The implanting doctor first of all inquires about the patient's general state of health and his claims. An exact plaster impression and a panorama X-ray photograph are taken of the planned place. The required oral hygiene, the good state of health and the appropriate jawbone structure, where the implant has to be planted are essential for implanting teeth.

With the help of these the anatomical conditions can be appreciated, with the consideration of the available bone structure and patterns the best shape and size for the implant can be chosen. During the discussion the patient is informed about the results of the examinations, the suggestions, the timetable of the treatments to do, the possible risk factors and their prevention. The patient is also informed about the possibilities, how many implants he can wear, what he has to do before and after the operation. The final plan is drawn up together with the patient.

By following the doctor's directions and due to the careful planning and the excellent operative technique the risk of pushing out is minimal and can happen only extremely rarely.

Things to remember before operations

• Inform the doctor about every disease and medicine taken.
• Eat as usual before the operation, do not arrive with an empty stomach, unless the treatment happens with dazing or anaesthesia. In this case you get special instructions.
• Take an attendant with you (you had better not drive after the operation).
• Take your regularly taken medicines.

Things to remember after operations

• Do not drive a car for a couple of hours following the operation.
• Put cold compress outside on the operated surface to reduce the tumescence.
• Do not eat under the anaesthetic, in order to avoid injuries in the mouth.
• Do not consume coffee, tea, and alcoholic drinks, do not smoke and do not eat hot dishes for a day.
• Take the prescribed medicines.
• Take analgesic as needed.

Things to remember after finishing implantation

Take special care of oral hygiene, in order to avoid inflammation around the implant, because it endangers its wearing.
The dentist shows the correct teeth-cleaning technique after the implantation. The dentist checks it once a year, in order to secure its long and proper functioning.
