First Visit

Thank you for choosing Brightside Oral Surgery!

 

All first visits will begin with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Rashi Garg, our Specialist Oral Surgeon. We’ll discuss your concerns, your treatment goals and formulate a plan that suits your needs.

 

Here’s what you can bring to your initial appointment to assist us in your care:

 

1. Your referral letter

2. Dental x-rays or scans that have been taken

3. Medical information including a list of current medications and details of your primary physician or medical specialists

 

What to expect

 

• Comprehensive Evaluation

Our oral surgery specialist is trained in diagnosing and treating a wide range of dental and orofacial disorders including pain and TMJ disorders. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include a thorough examination, imaging studies, and diagnostic tests to pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms.

​

• Personalized Treatment Plans

Once a diagnosis is made, we work closely with each patient to develop personalised treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and goals. Whether your condition requires conservative management, such as medication and physical therapy, or surgical interventions, you can trust that you will receive the most appropriate and effective care at Brightside Oral Surgery.

​

• Multidisciplinary Approach

In managing orofacial pain and TMJ disorders, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach that may involve collaboration with other healthcare professionals, such as dentists, medical specialists, physiotherapists, pain specialists, and psychologists. By harnessing the expertise of a diverse team, we can address all aspects of your condition and provide comprehensive, holistic care.

We empower our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their oral health and well-being. We take the time to educate patients about their condition, treatment options, and self-care strategies, empowering them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their recovery journey.

 

Sedation Options

We understand that dental anxiety is a common concern for many patients. That's why we offer a variety of sedation options to ensure your comfort and relaxation during your surgical procedure. Our sedation options include:

1. Local Anaesthesia: Administered directly to the surgical site to numb the area and eliminate pain during the procedure.

2. Oral Sedation: Prescription medication taken orally before the procedure to induce a state of deep relaxation and reduce anxiety.

3. General Anaesthesia: In some cases, we may recommend general anaesthesia. This involves the administration of medication that induces a state of unconsciousness, ensuring that you are completely unaware of the surgical procedure and feel no pain. Our experienced anaesthesia team closely monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

 

Our experienced oral surgery team will work with you to determine the most suitable sedation option based on your individual needs, medical history, and level of anxiety.
