Some patients must undergo psycho-emotional counselling prior to dental implantation procedure. Due to their inherent anxiousness, people may excessively worry about their health.
Alternatively, if you have already received subpar dental care or prosthesis. If dental implants were inserted incorrectly, there could have been difficulties or rejections. By using cutting-edge technology, virtual modelling, treating patients in accordance with worldwide standards, and offering extended warranties, dentistry almost eliminates the possibility of bad surgery outcomes.
However, the topic at hand today is emotional and psychological preparedness.

Why is a positive outlook crucial for the success of surgery?
Strong worry during the period of preparation for dental implant surgery combined with no assistance (medical or independent) even causes physical injury to the body. The immune system deteriorates, the pulse quickens, blood pressure rises, breathing becomes challenging, hands, head, or jaw shaking may occur, and confusion may manifest.
All of this could result in the following issues:
- Significant oral tissue injury caused by dental implant installation attempts;
- The possibility that the surgery will be stopped because of a rapid decline in health indices,
- Implant placement by the dentist will be impossible (at high pressure, "shaking"),
- Prolonged bleeding following surgery: Inflammation may start, and significant edema may develop,
- Poor engraftment or rejection of dental implants: because it was simply impossible for the dentist to install them correctly (for instance, because the patient's jaw was trembling), or because the patient neglected to practise good oral hygiene or take the dentist's suggested drugs.
How to achieve psychological and emotional balance?
The following activities can be done before the procedure, ideally 1-3 weeks before implants are placed, to prepare for dental surgery:
- Consultation with an implant dentist, or even several in various clinics (so you can choose the one you like): the doctor will perform tomography of the jaw at the initial examination and choose a few appropriate surgery options, explain what additional procedures may be necessary, how the operation itself will take place, how it will hurt for a long time, what kind of anaesthesia can be used, etc.
- Check out reviews left by other patients regarding the facility and its medical staff. You may find this information on the clinic's website, on popular discussion boards, dental portals, etc.
- Being prescribed and utilising sedatives or methods to normalise blood pressure (by a neurologist, psychiatrist, psychoneurologist, or therapist),
- Speaking with a psychologist before the procedure is necessary to comprehend the root reasons for extreme fear and receive coping mechanisms,
- More comprehensible information about dental implants procedure: Companies who prioritise the excellent quality of their products publish research papers and provide detailed information about their products on their official websites.
