ARIA Medical Editorial Team
Reviewed by Dr. Hadi Khazaal, MD, DDS & Dr. Bilal Ibrahim, DDS
When it comes to oral and maxillofacial surgery, the difference between a good outcome and an exceptional one comes down to three things: surgical expertise, technology, and a genuine commitment to patient comfort. At ARIA Oral Surgeons, we've built our practice around all three.
Serving Taylor, Michigan and the broader Metro Detroit region — including Downriver communities, Grosse Ile, Woodhaven, Brownstown, and beyond — ARIA Oral Surgeons has established itself as a regional leader in oral and maxillofacial surgery. But what does that actually mean for you as a patient? In this article, we break down the credentials, capabilities, and care philosophy that set our practice apart.
Board-Certified Expertise You Can Trust
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the most demanding specialties in dentistry and medicine. It requires years of rigorous hospital-based surgical training beyond dental school, including anesthesia administration, complex facial trauma management, and reconstructive techniques. Our surgeons at ARIA have completed this advanced training and hold the credentials that matter most to patients seeking safe, expert care.
Dr. Hadi Khazaal, MD, DDS holds both medical and dental degrees — a dual qualification that provides a uniquely comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy, systemic health, and surgical outcomes. Dr. Bilal Ibrahim, DDS brings specialized expertise in dental implant surgery, wisdom teeth removal, and regenerative procedures. Together, they form a surgical team equipped to handle everything from routine extractions to complex reconstructive cases.
Dual MD/DDS credentials mean your surgeon understands not just your teeth and jaws, but your entire medical picture — from cardiovascular health to medication interactions to post-surgical healing.
A Full Spectrum of Oral Surgery Services
One of the key reasons patients across Metro Detroit choose ARIA is the breadth of services available under one roof. Rather than referring you to multiple specialists across the region, we provide comprehensive surgical care in a single, coordinated setting. Our core service areas include:
- Dental implant surgery — including single tooth, multiple teeth, and full-arch implant restoration with guided 3D precision
- Wisdom teeth removal — for teens, young adults, and impacted cases requiring surgical extraction
- Tooth extractions — from routine to surgical and emergency extractions
- Bone grafting and regenerative care — including sinus lifts and socket preservation to rebuild jawbone for future implants
- Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) — to address skeletal discrepancies affecting bite, breathing, and facial balance
- TMJ and TMD evaluation and treatment — for chronic jaw pain, clicking, and dysfunction
- Facial trauma care — including fracture repair and soft tissue reconstruction
- Oral pathology — evaluation, biopsy, and management of lesions, cysts, and abnormalities
- Sleep apnea surgical solutions — for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy
- Facial cosmetic consultation — for procedures enhancing facial harmony and aesthetics
This comprehensive approach means that whether you're a referring dentist coordinating complex care or a patient navigating a multi-step treatment plan, your surgical journey stays coordinated, efficient, and transparent.
Advanced Technology for Precision Outcomes
Modern oral surgery is as much about technology as it is about technique. At ARIA, we invest in the diagnostic and surgical tools that directly improve your outcomes. Three-dimensional cone beam CT imaging allows us to visualize your anatomy with sub-millimeter accuracy before any incision is made. For dental implant cases, this means guided surgery planning that maps the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant — minimizing risk to nerves and sinuses while maximizing long-term stability.
Our commitment to technology extends to patient comfort. We offer a full spectrum of sedation options, from local anesthesia to IV sedation, administered by surgeons trained in hospital-based anesthesia protocols. This means even the most anxious patients can experience calm, comfortable surgical care.
"Precision and compassion are not in tension. In fact, they are the two pillars of every successful surgical outcome."
Serving Metro Detroit & Downriver Communities
Convenience matters when you're coordinating surgical care. Our practice is located at 25185 Goddard Rd, Taylor, MI — strategically positioned to serve patients throughout Downriver and the greater Metro Detroit area. We regularly welcome patients from Grosse Ile, Woodhaven, Brownstown, Taylor, Southgate, Wyandotte, Riverview, Flat Rock, Monroe, and communities across Wayne County.
We also understand that oral surgery needs don't always happen during business hours. That's why we maintain protocols for dental emergencies, including emergency tooth extractions and facial trauma evaluation, ensuring patients have access to expert surgical care when they need it most.
A Patient Experience Built on Clarity and Calm
Surgical expertise alone isn't enough. The experience surrounding your surgery — from the first phone call to your final follow-up — shapes how you feel about your care. At ARIA, we've designed every touchpoint around clarity, transparency, and comfort.

We invite you to read patient reviews and hear directly from those who've entrusted their care to ARIA Oral Surgeons.
