Surgical Instructions | Kurz Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

It is important to us that our patients are informed during every step of their treatment so that they are well prepared and have the chance to ask questions. The following information is a starting point for researching your procedure and should assist in developing a list of questions to ask during your consultation.

There are a few steps that patients need to take prior to anesthesia. First, you should not eat or drink anything at least 8 hours prior to surgery and refrain from smoking 12 hours prior to surgery. You will need someone to accompany you to the surgery and drive you home after. On the day of surgery, do not wear any jewelry, contact lenses, or dentures. If you regularly take medications, discuss those with the doctor to ensure that they are approved prior to surgery. Other than these simple considerations, there is nothing else you need to do to prepare for surgery.

After dental implant surgery, it is recommended that you take at easy for 48-72 hours. Resting assists the healing process and limits after surgery bleeding. Drink plenty of fluids, but nothing too cold. You may need to apply an ice pack to your face in twenty-minute intervals for the 2 days following surgery. If you received upper implants, do not blow your nose for two weeks. It is common to experience slight bleeding for about two days after surgery. You will feel slightly uncomfortable the first two days following surgery, but the third day is generally better. An increase in temperature of about 1 to 2 degrees is to be expected and is not a cause for concern. Finally, while you can eat when you are hungry, do not chew directly onto the bone graft.

Kurz Family and Cosmetic Dentistry review 1

My family of 7 has been going to Kurz for over 10 years and have always had fantastic service from cleaning to root canals to 3 sets of veneers (me and two of my kids). Appreciate the staff and the new office design!

Wonderful experience, first time back in over a decade and still just comfortable and professional as the first time I went. Most important...they didn't try to upsell extra procedures on me. Finally a dentist with some ethical training. Also very great with my kid as well.

If you’re looking for a professional dentist with friendly staff, look no further. I have been a client since 2013 and have had no complaints. From bridge and bridge repair to simple maintenance, Th yes are awesome. The office is very comfortable and service is quick. Take my word and look no further!
