Before Treatment

1. Stop Smoking: You must stop smoking weeks before the surgery for it to succeed.
2. Scans: Get a CBCT (3D Scan) done as requested by the surgeon.
3. Health Check: Ensure your diabetes (HbA1c) is well under control.
4. Medications: Start any pre-surgical antibiotics if prescribed by the dentist.
5. Breakfast: Eat a good meal before coming for the procedure.

After Care

1. No Touching: Do not touch the surgical site with your tongue or fingers.
2. Soft Diet: Eat only soft foods (porridge, mashed potatoes) for the first 3-5 days.
3. Hygiene: Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours.
4. Swelling: Use an ice pack on the cheek (10 mins on, 10 mins off) to reduce swelling.
5. Follow-up: Do not miss the suture (stitch) removal appointment after 7-10 days.
