While dental implants are the most effective solution to replace missing teeth, they aren’t right for everyone. Certain health conditions, such as diabetes, can potentially complicate your body’s ability to properly heal after dental implant placement. Diabetes doesn’t necessarily prevent you from getting dental implants, but you will need to discuss these health concerns with Dr. Bellisario during your initial consultation. After conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums, Dr. Bellisario will determine whether it is safe for you to move forward with your dental implant procedure.
