Diabetes control, smoking, and related health factors often come up in implant candidacy talks.
Why these topics matter at consult
Blood-sugar control, tobacco use, and similar habits can influence healing and maintenance conversations. Imaging plus your medical history decide next steps—not a generic article. Bring an accurate meds list and any recent lab context your physician shared. Soft-food planning still helps if surgery is on the horizon.
Questions to bring (education)
- How do my diabetes / smoking history change staging or timing for me?
- What medical clearance or labs might be requested before surgery?
- Soft-food and hygiene expectations if healing needs extra support?
- Who coordinates with my physician if clearance is needed?
- What signs after placement mean I should call sooner?
- After-hours contact on my discharge sheet?
Write answers down. Rank goals so the options talk stays concrete. Practice listing concerns out loud before the visit so nothing gets skipped.
