Determined to get your smile back with a dental implant<\/strong>? Excellent! It’s one of the safest and most effective solutions to replace a missing tooth<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

However, before you get to the office for the procedure, you need to go through a few essential steps – and one of the most important is a set of medical tests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

At INO Dental<\/strong>, we want every patient to have the best dental implant<\/strong>, with a fast healing and without complications.<\/p>\n\n

For that, it’s important to make sure your body is ready for the intervention.<\/p>\n\n

Is it really necessary to have tests before oral rehabilitation with implants?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, it’s important.<\/strong> Although it may seem like an extra step, the tests are a guarantee that everything will be safe.<\/p>\n\n

Think of these tests as a safety check-up for your body.<\/strong> We want to make sure that there are no hidden infections, untreated conditions or other problems that could affect the integration of the implant into the bone.<\/p>\n\n

Statistically speaking, over 90% of dental implant failures had an undiagnosed medical cause before the procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n

When are tests absolutely necessary?<\/h2>\n\n

While not all patients need an extensive set of tests, there are certain situations where these investigations are mandatory<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n

1. Do you have known allergies or are you sensitive to certain medications?<\/h3>\n\n

If you’ve had allergic reactions in the past – either to anesthetics, antibiotics<\/strong><\/a> or even metals – it’s important to tell your doctor. In some cases, testing for allergic markers or hidden inflammation is recommended. <\/p>\n\n

2. Do you take blood thinning medication?<\/h3>\n\n

People who take anticoagulants (such as aspirin or heart treatments) should have a coagulogram<\/strong> to check that their blood is clotting normally.<\/p>\n\n

3. Do you suffer from diabetes?<\/h3>\n\n

If you have diabetes, it’s essential to check your blood glucose levels<\/strong>, as poor blood glucose control can slow healing or even prevent the implant from integrating.<\/p>\n\n

4. Are you taking bisphosphonates?<\/h3>\n\n

These drugs, often used for osteoporosis, can affect bone regeneration<\/strong>, making it crucial to assess your general condition before implantation.<\/p>\n\n

5. Do you have cardiovascular disease?<\/h3>\n\n

If you have heart problems, we make sure the procedure is cardiovascular safe<\/strong>, working with your cardiologist if necessary.<\/p>\n\n
