• Periodontal Exam
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.
