How to prepare for your dental implant treatment
Look over the instructions provided below by leading principal dentist, Dr Philip McCauley.
When coming in for your appointment, it is recommended to wear clothing that is comfortable.
We may monitor your blood pressure, which will require a loose-fitting sleeve to be rolled up.
Please refrain from wearing make-up
Patients going under sedation will need a responsible adult to collect them from the surgery.
The driver does not have to wait during your appointment.
They can leave a phone number, which we will contact them on before your treatment is completed.
We recommend that you plan no social or business activities the day or evening of your surgery.
Whilst you will be able to return to work quite quickly, it is advised to take rest on the second day following your surgery.
Often, medications can be prescribed.
It is important to take these following the notes and directions of the bottle as well as advice from the prescribing doctor.
Medication is occasionally taken before and after surgery.
Patients already taking medication prescribed by a doctor beforehand for regulating blood pressure, for example, should take their recommended dosage at normal times, unless otherwise instructed.
It is important to discuss with your dentist the medications you are currently taking.
Avoid aspirin related drugs for seven days before your surgery. Any ibuprofen-type drugs should also not be used up to three days prior.
