Are you looking for a solution to get back your missing teeth? Looking for a permanent treatment option to get your teeth back?. World Of Dentistry Gurgaon is one of the best dental clinic in Gurgaon and implant centers with highly qualified and experienced doctors.

During the patient consultations, Dr. Rishi Rana provides thorough pre-op dental instructions to prepare the patients before undergoing the treatment. Dental implants are surgical fixtures placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth. There are some tips that one needs to know and follow before going for dental implant surgery:-

1) STOP TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL:- These habits can inhibit the healing process and increase post-treatment complications. It is better to cease the consumption of alcohol before surgery as it can cause bleeding complications. Smoking and tobacco significantly increase the risk of implant failure. These habits increase the risk of gum disease, which can infect the dental implant site. Smoking also decreases the oxygen level in the blood, making it difficult for the cells to heal themselves, thereby prolonging the time needed for recovery. Though quitting all these habits might be difficult but should be stopped no later than two weeks before surgery and should not continue until a full recovery, which can take 3-4 months.

2) DRUGS AND MEDICATIONS:- Before any procedure, it's mandatory to inform your dental surgeon about any medicines you may be taking. You need to disclose all of the medical histories. Taking certain medications, vitamins, and supplements can affect the recovery after the surgery. Aspirin, Warfarin, vitamin E, Coumadin can all cause bleeding issues. Precautions should be taken before surgery to reduce the risk of complications associated with the medications.

3) ORAL HYGIENE MAINTENANCE:- It's about keeping the mouth clean before dental implant surgery. To prevent the incision from being infected, it's helpful to practice all good oral hygiene habits well before surgery to reduce the number of bacteria within the mouth and to prevent gum disease. Brushing twice a day, flossing, rinsing the mouth with mouthwash is necessary even after the procedure to secure the newly placed dental implant.

4) TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS:- Before undergoing the procedure the patients should arrange for someone to drop and pick-up them from the clinic because the effects of sedatives and anesthesia can last for a few hours after the surgery, making it unsafe to drive alone.

5) DIET:- Some things that you need to gather at your home before the surgery are soft foods, ice creams, ice packs, soft-bristle toothbrushes. These things will be immediately needed after the procedure. In the first 24 hours, you need to have a cold and soft diet.

6) CLOTHING:- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting with short sleeves or sleeves that can be easily rolled up above the elbows because during the process there is continuous monitoring of your blood pressure and all the vitals like pulse rate and all.
