What tests do I need to get done before having my teeth pulled for implant surgery? I'm a bit nervous about the process and want to make sure everything's covered before we start. Are there specific blood tests or scans required to check if I'm a good candidate for implants?

CBC, blood sugar, clotting profile, and a dental CBCT scan are usually required before implant surgery.

View allMy wisdom tooth is growing sideways under the gums and pushing against my other teeth. The dentist recommended surgery for removal, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help avoid surgery since the tooth isn't even visible. Are there any homeo treatments that might work for this?
While some may explore homeopathic options, for an impacted wisdom tooth causing issues like misalignment and pressure on other teeth, surgery is generally recommended as the most effective solution. Homeopathic treatments haven't been proven to be a reliable alternative for such dental problems.

What exactly happens during guided dental implant surgery I'm getting it done soon and feeling pretty nervous Also what side effects should I expect and any important precautions for the first few days after the procedure
Guided implant surgery uses advanced technology to ensure accurate implant placement, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. It involves a 3D model of your jawbone and implant placement plan, followed by surgery using a guide that helps the dentist insert the implant with precision. Expect some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor pain, but these typically resolve within a few days.

While impacted teeth can cause pain and complications, surgery (extraction) isn't always the first or only treatment option. A CBCT scan helps the dentist plan the best approach, but other options like observation or tooth relocation might be considered depending on the specific situation and the severity of the impaction
