Dental Implant Consultation Process
It is important to let your doctor conduct a thorough examination before you decide to get dental implants. Only a professional can advise you on whether you need a multiple tooth implant or a single tooth implant will suffice.
The examination may involve 3D imaging and creating a clear picture of the anatomy of your jaw before arriving at a solution. The time frame and procedure of your dental implants depend on your health.
If you are extremely healthy, you can receive both the implants and abutments simultaneously. However, if you have a compromised immune system, you may need to take some antibiotics to prepare for the procedure. Some people may not even have the bone structure required to fit the implant. This will require bone grafts.
The consultation makes the process much quicker. Here are some things your doctor might ask you;
| • |
Do you have a history of allergic reaction to any medication?
|
| • |
Are you currently on any medications that may interfere with the procedure?
|
| • |
Have you recently been sick or caught a cold? |
Pre-Surgery Preparation
It is important to prepare for the surgery in light of the guidelines provided by the doctor. This includes the following;
| • |
Stop eating 12 hours before the procedure.
|
| • |
Wear loose clothes to the surgery, so you are comfortable.
|
| • |
If you have had bone grafts, ensure your jaw has healed completely.
|
| • |
Schedule any time off from work.
|
| • |
Make sure you have soft and cold food items along with ice packs. |
The better prepared you are before your surgery, the less stressed you will feel post-surgery.
The Benefits of Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants restore confidence along with providing a younger looking smile. Dental implants allow you to consume a variety of food items you couldn’t access before. Implants improve the overall quality of your life.
Dental implants resemble real teeth, unlike dentures, meaning they are just as strong and beautiful. They last longer and reduce bone loss by covering the bone structure. They can improve the durability of the entire structure of your mouth and prevent infection or disease from spreading to other teeth or your gums.
