Can Diabetics Get Dental Implants?

Diabetes is a condition that can affect the body’s healing processes and make certain medical procedures more complex. Therefore, one of the common questions is whether individuals with diabetes can undergo dental implant treatment.

Diabetes and Dental Implants

Diabetes, especially when not well-controlled, can reduce the body's resistance to infection and slow down healing. However, this does not mean that diabetics cannot receive dental implants. Individuals with well-controlled blood sugar levels can successfully undergo implant treatment with the necessary precautions.

Important Considerations

• Blood Sugar Control: It is essential for blood sugar levels to be controlled both before and after implant treatment. Diabetics may experience a longer recovery time after surgery, but following medical advice can ensure a healthy healing process.

• Regular Monitoring: Staying in regular contact with both your dentist and physician throughout the treatment process is important for managing both blood sugar levels and the healing of the implant.
