What do I need to do before a dental implant surgery?

Dental implant surgery is a process in which a screw-like artificial tooth root made  of metal is used to replace the missing tooth that look and function like a natural tooth.

Before a dental implant surgery is performed, one should understand the procedure and the precautions that need to be taken. First and foremost, the dental implant surgery depends on the condition of your jawbone and the type of the implant.

In case  you  choose  to go for dental implants, you need to know the answers for these following questions:

• Do I have one or more missing teeth?
• Do I have a strong and adequate bone structure to hold the implants securely?
• Do I have healthy surrounding oral tissues?
• Do I have any other medical conditions that can affect bone healing?

Along with these answers, you must have a thorough evaluation  that includes:

• Comprehensive dental exam: You should undergo proper dental X-rays that will help your dentist to study the structure of your jaw and mouth.
• Understanding the treatment plan: You need to understand your treatment plan for dental implant surgery.   It depends on various factors such as how many teeth you need to replace, the health condition of your jawbone and the surrounding teeth, etc.  Therefore the treatment plan includes  involvement of many dental specialists such as an oral or maxillofacial surgeon (specialized in conditions of the mouth, jaw and face) and a periodontics surgeon (specialized to work with oral structures that support teeth).

Therefore it is highly recommended that before going for dental implant surgery, you   talk to your doctor about your medical conditions and any medication or drugs  you are taking.
