Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like to have implants placed because I am missing quite a few teeth, but I have heard that antibiotics must be taken before/around the procedure. I myself have not taken antibiotics or other tablets for several years (I eat only natural, unprocessed food and use natural cosmetics), so I would like to know whether a procedure involving the placement of approximately 4–6 implants can be performed without taking antibiotics. Thank you, Barbara.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Antibiotics are prescribed prophylactically, that is, to prevent a possible infection of the operative field, which could mean loss of the implant. The operation can also be performed without antibiotics or using only local antibiotics.
Have a nice day!
