There are many things that can be done for the dental cavity, but only a Surgeon can help you with the things that really need to be looked at.
Are you considering a dental surgery?
It is important to note that if you have ANY medical issue or take ANY medication it is important that you let us know before we start ANY procedure. If you have Uncontrolled Diabetes, High blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart issues, osteoporosis, are taking medications such as blood thinners or bisphosphonates for example. All these instances and more require a letter from your Doctor indicating that you are stable and that a dental procedure can be done and any indications that your doctor may give you for your medications before and following the treatment.
If you have any of the above stated ailments or medications, it is possible that the Surgeon will ask for a medical clearance letter in order to proceed with the treatment.
