It is recommended that you undergo a professional dental cleaning in the days or weeks leading up to the procedure.

Healthy gums with minimal inflammation and a low oral bacterial load promote faster, more stable healing without complications.

In the days leading up to the procedure, it is also recommended to use a 0.2% undiluted chlorhexidine mouthwash for 30 seconds, 2–3 times a day, starting about 5 days before the procedure. This helps improve tissue quality and reduce the risk of infection.

Don't come on an empty stomach. It's important to eat a regular meal before the procedure, without overeating.

A well-nourished body is better able to cope with the surgical procedure and the immediate postoperative period, contributing to greater comfort and a more effective biological response.

Getting a good night's sleep in the nights leading up to the procedure is essential. Arriving well-rested improves your comfort during the procedure and promotes more effective healing.
