EXPERTISE

Why Choose Gardens for Your Surgery?


We combine the capabilities of a surgical center with the warmth of a private practice. Here is why patients in Palm Beach Gardens trust us with their surgical care:

  • In-House Specialists: You benefit from the expertise of Dr. Hans Almanzar (Implantologist) and Dr. Jesse Lemoine (Periodontist). Their combined experience in soft tissue and bone surgery ensures you receive the highest standard of care without needing a referral.

  • Sedation Dentistry: Your comfort is our priority. We offer IV Sedation (Twilight Sleep) and oral sedation options so you can relax or sleep through your procedure, waking up with no memory of the surgery.

  • Advanced 3D Technology: We use CBCT 3D imaging to plan every surgery virtually before we begin. This allows us to avoid nerves and sinuses, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster healing.

TESTIMONIAL

Patient Success Story: "I Slept Through It All"


Actual Patient Scenario

The Challenge: "Sarah," a 22-year-old student, had impacted wisdom teeth that were causing headaches and crowding her smile. She was terrified of surgery and needles. She put it off for a year until the pain became unbearable.

The Solution: She came to Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry because we offered IV sedation. Dr. Almanzar explained the procedure and promised she wouldn't feel a thing.

The Result: Sarah arrived, received her sedation, and woke up an hour later, asking when the surgery was going to start; it was already done! She went home, followed our recovery protocol, and was back to normal in a few days. She told us, "It was the best nap I’ve ever had. I wish I hadn't waited so long."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions


Is oral surgery painful?

Modern oral surgery is not painful. You will be completely numb during the procedure. For anxiety, we offer sedation. Afterward, you will have some soreness or swelling, but we provide detailed instructions and medication to keep you comfortable.

Can I drive myself home?

If you receive IV Sedation or Oral Sedation, you cannot drive. You must have a responsible adult drive you home and stay with you for a few hours. If you only have local anesthesia (numbing shots) or nitrous oxide, you can drive yourself.

What should I eat after surgery?

For the first 24-48 hours, stick to a soft, cool diet. Yogurt, smoothies (no straws!), mashed potatoes, and scrambled eggs are great options. Avoid spicy, hot, or crunchy foods that could irritate the surgical site.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes. We perform wisdom tooth extractions for teens and adults. We use 3D imaging to check the position of the roots to ensure a safe removal.

How long is the recovery?

It depends on the procedure. A simple extraction may heal in a few days. Complex implants or wisdom teeth may require 3-5 days of rest before returning to normal activity. Complete bone healing takes several months.
