Required Preparations Prior to Dental Implant Procedure
• Blood Test
• Systemic diseases , such as diabetes and hypertension , may likely ruin the dental implant surgery . So if a dentist discovers any disease that may likely affect the treatment , such infections must be attended to . In other words , treating the infections and disease is a priority .
• Mouth Examination
• This process involves examining the condition of the gum ridge and biting . This will help the doctor decide the perfect size and the best position to place the implant . It is important to treat any problems such as tooth decay and gum disease prior to treatment .
• X-ray Examination
• Dental implant surgery requires good , healthy jaw bones . Not only that the bone has to be very thick . This will provide the right support for the implants to sit perfectly . The best way to determine the bone volume , as well as the shape of the teeth , is to perform an x-ray examination .
• Periodontal Exam
• The periodontal check is a vital aspect and must be performed before the surgery . This is done to determine the conditions of your gum . A patient suffering from gum disease is no right candidate for dental implants . Treating gum disease is a priority . First , the doctor will have to develop a treatment plan for the gum disease . Once the gum is fully restored and considered healthy enough , then the surgery can be performed .
