Why do I need a new x-ray?
Oral conditions often change within a short period of time. Your treatment options are established based on your current radiographs. To assure accurate diagnosis and the best outcome, your radiographs must mirror your current situation. The Oral Surgery Center obtains radiographs only when necessary.

Refer to your plan benefit manual, your insurance company’s website, or call the number on the back of your insurance card for details about your specific benefits.

Estimated co-payments are due at the time of service and will be collected when you check in for your surgery.

What can I eat after surgery?
Immediately following surgery drink plenty of fluids but do not use a straw. Water and juices are good choices. Eat soft foods such as ice cream, pudding, gelatin, soups, and applesauce. After 24 hours and as tolerated, you may add more solid foods to your diet. Avoid crunchy, hard foods for one week.
