Dental Implant Pre-Operative Instructions

What to Know Before Your Dental Implant Surgery

Secure a Successful Surgery

How you prepare for your surgery, both mentally and physically, can have a big impact on the success of your procedure. If you require anesthesia for your surgery, there are several ways in which you must prepare so you remain safe during surgery. It’s normal to feel apprehensive or nervous, but rest assured, your surgical team at EasySmile Implant Studio has the qualifications and training to provide safe and comfortable treatment in Clearwater, FL. Following our pre-operative instructions can help you experience a better surgery and recovery.

Pre Operative Instructions

Food and Drink

Do not have anything to eat or drink (including water) for the 8 hours leading up to your appointment time. If your surgery is scheduled for the morning, avoid food and water after midnight. If you have an afternoon appointment, you can eat and drink lightly (toast, water, tea, or black coffee) in the morning. Do not drink alcohol for the 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Smoking

Refrain from smoking at least 48 hours before your appointment. Ideally, it will be most beneficial for your health and healing to minimize or stop smoking as soon as you can prior to your surgery. Tobacco and nicotine can burn oral tissues and restrict blood and oxygen flow. Healing slows and the risk for infection significantly increases.

Clothing and Accessories

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and short-sleeves and shoes with low heels (or no heels). We’ll need access to your arm during surgery and want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Do not wear jewelry, contacts, or any cosmetics (perfume, makeup, lipstick, nail polish, etc.).

Medication

For your safety during surgery, you must fully inform our team of any medications or supplements you take daily, including vitamins and herbal products, blood thinners, insulin, pain or depression medication, or any other substances used medically or recreationally. Certain medications are allowed the day of surgery, but others may need to be paused days and even weeks before. Patients with asthma should bring their inhalers to the appointment.

Physical Health

If you have a chest or head cold, sore throat, fever, stomach flu, or another illness, we may determine that rescheduling your appointment is necessary. Surgery is an invasive experience for your body and it’s critical for the success of your procedure and your recovery that you’re in the best possible health.

Assistance

You will need a friend or family member to drive you to and from your appointment and to remain in our office (or waiting outside in a vehicle) for the duration of your surgery. You will be unable to drive, operate machinery, or make decisions for yourself for the rest of the day.

Activity

Do not participate in any physical activity or exercise, drive a vehicle, or use machinery for the first 24 hours following your surgery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am VERY GRATEFUL  for Dr. Immmerman, Brian and the whole team at EasySmile! From the moment I walked in everyone was amazing! For someone who’s a nervous wreak with the dentist in general. I never felt so comfortable through the whole process with the extractions I had to have done. Recovery was actually even better! A very smooth process with barely any swelling and hardly no pain after having 3 teeth removed. Dr. Immmerman is AMAZING! No reason to be nervous here if you need any dental work done. Im so grateful and very happy with the whole team and beautiful office! Highly recommend! Thank you again!!! :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m 69 years old male and recently had dental implants done by Easy Smile Implant Studio. I have to say, this was one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was professional, caring, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. They explained every step clearly and treated me with genuine kindness and respect. The results have been excellent — my implants look natural, feel comfortable, and have truly improved my life and confidence. I can eat and smile again without any worry or discomfort. The follow-up care was also exceptional, showing that they stand behind their work and care about their patients’ satisfaction. I highly recommend EasySmile to anyone considering dental implants. They did a wonderful job, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Mattia Lucciola review: Wow, what an amazing experience!  The personnel from beginning to end were extraordinary, very knowledgeable and super kind. The clinic has the best set up and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The Doctors truly are the top of the line in dental implants; they are very detail oriented and made me feel that the whole process was going to be a total success. Which in reality they exceeded my expectations. I have received the best complements from friends and family, I can't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Easy Smile Dental. What a pleasure!
