Special Interests
Oral Surgery
Oral Surgery is the specialty of dentistry that includes the removal of wisdom teeth, the surgical management of impacted teeth and the biopsy and management of cysts or benign tumours of the mouth and jaws.
Oral Medicine
Oral Medicine covers the treatment of diseases affecting the lining of the mouth, which may cause mouth pain. These include infections, mouth ulcers, blisters, white or red patches, burning mouth syndrome, facial pain, oral pre-cancerous lesions and oral lichen planus. Dr. Freedman also performs oral cancer screening and diagnosis.
Implant Dentistry
Dr. Freedman performs the surgical aspects of implant dentistry in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to replace missing teeth and to support dentures or bridges. Bone grafting, sinus lifts and other implant site preparation procedures are often performed prior to implant placement. Zygomatic implants can be used when there is severe bone loss in the upper jaw and when conventional dental implants cannot be placed.
