There will be a preliminary phase of treatment– before the surgery, you’ll be prescribed an antibacterial mouthwash and antibiotics to prevent any infection. If your dentist has decided to use local anesthesia, have a healthy meal in the morning before the surgery. In the case of IV sedation, you’ll be required to observe fasting after midnight before the surgery. The dental implant surgery is a multi-step process. The oral surgeon will numb the mouth completely before making an incision into your gum. The exposed jaw bone will then be drilled and the implant will be screwed in. The gums will be closed over with stitches. The implant will get perfectly attached to the bone and the gum will heal in a few months. Next, an impression will be taken for the mold. They’ll use this mold in a lab to prepare the crown of the tooth. Once the dentist is completely satisfied with the precision, alignment, and appearance of the crown, they will place the crown, and that’s it!

Yes we use a caries indicator during the prep of a tooth and a diagnodent to identify caries lesions.
