I had million percent better experience than everyone I talked to who has had the same procedure. Dr. Kuperon DOES NOT use splints in his surgeries which makes the healing process extremely easy. I woke up and could already feel a difference. It is two weeks post op, and I am at my appointment and I have not even taken any painkillers today. He says at my last appointment in two weeks, the single dissolvable stitch he put in will be gone and my teeth will not be numb anymore. He says I can start exercising now and take ibuprofen. Seriously, listen to me: If your doctor is going to be using splints, do not walk, run away and come find Dr. Kuperon.
Dr. Kuperan was a lifesaver. My prior surgery with a different surgeon resulted in poor healing and complications. Dr. Kuperan quickly identified the issue, that other surgeons failed to see, and the surgery was smooth and close to painless. His level of knowledge and bedside manner surpasses others in his field. I would highly recommend him!!
