Patient Information FAQ’s
Coverage of dental implant surgery can depend on whether medical insurance, dental insurance or both could apply to the procedure. Just how much an insurance plan covers can depend on your insurance provider and plan coverage details. Patients should always have discussions about insurance coverage with their oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS).
If you have qualms about being under anesthesia during a procedure, discuss your other options with your oral surgeon. It may be possible to only use a local anesthetic to numb the area instead of general anesthesia. The opposite is also true – if you would prefer to be sedated during your procedure, ask your surgeon if this is an option.
Your oral surgery team will give you the exact anesthetics to either completely numb the area or sedate you during your surgery. If you’re worried about pain during the procedure, discuss your anesthesia preferences and needs with your oral surgeon ahead of time.

Depending on the type of surgery you need, your consultation could occur the same day as your procedure, or may require a separate consult and surgery visit. You may also need a panoramic x-ray to get a full view of the teeth and surrounding structures. This imaging may be different from the x-ray you provide from your general dentist.
During your consultation, your Oral Surgeon will review your x-rays, medical history, and discuss these findings to formulate the best treatment plan with you. You will also be able to speak with one of our Treatment Coordinators to discuss insurance, payment options, and scheduling.
If you are currently under the care of a General Dentist, it is ideal that you receive a referral so that we can maintain communication about your care and treatment with our practice. In addition, some insurances require proof of medical necessity to cover your treatment, and a referral can be used as proof of necessity.
We also accept referrals from any treating provider rendering you dental care.
Post-Operative care is very important. The most important thing you can do after surgery to minimize complications and aid your recovery is to follow the post-operative instructions given to you by your Oral Surgeon. We recommend that you have at least 2-3 full days with limited physical activity to rest and recover. Swelling can be present approximately 7-10 days following surgery.
