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.

Question

I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?
