Dr. Beale began life in Chicago, Illinois, but he decided to pursue his undergraduate studies at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. After graduating, he decided to follow his dreams of becoming a dentist by attending the Medical College of Virginia dental school, where he earned his DDS degree and graduated with honors.
After gaining much practical experience, he then practiced general dentistry in Tidewater for three years. However, this field wasnt quite the one for him, so he went back to the books to work toward becoming an oral surgeon.
Dr. Beale was selected for an internship and residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, after which, he became board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons as well as the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology. In fact, hes been practicing as an oral surgeon in the Virginia Beach and Chesapeake areas since 1989.
In his spare time, Dr. Beale loves spending time with his family. Hes been married to his wife since 1982, and they have two children, Jack and Danielle. His other hobbies include boating, water skiing, and golfing.
While Dr. Yeh is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he headed to the University of Pittsburgh for his undergraduate studies, where he majored in Exercise Science. He decided to stay in Pittsburgh to complete his dental training, and it was while he was a student at dental school that he discovered his true passion for all things related to oral and maxillofacial surgery. This motivation allowed him to study under some of the most renowned oral surgeons in the field.
To further his knowledge, he then completed a residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Nova Southeastern University and Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During his tenure here, he was able to perform a wide array of oral surgical procedures, including patients suffering from complications from neck and head cancer. He performed so well during his residency that he was eventually named Chief Resident and was selected to give a lecture at the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons national meeting in San Diego.
Today, while Dr. Yeh performs the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, he prefers to specialize in corrective jaw surgery, wisdom teeth and dental implants. Hes currently a member of the following organizations:
Of course, Dr. Yeh doesnt spend all his time in the office. When hes not treating Virginia Beach and Chesapeake area patients, he enjoys spending time with his family, participating in outdoor activities, and supporting the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers.
When a tooth is lost, there are several ways to restore the functionality of the mouth. Virginia Beach and Chesapeake area patients can choose crowns, bridges, or dentures, all of which allows them to smile and bite. However, dental implants are the most realistic, long-lasting, and durable tooth replacement solution. These are small, titanium screws that are inside of the jawbone and act as a new tooth root, providing a solid base for a prosthetic tooth.
Doctors Beale, Yeh, and Quigg at Coastal Virginia Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are seasoned specialists at providing patients with dental implants. Theyll perform a full examination to determine whether or not dental implants would work best, and if so, create a personalized plan of care that outlines the next step in treatment.
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically implanted into the jaw. Once they are in the jaw, the bone begins to grow around them, securing them in place. After a few months of healing time, theyll be stable enough to have an abutment attached, which is a small metal post that sticks down through the gums. Once the abutment is in position, a crown can be attached.
While the crown may wear down over time and need replacing, the dental implants will last forever. All Virginia Beach and Chesapeake patients will need to do is return to have a new crown put on the abutment, and theyll be good to go.
Next, theyll take X-rays to look at the jawbone to see if theres enough bone density to support an implant. If the jaw isnt dense enough, our doctors may recommend bone grafting to supplement bone tissue and create a sturdier base for the implants.
Recovery after this initial procedure is minimal, as the gums should heal quickly. That being said, it will take a few months for the implant to become secured in the bone. Our doctors will advise the patient when to return, and if all looks well, theyll open up the gums one more time to place the abutment. After this, the replacement crown or bridge can be attached without any more invasive procedures.
