Out-Patient Day Surgery

We understand that some dental procedures require the comprehensive environment of a hospital. Out-patient day surgery is a fantastic option for ensuring your child receives the necessary care with the highest level of safety and comfort. Dr. Chelsea Wehr and our skilled team are here to guide you through the process, making it as smooth and stress-free as possible. 

What is Out-Patient Day Surgery?

Out-patient day surgery involves performing necessary dental procedures in a hospital setting, allowing your child to go home the same day. This approach is often used for more complex cases or when general anesthesia is required for the child’s comfort and cooperation. 

Why Choose Out-Patient Day Surgery?

There are several reasons why out-patient day surgery might be the best choice for your child’s dental care:

• Comprehensive Care: Access to hospital facilities and staff ensures your child receives the highest standard of care.
• Safety: General anesthesia is administered by experienced anesthesiologists in a controlled environment.
• Comfort: The hospital setting allows for a relaxed and controlled experience, minimizing stress for both the child and the parents. 

The Process of Out-Patient Day Surgery 

1. Initial Consultation: Our dentist and team will assess your child’s needs and determine if out-patient day surgery is necessary.
2. Pre-Surgery Preparation: Detailed instructions will be provided to prepare your child for the surgery day, including fasting guidelines and what to expect.
3. Day of Surgery: Your child will be admitted to the hospital, where the procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. Our team will ensure they are comfortable and calm throughout the process.
4. Post-Surgery Care: After the procedure, your child will be monitored in the recovery room until they are ready to go home. We will provide post-operative care instructions and schedule a follow-up appointment.
