Dr. Matthew S. Hamedani — Cameo Dental Specialists

Cameo-HM_1_web

For Dr. Matthew S. Hamedani, oral and maxillofacial surgery offers the opportunity to relieve pain, repair injuries, and restore a patient’s quality of life.

“I could be removing someone’s wisdom teeth today and repairing a mandible fracture tomorrow,” Hamedani says. That variety keeps the work meaningful. The specialty combines dentistry, medicine and surgery, preparing him to treat advanced conditions affecting the mouth, face and jaws.

Hamedani brings that experience to Cameo Dental Specialists, where oral and maxillofacial surgeons, endodontists and periodontists collaborate under one roof. Patients can receive care ranging from root canal therapy and gum disease treatment to wisdom tooth removal and treatment for facial injuries.

“Each specialty has unique expertise,” Hamedani says, “and our multidisciplinary environment ensures we are providing the best care to our patients.”

Cameo offers same-day appointments for patients in pain and works to schedule other visits promptly. Team members help patients understand their insurance coverage and provide clear pricing before treatment begins. Hamedani says every patient is treated “as if they are a member of our own family.”

He also encourages patients not to wait for discomfort before seeking care. “Pain-free does not mean disease-free,” he says. Preventive treatment can help patients avoid pain, added expense, and more complicated procedures later on.

Hamedani’s commitment to continued learning extends beyond the practice. He is a clinical assistant professor of surgery at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and chair of the Department of Dentistry at MacNeal Hospital. Teaching residents and working in a hospital setting give him opportunities to keep growing professionally and bring that experience back to his patients.

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped.
Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten.

The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.
Kristin Bailey said she saw an ad about the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and decided it was a good fit for Owen.

“He’s always been really into books,” Bailey said. “He had a natural interest in books at nine months old. That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.”

Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022.

“Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.”

Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment.

Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal.

“Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
