Here, I am providing you with the “golden list”. This is the list of things / procedures / investigations that you need to complete, before your implant placement process can be started. Your implant professional will generally follow a checklist like the one below. However, it can vary for each dental practitioner.
-Blood test
-Check / treatment of systemic diseases like diabetes and blood pressure
-Mouth examination
-Bite check and condition of the gum ridge to determine the size and position of the implants.
-Check for gum disease, tooth decay, and biting anomalies, if any.
-X-ray examination to determine bone height in the gum.
-Computer aided tomography (CT) is an x-ray examination procedure which generates 3-D images and helps in planning the implant sizes, positions and angulations.
-Preparations before implant treatment
-Preparative surgery:
-Lifestyle changes. Give up (gradually, if necessary) drinking and/or smoking. It will speed up recovery and prolong the life of the implants.
-Get rid of any cold, fever, or any other underlying medical or dental illness that may hamper implant healing and ossoeintegration. You cannot be considered for getting dental implants, unless you are completely physically fit.
