Surgeons control technique; biology controls healing. Bone regeneration after an extraction, graft, or implant runs on raw materials the body either has in stock or lacks, and vitamin D3 sits at the top of that inventory. Swiss Biohealth in Kreuzlingen made pre-surgical vitamin D checks a fixture of its protocol, and Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD brought the practice home with him.

Surgeons control technique; biology controls healing.

Why vitamin D3 gets checked before implant surgery

Vitamin D drives calcium absorption and bone metabolism, the exact machinery an implant site calls on for months after placement. Reading your level before surgery costs little; discovering a shortfall after an implant struggles costs a great deal. At Natural Smiles, vitamin D testing is available ahead of surgical work, and results shape both timing and support.

Micronutrient support built per patient

Micronutrients beyond D3

SDS publishes a patient program called Baseline and Boost, pairing a daily micronutrient foundation with a boosted protocol around procedures. The logic travels well: healing tissue asks for more than usual, so the weeks around surgery deserve deliberate nutrition rather than whatever the week happens to serve. Our nutritional support service builds that plan per patient, and IV vitamin C with glutathione can carry support past what digestion delivers.

What preparation looks like at our office

A surgical case here starts with the CBCT scan and full health history, adds vitamin D reading where indicated, and sets nutrition and IV support around the procedure date. Ozone disinfection and LPRF from your own blood support the site itself on the day. None of it replaces your physician’s care; all of it coordinates with it.

Pre-surgical preparation, at a glance

  • CBCT scan and full health history on day one
  • Vitamin D reading where the case indicates it
  • Nutrition and IV support timed around the procedure date
  • Ozone disinfection and LPRF from your own blood on the day
