Dr. Douglas Edwards, DMD Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in Dublin, OH

Dr. Edwards always thought he would follow in his father’s footsteps and become an orthodontist. But during dental school, he decided to follow his own path and pursue oral and maxillofacial surgery.

‍

He attended dental school at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, completed an internship in oral surgery at Louisiana State University Shreveport, and then continued on to complete his residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. 

‍

After residency, he trained further by completing a fellowship in Cranial Maxillofacial Surgery, where he treated complex cases including cancer and cleft lip patients. Now, with over a decade of experience, Dr. Edwards brings his expertise to Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Dublin, OH.

‍

Why Nuvia:

The ability to make a dramatic impact for patients within just 24 hours is what drew Dr. Edwards to Nuvia. Compared to the traditional approach to dental implants, delivering permanent teeth in 24 hours completely transforms the patient experience — and that's a process he’s excited to be part of.

Outside of the Clinic

Dr. Edwards loves spending time outdoors, diving, cooking, and gardening.

‍

‍

Why Nuvia?

The ability to deliver a life-changing transformation to patients in just 24 hours is what drew Dr. Kakkar to Nuvia’s Dublin, OH team. 

‍

Over Dr. Kakkar’s years of experience he has seen the difference a beautiful smile can make in someone’s life. Through Nuvia’s advanced technology and techniques, he is thrilled to be able to give patients a unique experience where they get their set of permanent teeth 24 hours after the dental implant procedure.

‍

Traditional methods of getting dental implants typically include frequent visits and what may be up to 10+ months of waiting for permanent teeth. Not at Nuvia.

Dr. Murphy has been working as a restorative dentist for 40 years and loves what he does. It’s important to him to be constantly learning new techniques and skills so he can continually improve the patient’s experience..

‍

Dr. Murphy grew up in a small Canadian town next door to a dentist. This is where he first developed his interest in dentistry. He received his education in Halifax, Nova Scotia for his undergrad and dental degree. After moving around Canada for a couple of decades, he moved to the US and has lived there ever since.

‍

With years of restorative dentistry under his belt, Dr Murphy saw many patients undergo the traditional process of getting dental implants that could take up to 10+ months to complete. When he heard that Nuvia could provide permanent teeth in 24 hours to dental implant patients, he knew he had to be a part of it. He is excited to be part of the Nuvia Dental Implant Center team in Dublin, OH.
