ORAL SURGERY

At Whistler Dental, we regularly perform wisdom tooth extractions, as well more complex oral surgical procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and ridge preservation.

What To Expect After Surgery

Normal Post-operative Sensations

It is normal after any surgical procedure to have some pain and swelling. This is the body’s normal response. By following good post-operative care, you can minimize these after-effects as much as possible.

Post-operative care:

  • Everyone needs some recovery time after surgery. The length of recovery time varies from person to person, but we recommend at least 1 to 2 days of resting at home.
  • If possible, have someone to help you at home.
  • Take all antibiotics and medications as prescribed.
  • The day of surgery, use ice packs to keep inflammation down.
  • The next day, use hot cloths to help increase circulation and speed healing.
  • The swelling will peak about 48 hours post-surgery and should diminish by day four.
  • If sutures were used, they will need to be removed a week to ten days post-surgery.
  • Follow any specific instructions that are given to you regarding post-operative care for this time period.
  • If the swelling does not go away, please contact our office.

Covid-19 Update
Dear Valued Whistler Dental Patients,
We are very excited to announce that we are now open!
While many things in our world have changed, our dentists and team members remain committed to ensuring your visit to our practice is a safe and comforting experience.
A safe, secure, and sterile environment has always been a key pillar of how we operate our dental practice. It remains one of our top priorities to ensure that we minimize any real or perceived risks of exposure to viruses or contagions. However, in light of the recent coronavirus specific concerns, we have taken additional measures to enhance the existing infection policies, procedures, and controls we have in place.
As our practice begins to move forward, we will be contacting all our patients who have been postponed due to Covid-19 to reschedule your appointment after June 1st. If you require dental treatment, please feel free to contact our office at 604-932-3677 to book an appointment.
Sincerely,
Dr. McKenzie and all of the Whistler Dental team
