Opioid Free Pain Management Treatment
At the Lehigh Valley Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we go to great lengths to ensure you recover comfortably from your procedure. That’s why we’re happy to provide EXPAREL at our practice — an innovative new option for pain management that reduces the need for narcotics.
EXPAREL is a non-narcotic numbing medication that’s injected directly into your surgical site during the procedure. It slowly releases a local anesthetic called bupivacaine throughout your body, with the effects lasting up to four days. As a result, EXPAREL treats your pain symptoms well after you leave our office.
Since the first few days after treatment are when the most pain occurs, many patients who receive EXPAREL use fewer narcotic pain medications. Some patients are even able to avoid these medications entirely.
Reducing the use of opioids and other narcotics is beneficial in several ways. First of all, narcotic drugs can cause a range of negative side effects including nausea, drowsiness, and more. Furthermore, narcotics can be highly addictive and lead to patients forming unhealthy habits.
Visit Dr. Chaudhry for EXPAREL Treatment
EXPAREL is an exciting new treatment option that still isn’t available at most practices. Dr. Chaudhry is proud to feature EXPAREL at our practice and will be happy to discuss the benefits with you further.
We can use this narcotic-free pain medicine during a variety of surgical procedures, including bone grafts, tooth extractions, and dental implant placement. Contact our practice at (484)-821-1357 to learn more about EXPAREL and how it can improve your treatment experience.

Had a lower rt wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Chaudhry. I was reluctant to have it done since I put it off so many years and xrays showed the roots were so close to my facial nerve, but after Dr. Chaudhry worked his magic, there was no trauma to the nerve, and all went well. I highly recommend him !read more

I was referred by another doctor for my son who is 10 and he couldn’t go to a pediatrician dentist as my original dentist office suggested my original dentist was away and I saw his partner who was busy dealing with many clients and I didn’t feel he really was giving me 100%. They told me my son would have to see a pediatrician dentist and tried a few doctor's and was told I can not see a pediatrician dentist I need a normal dentist and clearly wasn’t getting help from original dentist because they where busy and figured to come here and was told the night before it should be one price and was told they would sedate him and the same thing the next morning and took my payment they then medicated my son and then told me it wasn’t covered by insurance and they should have told me before hand which I thought should have been told to me. I let them know that I will pay and they could have been straight about pricing which I was upset about as well as everything in general.I paid it and would have paid it if they told me first off. I also was told that my son is an emergency visit and felt the tone it was said to me that he was also inconvenient to themread more

I highly recommend Dr.Chaudhry and his team. I have had several extractions by Dr.Chaudhry in both his Bethlehem office and his Stroudsburg office. I found both offices to be clean and his equipment to be modern. I also found the staff in both offices to be very kind and caring, helping to put me at ease. Very professional indeed. I came to Dr.Chaudhry on the recommendation of my primary dentist. My first treatment was to be extensive. Several extractions and extensive areas of badly infected bone had to be cleaned out and the infection treated. Dr.Chaudhry took his time to show me the problem areas, explain what he would do, and we talked about how I could replace the missing teeth once everything was healed. It was a good appointment for me as Dr.Chaudhry had not been my first oral surgery consultant for this work. I am so very grateful my primary dentist referred me to Dr.Chaudhry. Once the work was done, I felt fine. If I didn’t have stitches in my mouth, I would not believe anything was done. I really didn’t have any discomfort with that work. As a former registered nurse, I knew this was the mark of a good surgeon. I was so happy with the work I made sure to show my primary dentist when I saw him a few days later! He agreed with me. Dr. Chaudhry also did some other work on my mouth, and again, his time, kindness and caring attitude were much appreciated. This is the same tone you will find reflected in his staff. It is easy to see that Dr.Chaudhry is dedicated to what he does, is extremely knowledgeable and does what is best for the patient. I just can’t say enough about the man. Besides being an oral surgeon with stellar credentials, Dr.Chaudhry is also a medical doctor. We are so lucky to have an oral surgeon of his caliber and experience here in the Lehigh Valley and Pocono area. My husband will need some work in the very near future, we already know who his oral surgeon will be, Dr. Chaudhry!read more

My 5 year old daughter came in the office terrified of having her tooth pulled. The staff immediately made her feel comfortable and put a smile on her face. Everyone made what could have been a traumatic experience for her, very tolerable for her 5 year old little mind...and mom’s, too! I truly appreciated their kindness and understanding.read more

A few weeks ago I had the tissue grafting done and opted to have novocain. After the novocain wore off I expected a lot of pain but I was surprised I had absolutely no pain. Thank you Dr. Chaudhry and your staff.read more

Due to phobias, I hadn't been to a Dentist for 18 years. My gum/tooth infections started coming every month & finally, after 1 Urgent Care visit per month for 3 consecutive months, I decided it was time to do something about it. I went to Dr. Chaudhry & found him & his entire staff to be genuinely nice people, good listeners, & willing to take the time to understand my "issues". I wanted IV sedation, which allowed me to complete the 10 extractions with no pain or awareness during the procedure, & only very minor discomfort afterwards. He did a great job & I'm happy that I chose him as my Oral Surgeon, & I'll be going back to discuss dentures/implants.read more

Outstanding! I’m pleased with the excellent care and expertise. Dr. Chaudhry and staff are the best of the best! Besides the professionalism and medical knowledge, all are welcoming, cheerful, informative, and truly concerned for the well being of the patient. I wouldn’t hesitate using their services again, if I ever need another dental implant.read more

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted here and the overall experience was great! The procedure was fast and my surgeon, Robert, made me feel comfortable and answered any and all questions I had. They also followed up by calling me twice after surgery (day after and a week later) to check on how I was dealing with the recovery process and if there were any issues. Would highly recommend to anyone!read more

I get nervous at the dentist. However I didn't get nervous at all while I was there. I was in and out within 45 minutes. Very courteous staff they even called me later that day to see how I was feeling and 2 days later to see how I was feeling. All-around great experience.read more

I had an appointment (which was very easy to schedule) to have a tooth pulled. Upon arrival to my appointment, I waited about 10-15 minutes in the waiting area. Once called back, everything was quick and painless. Everyone was friendly. That evening I received a follow up call from the doctor to see how I was feeling. About a week later, I received another follow up call. I would definitely recommend this location.read more

I was seen by Dr. Chaudhry for my wisdom teeth extraction and I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing the same procedure. From the initial consult, to the actual extraction, the experience was unmatched by any other office I’ve been to. The oral surgeon and the support staff were all sincerely friendly and very knowledgeable. You can tell they all put in the time and effort to make their patients a priority and the overall experience a positive one. 10/10 would recommend.read more

This office came highly recommended by my dentist to get a wisdom tooth removed. My experience was great, from start to finish. Easy check-in, clearly explained my out of pocket costs, and I received my sedation thoroughly and painlessly. They made the process so quick that I didn’t even have the chance to develop fear of what was to come. Staff/nursing/doctor are incredibly kind and personable. I would highly recommend!read more
