At Frisco Dental Implant Center, we want to ensure that you feel informed and fully prepared for your upcoming oral surgery. Below are our pre-op instructions to help make your procedure as safe and smooth as possible.

General Pre-Op Guidelines

• Adult Supervision Required: Please have a responsible adult (18 years or older) accompany you on the day of your surgery. We recommend they stay at our office for the duration of your procedure.

• Fasting Instructions:

  • If your surgery is scheduled in the morning with moderate sedation, do not eat or drink anything, including water, after midnight.

  • For afternoon surgeries, do not eat or drink for at least six hours before your appointment.

  • An empty stomach is critical for patient safety under anesthesia.

Medication Guidelines

• Regular Medications: Take all prescribed medications as directed with a small sip of water.

• Antibiotics: If prescribed, take the antibiotic one hour prior to your appointment.

• Diabetic Patients: Please notify us ahead of time so we can help manage medication and dosage adjustments.

• Pain Relievers: If you take more than two regular aspirin (such as Motrin, Advil, or ibuprofen) regularly, inform our office for additional instructions.

Day of Surgery

• Wear loose, short-sleeved clothing to allow easy access to your upper arm for blood pressure monitoring.

• If you are feeling ill or experiencing symptoms before your surgery, contact our office immediately for further guidance.
