Day of Surgery – What to Expect

Here’s what will happen from arrival through discharge so you know what to expect.

Check-In
Upon arrival, our staff will review all necessary paperwork and collect any co-pay or deductible. Once check-in is complete, a nurse will escort your child to the pre-op area.
Pre-Op
In the pre-op area, the nurse will review your child's medical history, take their vital signs, and provide a gown. If appropriate, a sedative may be given to help your child relax.
Meet-Up
You will meet with the attending dentist and anesthesiologist. They will review the surgical plan, go over consent forms, and answer any questions you may have.
Surgery
When it’s time for surgery, the anesthesiologist will take your child to the operating room. You will wait in the designated area. The provider will update you after the procedure.
Post-Op
Your child will be moved to the recovery room. A nurse will bring you back to be with your child until they are ready to go home.
Going Home
The anesthesiologist determines when your child is stable, alert, and ready to go home. You will receive home care instructions, medication guidance, and emergency contact information before you leave.
