Helpful Info for Happy Visits

Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before your procedure, unless your dentist gives you other directions. Wear comfortable clothing and arrange for someone to drive you home, as you may feel drowsy afterward.

 Mild swelling and soreness are normal for the first few days. Stick to soft foods, avoid chewing on the implant site, and keep the area clean with gentle rinsing as directed by your dentist.

 Bite down on the gauze provided to control bleeding for the first few hours. Avoid using straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing, as these can dislodge the clot and delay healing.

Expect some swelling and tenderness for a few days. Apply ice packs as needed, take prescribed medications, and eat soft foods until you feel comfortable resuming your normal diet.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include implant-supported dentures, All-on-4® implants, or traditional dentures. Your dentist will help determine which option best restores function and aesthetics.

 Not always—if they are healthy, fully erupted, and positioned correctly, removal may not be necessary. However, if they’re impacted, painful, or causing crowding, extraction is usually recommended.

I saw Dr. Patel for 4 wisdom teeth extractions. The whole process was really quick from referral to consult to scheduling. The office is very professional. The procedure was quick and Dr. Patel even called me after hours to ensure my recovery was going well. I would highly recommend this office and Dr. Patel

I had my wisdom teeth removed here recently, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The staff were super welcoming and very nice. The office was clean, modern, and had a calming vibe. The anesthesia worked perfectly, and I don’t even remember the procedure! The surgeon called to check on me the day after surgery, which was a nice touch and showed they truly care about their patients. I was impressed by how professional, efficient, and friendly the entire team was. I’d definitely recommend this office to anyone needing oral surgery.
