Hypertension
Implant surgery is possible up to a systolic pressure of 140–179 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 109 mmHg. If the systolic pressure is 180 mmHg or higher or the diastolic pressure is 110 mmHg or higher, surgery is possible after diagnosis and treatment by an internal medicine physician. Among the medications taken, blood-thinning anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin, heparin, coumarin, and warfarin must be discontinued starting 5 days before the procedure, and the dosing method must be adjusted through sufficient consultation before surgery.

Diabetes
A healthy person's blood sugar is below 100 mg/dl when fasting, but diabetic patients are at 126 mg/dl or higher when fasting, and about 200 mg/dl two hours after a meal. As long as blood sugar can be controlled with medication, etc., and there are no severe accompanying complications, implant surgery is possible.

Osteoporosis
If you are taking bisphosphonate-class medications, you must be sure to have a consultation before implant surgery. In the case of osteoporosis patients, the bone density of the jawbone that supports the implant may be low, so we supplement it using artificial bone and then proceed with the implant surgery.

Heart Disease
If you have had myocardial infarction surgery, implant surgery is possible only after about 6 months have passed. If implant surgery is performed after myocardial infarction surgery, antibiotics must be taken at least 1 hour before the procedure, and when taking anticoagulant-class medications, in some cases they must be discontinued 5 days before the procedure.
