For root-end surgical procedures, consultations are completed at the initial visit, and the surgical treatment will be delivered on the 2nd appointment.  This treatment appointment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (maximum), depending on the case.  It is recommended that after surgery, you avoid heavy lifting, exercise, alcoholic and acidic drinks, and adhere to a soft-food diet for the first 3-5 days post-operation.  Further post-operative instructions and an emergency contact will be provided at the time of service.
