw and make it extremely difficult to replace missing teeth. It can and most often does lead to unwanted facial changes and digestive problems if left untreated by a dentist. READ MORE

Get to know Dentist Dr. Craig S. Morris, who serves the population of Nevada.

Dr. Morris is a dentist currently practicing with his private practice in Nevada. He has graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree. 

To earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, students generally need a four-year undergraduate education. Afterward, they go to dental school for another four years of educational, clinical and dental laboratory training. After graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, dentists have to pass rigorous examinations. In the United States, dentists must pass the National Board Dental Examinations, which is a national written exam. They also have to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice there. With such extensive education and examination requirements, patients can rest assured that any dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree is well qualified.

General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include: preventive services, including helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services, such as receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services, including performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.
