Because your health and safety are our top priorities, we provide narcotic-free procedures whenever possible. Every day, more than 90 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. What is more alarming is that half of people who inject heroin turned to that street drug after abusing prescription painkillers. We want to do our part to stop this opioid crisis!Rather than prescribing narcotic pain tablets after an oral surgery procedure, we employ a method of pain control that gives patients three to four days of pain relief without risking the use of an addictive drug. This local, long-lasting anesthetic gives patients a comfortable outcome and can be followed up with anti-inflammatory drugs such as ketorolac or Ibuprofen. Our doctor will discuss your options on a case-by-case basis.
Not only have we created methods for minimizing pain for our patients without dangerous opioids, we have adopted some of the latest advancements in implanting complete sets of teeth in people who have been turned away from other practices.
