Maggok Dental _ 3. Medication Before Implant Surgery: What to Take, What to Stop, and the Criteria You Must Check

Hello.

To keep you from worrying more than necessary,

Maggok Dental, Seoul Dia Dental, is here to organize and share only the information you need right now.

In Part 2,

we summarized the key points on what to check before an implant, depending on your systemic condition.

If you missed it, reading that post first will make today’s content much easier to follow—so you can think, “Oh, that’s why medication comes up.”

(Just one review really does help.^^)

When discussing implants,

this question comes up a lot.

“Do I need to stop this medicine?”

“I didn’t take it today because I was coming to the dentist…”

(That’s when we get a little tense.)

So today,

we’ll go over medication before implants and whether it should be stopped,

focusing on the things we most often explain in the consultation room,

one by one.

What should you do about medication before an implant?

Let’s start with the conclusion.

You should not decide on your own to stop medication.

The type of medication is different,

the reason for taking it is different,

and the scope of the implant treatment is different too.

So the 기준 is always “individualized.”

1. Medication information is absolutely necessary

An implant treatment

is a procedure that directly involves the gum bone.

Bleeding, recovery, and inflammation management are all connected.

So,

“It's just a medicine I’ve been taking for a long time”

“I think it’s just a supplement”

…actually, those explanations are not very helpful.

If you tell us everything you are taking,

we can make the treatment plan safer.

2. Medicines you especially need to tell us about

During consultation, we always double-check these medications.

• Medicines that affect bleeding

• Blood-related medications

• Osteoporosis medications

• Immune-related medications

• Long-term steroid use

These medications

may be 기준 for changing the timing or method of the implant.

3. Simply stopping them on your own can be more dangerous

Sometimes this happens.

“I came to the dentist,

so I didn’t take my medicine today.”

We understand the intention.

But this is not always the best choice.

For example,

if you suddenly stop a blood-related medication,

other problems can arise,

and if you stop osteoporosis medication on your own,

your bone health may actually get worse.

So the rule is simple.

The decision about whether to stop medication is made by the dental clinic first.

If needed, we coordinate with internal medicine or orthopedics as well.

4. It’s okay if you can’t remember the medication name

“The name is too hard to remember…”

“I’ve been taking it for years, so I don’t remember…”

That’s normal.

That’s why medicine bags exist,

and that’s why consultations exist.

Implant treatment

is not a treatment that becomes easier by rushing,

but a treatment that becomes easier when you are prepared.

So a medicine bag, a medication list, a photo—anything is fine.

Just bring what you have.

We’ll organize the rest.

To summarize today’s post at a glance:

1. Please make sure to share your medication information

2. The dental clinic will decide whether to stop the medication

3. Stopping it on your own can actually be dangerous

4. If you can’t remember, just bringing it with you is enough

If you know just this much before coming in,

your implant consultation will go much more smoothly,

and the surgery can proceed calmly and with greater stability.

Rather than recommending implants first,

we choose to sort out what the safest option is

based on your current condition.

“Is it okay to take this medicine?”

“Can I have surgery now?”

“Would it be better to wait a little?”

You can ask these questions without feeling burdened.

That’s where consultations begin, after all.^^

In Part 4,

we’ll cover the things you absolutely should not do

on the day before and the day of implant surgery—

alcohol, meals, smoking, sleep, and more—

focusing only on the points we really emphasize in the consultation room.

Thank you for reading today’s post.
