Lodi-area patients often travel to our Elk Grove implant center for consults and surgery. This page lists pre-op questions worth asking before you drive—not a claim of a separate Lodi office. No invent fees or case counts.

Care happens at the Elk Grove suite

Appointments are at 9340 W Stockton Blvd, Suite 120, Elk Grove unless your written plan says otherwise. Confirm parking and suite number when you book. Do not invent a Lodi satellite from a directory listing. Maps and this page should show the same NAP.

Pre-op questions for travelers

  1. Which meds should I take the morning of surgery?
  2. Do I need a driver after my planned anesthesia/sedation level?
  3. Soft-food shopping—what should I stock before the trip home to Lodi?
  4. Can early follow-ups be timed to reduce repeat drives?
  5. Who do I call after hours from Lodi if something feels wrong?
  6. Will I leave with temporary teeth the same day—per my written plan?

Day-of logistics

Bring ID, meds list, and prior imaging. Plan traffic buffer on the route to Stockton Blvd. If a companion is driving, share the suite and (916) 886-1806 before you leave home. Wear comfortable clothes and arrange childcare or pet care for a longer visit if imaging and planning happen the same day.

After you return to Lodi

Keep soft foods ready. Follow the rinse/brush diagram on your sheet. Save discharge contacts in your phone—not a number guessed from an old ad. Call sooner for fever, worsening swelling, or a temporary that loosens.

Locks

SMS dark—we will not text you from website forms. No invent satellite clinic, prices, or success rates. Apex Implant Centers identity (not Apex Dental Riverbank).
