What Thousand Oaks Patients Should Know About Implant Health
Two things can affect how well your implant heals and lasts: the medications you take and the risk of peri-implantitis. Knowing these factors helps us protect your investment and your smile.
8 Key Points to Remember:
- Bisphosphonates (osteoporosis drugs) may slow bone healing around implants
- Immunosuppressants can delay recovery after surgery
- SSRI antidepressants may affect bone density over time
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (acid reflux drugs) can impact calcium levels
- Blood thinners increase bleeding risk during procedures
- Steroids may slow tissue healing
- Peri-implantitis is an infection that causes bone loss around implants
- Regular cleanings and good home care prevent peri-implantitis
“Your medication history matters. Our team reviews it carefully to reduce risks and help your implant succeed.”
