You probably feel excited if you\u2019re about to have dental implant surgery. After all, the treatment will restore your smile\u2019s looks and function! However, you might be feeling a bit nervous about the procedure too. Given your investment, you want to ensure your new implants<\/a> are successful and long-lasting. Well, your Lewisville dentist is here to help make that happen. Read on to learn four things you can do to prepare for your implant surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 – Follow Pre-Op Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the most obvious thing to do is follow your dentist\u2019s pre-op instructions. Listening to their guidance is essential for smooth implant treatment. That way, you\u2019ll be safe during the procedure and won\u2019t suffer any major side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may, for example, be instructed to fast before treatment. If your surgery involves IV sedation, holding off on food will improve the sedatives\u2019 effect. In particular, you would want to avoid eating anything after midnight the previous evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019d also be important to take any dentist-prescribed antibiotics. Some surgeries can release bacteria into your bloodstream, so this medicine would reduce your risk of post-treatment infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 – Make Travel Arrangements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be safe, you should also have someone \u2013 preferably a friend or family member \u2013 drive you home after surgery. You\u2019ll probably be sedated during implant placement, meaning you\u2019ll feel sleepy and disoriented for a few hours afterward. As a result, you won\u2019t be in a good position to drive a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan ahead by bringing your driver to your appointment. That way, you\u2019ll be ready to go after you\u2019re released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 – Ask Any Questions You Have<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have any treatment questions, discuss them with your dentist before your appointment. Knowing what\u2019ll take place during your surgery will help with your preparation. Addressing your concerns will also reduce your dental anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This discussion will also let you know if everyone is on the same page. It\u2019s best to clear up any misunderstandings before your implants are placed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 \u2013 Set Aside Time to Heal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During recovery, you may need to take time off from work. Depending on your post-treatment soreness, it\u2019d be hard to focus on the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019d be a good idea to have help around the house for a few days too. Consider asking friends or family for support with childcare, family meals, and similar tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dental implant surgery will succeed if you follow the tips above. From there, it\u2019s just a matter of anticipating your newly-restored smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
