Many people with well-controlled diabetes are excellent candidates for dental implants. The key is stable blood sugar and good overall health. Uncontrolled diabetes can slow healing and increase infection risk—so we work with you and your physician to optimize your readiness.
Blood Sugar and Healing
High blood sugar impairs circulation and immune function, which can delay osseointegration. Aim for HbA1c under 7% (or as your doctor advises) before implant surgery. Good control improves success rates significantly.
Pre- and Post-Op Care
We may adjust antibiotics or healing protocols based on your diabetes management. Follow your medication schedule, eat well, and keep blood sugar stable before and after the procedure. We'll give you specific instructions for your case.
Success Rates
With proper control and care, diabetic patients often achieve the same high success rates as non-diabetic patients. Don't assume implants aren't for you—let's evaluate your individual situation.
