Dental Implant Surgery Preparation
Ensuring a Successful Surgery
Proper preparation, both mental and physical, can significantly impact the success of your surgery. If you need anesthesia during the procedure, it is essential to make necessary preparations to ensure your safety. Even if you feel anxious or nervous, you can trust that the surgical team at Florida Dental Implant Institute has the training and credentials to provide you with safe and comfortable treatment. By following our dental implant surgery preparation pre-operative instructions, you can help ensure a smoother surgery and recovery process.
Before Anesthesia
Proper preparation for surgery is important. Here are some best practices for preparing for your procedure and anesthesia.
Bleeding
It is typical to have minor bleeding within the first 24 hours of your surgery. In case of excessive bleeding, apply pressure to the affected area by biting down on a gauze pad for 30 minutes. If you experience continuous or uncontrollable bleeding, please get in touch with our office right away.
Smoking
We recommend that you avoid smoking for a minimum of 48 hours prior to your appointment to ensure a safe and quick recovery. It would be advantageous for you to reduce or quit smoking before your surgery as tobacco and nicotine can harm oral tissues and restrict blood and oxygen flow, resulting in slow healing and an elevated risk of infection.
Clothing and Accessories
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes with short sleeves and low or no-heeled shoes on the day of your surgery to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Please bear in mind that we will need access to your arm, so it's important to wear clothing that isn't restrictive. Avoid wearing jewelry, contacts, cosmetics (even perfume), makeup, lipstick, nail polish, etc. during the surgery.
Medication
To ensure your safety during your procedure, it is very important that you provide our staff with complete information regarding all medications or supplements that you take on a regular basis. This includes any prescription drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, blood thinners, insulin, pain or depression medications, or any other substances, whether used medically or recreationally. While some medications may be allowed on the day of the surgery, others may need to be suspended days or even weeks before the procedure. If you have asthma, please remember to bring your inhaler with you on the day of your surgery. This will help us ensure that you receive the best possible care.
Physical Health
If you are sick or are experiencing a chest or head cold, sore throat, fever, stomach flu, or any other illness, we may need to reschedule your appointment for another day. Surgery is an invasive procedure that can take a toll on your body, and it is crucial that you are in good health for the success of your operation and recovery.
Assistance
To attend your appointment for surgery, please make sure you have arranged for someone you know and trust, like a friend or family member, to drive you to and from our office. They will also need to stay in the office while you have your surgery or wait for you in a vehicle outside. It's important to remember that after the surgery, you won't be able to operate machinery, drive, or make decisions for yourself for the rest of the day.
Activity
After your surgery, please refrain from physical or strenuous activity, driving a vehicle, or operating machinery for the first 24 hours.

Don't Let Dental Anxiety Negatively Implant Your Health
Unfortunately, avoiding dental care can lead to various health problems such as pain, oral health issues, worsened anxiety, and the need for more complex and costly procedures. Neglecting oral care can also make teeth more prone to decay and gum disease. If left unchecked, gum disease can progress to periodontitis and cause bacteria to spread throughout the body, leading to systemic infections and complications, especially for those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, respiratory disease, or heart disease. Fortunately, with affordable and comforting sedation dentistry, clinically excellent oral surgery is just a phone call away. Our team is dedicated to making your oral surgery experience as comfortable as possible by explaining everything you need to know about your procedure and delivering precise surgery with the latest technology and care practices.
