The Meriden Dental Group team provide the following procedures in our Meriden office.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frenectomy: Removes the thick tissue between the upper front teeth and the lip which causes a gap in the teeth or a speech impediment in younger patients.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excision biopsy: Used in oral cancer screenings.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants: The best option in tooth replacement, which provides a stable foundation for a new prosthetic tooth.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for Your Oral Surgery: Simple Steps<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting ready for Meriden oral surgery can include any number of steps, depending on you and your lifestyle. Below are some of the most common recommendations we have for our patients undergoing an oral surgical procedure.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrange a helping hand. Ask a loved one to drive you to and from your oral surgery, and to help you fill any necessary prescriptions beforehand or immediately after your procedure to make sure you have them on hand as soon as you need them.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow all pre-operative instructions carefully. If you were instructed not to eat after midnight before your surgery, don\u2019t. These instructions are crucial for the success of your procedure.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know what to wear. Plan your surgery outfit carefully &#8212; wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing, and leave the jewelry at home. Also try to go without your contact lenses, if possible, and don\u2019t wear any makeup (especially lipstick) to your surgery. <\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan your post-surgery diet. Depending on what your oral surgery is, you\u2019ll probably need to maintain a soft foods diet for the first few days after. Plan ahead by stocking up on soups and other things that you\u2019ll find easy to eat. Remember to avoid eating through a straw &#8212; smoothies and other purees can be eaten with a spoon.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions?
