how to prepare for implantology surgery
 

Implant dentistry is an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, but proper preparation is essential to ensure the success of the procedure. In this article, we will explore the essential steps to best prepare for implant dentistry surgery.

Initial consultation and clinical evaluation

Before proceeding with surgery, it is essential to undergo a thorough consultation with the dentist. During this visit, diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or 3-D CT scans, will be performed to assess the overall health of the mouth and plan the procedure in detail. It is important to discuss any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or current medications with the dentist, as these factors can affect the outcome of implant surgery.

Maintaining optimal oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is crucial before implant dentistry surgery. Professional cleaning is recommended to remove plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of postoperative infections. In addition, the use of chlorhexidine mouthwashes can help keep the area disinfected, especially when a toothbrush cannot be used in the treated area after surgery.

Preventive drug therapy

The dentist may prescribe antibiotic therapy to be started the day before surgery to prevent infection. It is essential to strictly follow the practitioner's instructions regarding taking medications, including any anti-inflammatory or pain medication to be taken in the days following the operation.

Preoperative nutrition and hydration

Before surgery, it is advisable to eat light, well-balanced meals. Avoiding heavy or hard-to-digest foods can help reduce the risk of postoperative nausea. Maintaining good hydration is equally important to promote rapid recovery.

Anxiety and comfort management

It is normal to experience some degree of anxiety before surgery. Openly discussing your concerns with your dentist can help you find strategies to manage anxiety, such as relaxation techniques or, if necessary, the use of mild sedation. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes on the day of surgery and arrange for transportation home, especially if sedation is planned.

Smoking cessation and alcohol restriction

Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of postoperative complications. It is recommended to discontinue smoking at least one week before and after surgery. Alcohol consumption should also be limited, as it can interfere with blood clotting and immune response.

Postoperative planning

Planning ahead for the postoperative period is essential. Provide adequate rest period, avoid strenuous physical activities, and carefully follow the dentist's instructions regarding diet and oral hygiene. Make sure to have the recommended foods, such as soft and cold foods, available to facilitate healing.

Thorough preparation is critical to a successful dental implant surgery. By following these tips and working closely with your dentist, you can approach the operation with peace of mind and promote a rapid and complete recovery.

    More than positive experience. Arrived on Sunday, immediately a personal driver on hand to get to the apartment courtesy of the clinic with wi-fi... on Monday morning you start treatment right away with the staff making you feel comfortable and comfortable. Once the work is done you return to the apartment a two minute walk away...you can find every primary service all around the apartment, bakery, convenience store, coffee shop, etc...every morning they give you an appointment to continue the work and take an interest in your condition throughout the day. Staff simply smiling and always helpful but most of all competent. A salute to Linda who solves any problem for you. Thank you all and we will see you again soon to continue the care plan. Highly recommended

They create a connection with you by accompanying you to this place the "dreaded " dentist trying to make your moment happier. Thanks again especially Linda , a competent professional but at the same time very empathetic person.

    I have to be honest, I had a history regarding dental problems, I already had dentures below with pins, but they without any concern and with great mastery did the surgery, I was already complaining but they did two arches below twelve teeth and above fourteen, after a few months I had problems, they invited me to come back, they destroyed the upper prosthesis placed on the canines they devitalized my teeth and rebuilt the prosthesis without asking me anything, I was already complaining that even the molars were giving me pain, they even though they were risking left them for me. After two more three months I called them back, they were hurting me, without thinking twice they called me back and redid all the work above as well as devitalized the remaining molars. I thank them, thank you again more than that they could not do. They tried in every way not to devitalize my teeth, while risking as it happened to redo the work.. again thank you thank you..
