Can you eat or drink before a dental implant?

I will get a dental implant tomorrow. Can you eat or drink before a dental implant?

Depends, if you're getting put to sleep to install, you can't eat for 10 to 12 hours prior to surgery. If just a local anesthetic, eat a light meal several hours before.
If you are getting your dental implant done with IV sedation, do not drink or eat at least 6 hours prior to tooth implant surgery! If your are getting dental implants under local anesthetic, then you can eat or drink prior to your appointment.

Yes, you can! Your dentist/surgeon will let you know all of the pre-op instructions before the visit. Most likely, you will not need any sedation for the implant procedure, so you do not need to fast before the surgery. Thanks!
Yes.
