For patients
Surgery without a second waiting room.
If your dentist has recommended oral surgery, it can often be done in the office you already visit. You will still see the same team. A visiting surgeon comes to them.
Scheduled through your dentist
You do not need to find us. Your office books the visit as they would any other treatment.
In the chair you know
The room, the parking, and the people at the desk stay the same.
Your dentist finishes the work
Crowns, bridges, and dentures still come from the practice that knows your bite.
The day of surgery
01
Before
Eat and medicate only as your dentist instructed. Arrange a ride if you will be sedated. Bring an updated medication list to the office — not to this website.
02
During
Local anesthesia is used. Sedation, when planned, is discussed in advance. You should not feel sharp pain; tell the team if you do.
03
After
You go home with written instructions from the office that treated you. Swelling and soreness are common. Call that office if bleeding, pain, or swelling is sudden or severe.
Common questions
Will I still see my dentist?
Yes. Surgery happens in their office. They remain your dentist before, during, and after.
Is this a hospital procedure?
Most of the procedures we perform in a dental office are done with local anesthesia, sometimes with sedation. You go home the same day unless your physicians have planned otherwise.
Will it hurt?
You should be numb for the procedure. Afterward, expect soreness that is usually managed with the medications and instructions your dentist reviews with you. Call the office that treated you if pain is sudden, severe, or unexpected.
How do I prepare?
Follow the written instructions from your dentist. Typical requests include a ride home if you are sedated, a soft-food plan, and an updated medication list. Do not use this website to send health information.
