Implants When I Have Diabetes?
Curtis asks:
I had three dental implants in upper gum. They were to support a bridge (no teeth attached to them). They became loose and my dentist said it was my fault as I have diabetes. My regular blood-sugar levels have been monitored by my GP doctor for nine years with no apparent problems. What should I do? Can I not get implants if I have diabetes?

re: Yes, Not a Contraindication
If your diabetes is controlled, you can still get dental implants. It is not a contraindication. The risk of dental implant failure with diabetics, while slightly higher than those without diabetes, is not as high as for non-diabetic patients who do not comply with instructions. However, it is vital to consult with your physician during implant treatment, if you are diabetic. Constant monitoring is always important to ensure the diabetes is controlled.
