Patient Safety First

Clinical Protocols & Policies

To ensure the highest standard of care and surgical success, all patients must adhere to the following working standards at AR 32.

General Instructions

Your safety begins with transparency.

  • Patients are kindly requested to inform the front desk and doctors about their current illnesses, allergies, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, major accidental history, or unpleasant surgical experiences.
  • If not disclosed, the patient bears responsibility for any medical complications arising from withheld information.

Informed Consent

A vital portion of preoperative care.

  • The physician performing the procedure will thoroughly explain the risks, benefits, and alternative treatment options.
  • By consenting to surgery, you trust the knowledge, skill, and integrity of our health care team.
  • In accepting this trust, our team makes your welfare and safety our absolute first consideration.

Pre-Operative Protocols

  • Blood sugar, blood pressure & thyroid levels should be under control prior to surgery (Consult your physician).
  • Start taking prescribed medications 2 days prior to the date of surgery or as strictly instructed by the doctor.
  • Have a heavy breakfast or meal 1 hour prior to arriving for surgery.
  • Avoid health-hazardous habits (smoking, alcohol, tobacco, mishri) 48 hrs prior to surgery & 72 hrs post-surgery.
  • You should be accompanied by a close friend or relative on the day of the surgery.
  • Refrain from using any makeup or cosmetics near the mouth on the day of surgery to prevent sterile contamination.
  • Be present in the clinic premises 15-20 minutes before the surgery time to avoid anxiety and allow for prep.

Appointments & Financial Policy

  • Book your respective surgeon’s appointment at least 3 days in advance.
  • Appointments are confirmed only after receiving a 30-50% advance of the total treatment amount.
  • Advance amounts are non-refundable on cancellation of appointments or if you are delayed by more than 20-25 minutes.
  • Kindly do not repeatedly reschedule surgical appointments.
  • Discounts are applicable only if patients strictly adhere to the agreed payment schedule.
  • Discounts are standardized as per www.ar32.in. No custom bargaining or negotiations will be entertained.

"Quality always comes with a price tag."

Please refrain from bargaining if you consider your teeth to be an important element of your body. All charges are highly reasonable compared to the elite surgical quality delivered by Team AR 32.

Post-Operative Do’s & Don’ts

Strict adherence to these rules ensures rapid healing and prevents complications like "Dry Socket".

Immediate Care (0 - 2 Hours)
  • Do not leave the hospital premises immediately. Relax for 10-15 mins before heading home.
  • Do not self-ride a bike or drive a car to go home.
  • Do not talk or attempt to displace the bite gauze at the surgical site.
  • Bite the gauze firmly for exactly 45 minutes, then remove and dispose of it properly.
  • Do NOT keep the gauze for more than 45 minutes, as it may lead to Dry Socket.
  • Do not change the cotton at home or stretch your mouth to look at the site in a mirror.
Diet & Nutrition
