What effect does diabetes have on implants?

Diabetic dental implants
What is the effect of diabetes on dental implants? Diabetes mellitus can significantly affect the success of dental implants, as diabetes can impair wound healing and increase the risk of infection. High blood sugar levels can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Diabetes weakens the immune system and makes the body more susceptible to bacterial infections that can affect the implants. Diabetics have an increased risk of periodontitis, an inflammation of the gums that can also damage the bone structure around the teeth. This can affect the stability of the implants.

I am diabetic can i get dental implants?

Yes, in principle diabetics can also get dental implants. However, some precautions and good cooperation

between the dentist and diabetologist are necessary. In order for the procedure to be successful and to avoid complications, some important factors must be taken into account.

Bone grafting: necessary?

Diabetes dental implants

Bone grafting may also be required for this implantation procedure. The extent of the existing bone loss is important here. The surgeon decides individually whether bone reconstruction should be carried out or not.

Requirements for dental implants for diabetics

Good blood sugar control: Stable blood sugar control is the key to a successful implantation. Advantages: Well-controlled blood sugar supports the healing process and reduces the risk of complications.
A stable blood sugar level strengthens the immune system, protects against infections and increases the chances of success and the longevity of dental implants. Regular oral hygiene: Thorough oral hygiene is essential to minimise the risk of infection.
Although diabetes poses a challenge to the success of dental implants, it is not an absolute obstacle. With good blood sugar control, careful oral hygiene and close cooperation between dentist and diabetologist, diabetics can also benefit from the advantages of dental implants.

Benefits of dental implants for diabetics

Improved quality of life: Dental implants enable you to chew firmly and have a natural smile. Preservation of the jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone and thus prevent it from breaking down. Durability: With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Who is not suitable for dental implants?

Cases where the likelihood of successful implantation is minimal or limited include:

  • People with certain diseases:
  • Uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiovascular diseases, weakened immune system (for example during cancer treatment), blood clotting disorders, bone metabolism disorders
  • Unhealthy lifestyle: smokers, drug addicts
  • People with poor oral hygiene
