Here are the pre-operative procedures:
Most dental implants are performed under local anesthesia only, and sometimes they can be performed under general anesthesia.
A dental imaging examination must be performed, and the doctor may request a panoramic dental image to diagnose problems that cannot be seen through a regular examination.
People who suffer from blood clotting disorders are required to undergo blood clotting function checks before the operation. Because they are more likely to bleed.
The doctor gives some antibiotics to people who are more susceptible to endocarditis, such as: people with artificial valves, and those with immunodeficiency.
A set of preliminary tests are performed to create a tooth structure with color and texture as similar as possible to the original teeth, and in some cases pre-treatments are needed before dental implants to create a suitable area of tissue for implantation of new teeth.
