While each oral surgery, whether wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, or another procedure, has its own details, the day-of experience follows a similar process. Knowing what to expect and who will be performing your surgery can help you feel calm, confident, and ready.
At Adara Surgical Institute, we combine advanced technology, proven surgical expertise, and a patient-first approach to make your oral surgery as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Arrival and Pre-Surgery Preparation
For many patients, we can complete an initial virtual intake consultation before surgery and then finalize your full consultation the same day as your procedure. This option streamlines your visit and helps you move forward with care more efficiently.
When you arrive, our team will greet you, review your consent forms, and answer any last-minute questions.
If you are receiving IV sedation or general anesthesia, an IV line will be placed before your procedure begins. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and informed before moving into the surgical suite.
Your Sedation Options
We offer two primary sedation methods tailored to your needs and the nature of your dental treatment:
- Conscious Sedation: This method helps you feel calm and at ease while remaining awake. Sedative medication is given either orally or through an IV. For patients who need a higher level of relaxation, IV sedation provides deeper calm and is delivered directly into the bloodstream for fast, controlled effects.
- General Anesthesia: For more invasive or extensive procedures, we may recommend general anesthesia. This deeper form of sedation places you in a completely unconscious state, with no awareness of the procedure. General anesthesia is administered by highly trained professionals in our accredited surgical facility, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care.
Your Surgeon: Exceptional Skill and Experience
Your procedure will be performed by a highly trained surgeon that brings years of specialized experience and a dedication to excellence.

After the Procedure
Once your surgery is complete, you will be taken to a recovery area where our team will monitor you until you are ready to go home. If you had sedation or general anesthesia, you will need a responsible adult to drive you. Before you leave, we will review your personalized post-operative instructions and answer any final questions.
