Hehr Oral Surgery

Please welcome Dr. Sharon Lui, DMD to Hehr Oral Surgery! 👏

Today marks Dr. Lui's first day with our team. She'll be seeing patients across our North Charleston and St. George offices, bringing determination, curiosity, and compassion to every patient she cares for.

Born in Ottawa and raised in Plano, Texas, Dr. Lui earned her DMD from LECOM School of Dental Medicine and completed her Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Indiana University after an internship at Texas A&M College of Dentistry. As the first person in her family to enter healthcare, she takes real pride in the journey that led her to oral surgery.

When she's not in the office, you'll find her playing pickleball, hiking, or exploring new cafés and restaurants with friends.

We're so glad to have you, Dr. Lui!

Can oral surgery be done before braces? Yes. It is often the first step.

Extractions for crowding, impacted canine exposure, wisdom teeth removal, and corrective jaw surgery all support orthodontic treatment. Your oral surgeon and orthodontist time each step together. Swipe for the four most common reasons.

Early evaluations, often in the teen years, keep braces on schedule instead of delaying them. Call (843) 767-3310 or book online at hehroralsurgery.com.

Tooth replacement is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Step 1. Your surgeon removes the damaged tooth and places a titanium implant into the jawbone.

Step 2. The implant heals for about 6 weeks while your jawbone fuses to it, creating a permanent foundation.

Step 3. A custom abutment and crown complete your restoration, looking and functioning like a natural tooth.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Reach out to our team at Hehr Oral Surgery to see if implants are right for you. Call (843) 767-3310.

Do you need to go to the ER if you knocked your tooth out?

If you can still breathe, swallow, and stop the bleeding, you probably don't need the ER. You need an oral surgeon.

The ER handles medical emergencies. Oral surgeons handle facial trauma, dental infections, jaw injuries, and wisdom tooth emergencies directly. Skipping straight to us often means fewer referrals and faster treatment.

Not sure? Call Hehr Oral Surgery first. That one phone call is usually the biggest time-saver. Reach us at (843) 767-3310.

So your wisdom teeth are out. Now what?

The first 24 hours are the most important. Rest, ice the outside of your jaw, and stick to soft, cool foods (think yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, smoothies without seeds or a straw). Skip anything crunchy, spicy, or hot for a few days.

Follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions. That is how you avoid dry socket and get back to normal faster.

Questions during recovery? Your team at Hehr Oral Surgery is here. Call (843) 767-3310.

Today we honor Juneteenth.

On June 19, 1865, news of freedom finally reached the last enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It's a day that holds both grief and joy. A reminder of how long freedom can take to arrive, and how deeply it is valued.

From all of us at Hehr Oral Surgery, we honor the resilience of those who came before, and the community we are proud to serve today.
