What do you need to do before getting a dental implant?

Dental implants are a widely used plastic surgery, but dental implants are also minor surgeries that require a lot of ideas. So.

Preoperative precautions for dental implants.

1. A good oral environment is the guarantee for the success of dental implants, so this is one of the preoperative precautions for dental implants. Oral examinations, especially periodontal examinations and **, are very important. Periodontitis patients have a large number of bacteria on their teeth, which may enter the wound during dental implant surgery, greatly increasing the chance of implant infection, resulting in dental implant failure.

2. The preparation of dental implants also includes bone assessment, since the implant is to be embedded in the alveolar bone, the bone mass and bone quality of the alveolar bone are bound to be related to the success or failure of the dental implant operation. Therefore, a bone assessment should be performed prior to dental implant surgery. In general, the longer the tooth is missing, the more severe the bone loss becomes.

Experts remind everyone that dental implants should be done as soon as possible when missing teeth.

3. Prepare transitional dentures, most dental implant patients need to use temporary dentures to help spend the time of implant and bone healing, if the temporary teeth can be made before dental implant surgery, the patient can wear them immediately after the operation, and it will not affect the normal life. Therefore, this is also a preparation for dental implants.

The above is an introduction to the preoperative precautions for dental implants, and patients must prepare before dental implants to avoid pain.

Patients should bring along all previous medical records, including oral dental and systemic medical records, before dental implant surgery. If the patient has high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis and medication after cardiac stenting, if the patient has been prescribed dentures and X-rays, they should be brought to the doctor. If the patient has taken anticoagulant drugs, the doctor can determine the patient's blood status and whether there is a possibility of postoperative bleeding based on the results of the patient's previous physical examinations.

If the patient has had radiation**, the doctor can determine the effect on the bones based on the time of the patient's radiation**. The doctor can design the implant plan and implant time suitable for the patient according to the patient's condition.

1. When doing dental implant surgery, you should ensure that you are in good health. For patients with mild hypertension, blood pressure should return to normal, and women should avoid menstrual periods.

2. The oral cavity should be kept clean before surgery, and the teeth should be cleaned in advance and oral inflammation, diseases, etc.

3. A pair of removable dentures should be made for missing teeth in advance, and it is best to wear them for more than one month, so that they can not affect chewing and aesthetics during the period from the first operation to the second operation (before installing implant dentures).

4. If there is tooth extraction or gum surgery, you should wait for three months to recover from the bone defect and the X-ray shows that the alveolar bone quality and shape are satisfactory before considering dental implants.

5. Implant surgery is generally performed in the outpatient operating room, and you can go home to rest after the operation without hospitalization.

6. It is best to bring the previous dentures and the ** before the missing teeth for the reference of the prosthodontist, so that the implant dentures can be more natural and realistic in tooth arrangement and color.
