A smoother surgery trip
Ask us to include a hotel in your surgery package
For patients coming from hours away, returning home immediately after implant surgery may not be the most comfortable plan. When arranged before treatment, Odessa Family Dental is happy to include nearby hotel accommodations as part of the surgical package.
- Hotel details are confirmed before the procedure.
- Your personalized instructions determine when you should travel home.
- A responsible adult may still be required to drive and stay with you after sedation.
- The hotel does not replace clinical monitoring or emergency care.

Travel FAQ
Questions patients ask before making the drive
Do you really see implant patients from hours away?
Yes. Odessa Family Dental sees patients from the Kansas City area and from communities several hours away. Tell us where you live so the visit sequence can be discussed early.
Is a hotel automatically included?
We are happy to include a nearby hotel stay as part of a coordinated surgery package. The specific lodging arrangement, dates, and number of nights must be confirmed with the office in advance.
Can every visit be combined into one trip?
No. Implant and All-on-X care normally require examination, treatment, and follow-up visits. The exact number and timing depend on your clinical plan.
Can I drive after implant surgery?
That depends on the procedure and medications. Oral or IV sedation requires a responsible adult driver. Follow the personalized instructions from your clinical team.
