San Francisco, CA – 06/03/2025 – If you have an upcoming surgery, an undetected dental infection could postpone or even jeopardize your procedure. A dental clearance in San Francisco is a critical, time-sensitive step to confirm your mouth is free from infections or complications that might interfere with your surgery. At Itani Dental, we provide dental clearance appointments so patients can proceed safely and on schedule with their medical treatments.
Why Dental Clearance Matters Before Surgery
A dental clearance is a comprehensive oral exam required before major surgeries such as joint replacements, heart surgery, organ transplants, or cancer treatments. Untreated dental infections can lead to bacteremia, delayed healing, or surgical complications. At Itani Dental, our team conducts thorough evaluations to identify and treat urgent issues, preventing costly delays and safeguarding overall health.
Who Needs a Dental Clearance?
Patients may require clearance if they are:
- Scheduled for orthopedic, cardiac, or spinal surgery
- Beginning chemotherapy or radiation
- Preparing for an organ or tissue transplant
- Starting treatment with bisphosphonates or immunosuppressants
We collaborate directly with medical providers to ensure all clearance requirements are met and documentation is submitted promptly.
What to Expect During Your Dental Clearance Visit
Itani Dental prioritizes urgent cases, aiming to complete clearances in 1–2 visits, including:
- Full oral exam (checking for decay, abscesses, gum disease)
- Digital X-rays (detecting hidden infections or bone loss)
- Gum health screening & deep cleaning (if needed)
- Immediate treatment planning for cavities, infections, or extractions
- Clearance documentation sent directly to your medical team
