Description
Ceci underwent extractions, a sinus lift, bone grafting, and bridge work at Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa in preparation for dental implants. Although she was initially anxious, our office’s welcoming atmosphere, our team’s clear communication, and our sedation options helped her feel at ease. Ceci says her recovery went much faster than expected and that she was chewing comfortably within days.

I had a couple of extractions.
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:14.597
I had a bridge section, a sinus lift,
and then we did some bone grafting
00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:16.305
to set up for future implants.
00:00:16.389 --> 00:00:18.307
Coming in, it was incredibly welcoming.
00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:21.383
I was already getting answers
to questions that I had
00:00:21.466 --> 00:00:23.311
and received them almost immediately.
00:00:23.394 --> 00:00:25.437
Honestly, for me, it was the atmosphere.
00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:26.597
It was very inviting.
00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:27.982
It was very reassuring.
00:00:28.065 --> 00:00:30.437
Everybody sat there
and asked me, "How are you?"
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:32.902
Do you need anything?
Can we give you something?
00:00:33.528 --> 00:00:36.677
Is there a way that we can
provide something for you?
00:00:36.989 --> 00:00:39.797
I was incredibly anxious,
and in light of that,
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.641
it was offered to me to have
my procedures done under sedation,
00:00:43.841 --> 00:00:46.160
which I also was
a little bit nervous about.
00:00:47.456 --> 00:00:50.876
You guys then explained that I could get
what was called a chill pill.
00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:55.157
I arrived in the expected amount of time,
and I took that,
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.756
and by the time that the procedure
was ready to go,
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.800
I was no longer anxious.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.095
Any other questions that I had
about that day had been answered,
00:01:04.178 --> 00:01:06.847
and then I was just waiting
on the procedure to begin.
00:01:06.931 --> 00:01:10.081
Within days,
everything was already healing,
00:01:10.183 --> 00:01:13.853
I was chewing, I was able to make
much faster progress
00:01:13.937 --> 00:01:15.063
than I'd ever expected.
00:01:15.146 --> 00:01:16.856
It went very well.
I had no issues.
