Dental implant surgery involves a lot of procedures and is usually an outpatient surgery performed in stages, with healing time between the procedures. The time it takes to for the completion of the entire process could vary from patient to patient, however, in most cases, the entire process can take many months from start to finish. Hence, when you are opting for dental implant surgery, you should be ready to dedicate all the time it requires for a complete treatment of your dental conditions.

However, before you go for dental implant surgery, you should make sure if the surgery is right for you or not. For this, you need to go to a good dental clinic to diagnose your dental condition. A dentist will diagnose your dental condition to determine if you are eligible for dental implants or not. You may have to go through a comprehensive dental exam that includes dental X-rays and 3D images. Afterward, models of your teeth and jaw are made for your dental implant surgery. 

 

The doctor will also examine your medical history to determine if the dental implant surgery is suitable for you or not. You also have to tell the dentist about the medications or any kind of supplements you take. After the dentist looks into your medical history and the medications and supplements you take, they will suggest you avoid any such medication or supplement that could be harmful to the surgical procedure. 

 

After all, these are done, the dentist will also prepare a treatment plan for you taking your dental condition and medical history into account so that you could prepare for the dental implant surgery properly.
