Surgical Oral Care in Charleston, SC

How do I prepare for my oral surgery appointment?

We provide pre-operative instructions tailored to your procedure, which may include fasting, pausing certain medications, or arranging post-surgical care. You’ll receive clear, written guidance before your scheduled surgery.

Can multiple surgical treatments be completed in one visit?

In many cases, yes. When appropriate and safe, procedures like extractions and grafting can be combined in a single appointment. We’ll review your treatment plan to determine the most efficient and comfortable approach.

What safety protocols are in place during surgery?

Our surgical suites are equipped with advanced monitoring equipment, and all procedures are performed under strict sterilization and safety standards. Dr. Hehr and our team follow hospital-grade protocols to ensure your well-being.

Will someone need to come with me on the day of surgery?

Yes. If your procedure involves sedation or anesthesia, you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and remain with you for several hours afterward.

How soon can I resume normal activities after surgery?

It depends on the nature of the procedure. Some patients return to work or school within a day or two, while others require more time. We’ll provide recovery guidelines based on your individual case.
