Your local Knoxville, TN dentists, Dr. Michael J. Costa, Jr. offer EXPAREL® (bupivacaine), a safe and effective local anesthetic that blocks nerve impulses at the site of an injection for three days.
“EXPAREL® is just one of the ways we provide our patients with the safest, most comfortable experience,” says Dr. Michael J. Costa, Jr. “With EXPAREL®, we’re eliminating the need to prescribe opioid analgesics for the first three days after oral surgery in our office, for example, after wisdom tooth removal, other dental extractions, implant placement, or other implant related procedures.”
Patients appreciate the ease with which pain is continuously controlled during this period of most significant gum tissue inflammation. After three days, an over-the-counter pain killer is usually all that is needed to manage any discomfort.
