Is your dental implant surgery just around the corner? If so, you’re probably looking forward to fully restoring your smile again. While the lasting results are promising, it’s important to take the time to ensure your treatment goes as smooth as possible. Read on to learn three ways you can prepare for your dental implant procedure!

#1: Be Well-Informed About Your Procedure

You’ll first consult your dentist about your treatment plan. This will involve learning the kind of implant you’ll receive, the treatment process, and the recovery time. While this can be a lot of information, it’s important that you feel comfortable and confident with the layout of your procedure. For this reason, you should make sure to ask plenty of questions about the process. Your dentist will be happy to answer and clarify any concerns, as they’ll want you to fully understand what to expect for the long run.

#2: Plan for Your Visit

Most dental surgeries will likely require that you be given sedation therapy to keep you relaxed during the treatment. Before your appointment day, you should arrange for someone to drive you to the dental office, sit in the waiting room, and be able to safely drive you back home. Your dentist may also provide them with instructions on the proper foods you can eat to protect the implant site. This means they’ll also have to help prepare meals for a while, that way you have more time to rest.

#3: Follow Your Pre-Op Directions

It’s highly important that you stick to your pre-op instructions before your surgery. This typically involves following a fasting requirement in which you avoid eating or drinking anything within a given timeframe. By doing so, you can help prevent serious complications during your procedure or having to reschedule it for another day.

Once you’ve fully understood what to expect from the entire treatment and planned accordingly, you can visit your dentist well-prepared. After a successful procedure, you’ll be one step closer to enjoying your fully restored smile!
