Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about dental implants? We have answers.
Prepare for oral surgery by scheduling a consultation with your oral surgeon to discuss the procedure and provide your medical history. Follow fasting guidelines provided by your surgeon, adjust medications as necessary, and arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery. Wear comfortable clothing, avoid jewelry, and stock up on post-surgery supplies like soft foods and pain medications.
After oral surgery, it's important to rest for a day or two and avoid strenuous activities. Take prescribed pain medications, apply ice packs for swelling, and maintain a soft or liquid diet initially. Follow Dr. Leon's specific oral hygiene and aftercare instructions, avoid disruptive habits like smoking or using straws, and attend follow-up appointments. Contact us right away if you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or swelling for proper guidance.
