You would love to replace a troubled tooth with a dental implant. But you have one nagging concern: you also have diabetes. Could that keep you from getting an implant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer, unfortunately, is yes, it might: the effect diabetes can have on the body could affect an implant’s success and longevity. The key word, though, is might<\/em>\u2014it’s not inevitable you’ll encounter these obstacles with your implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases that interfere with the normal levels of blood glucose, a natural sugar that is the energy source for the body’s cells. Normally, the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin<\/em> as needed to regulate glucose in the bloodstream. A diabetic, though either can’t produce insulin or not enough, or the body doesn’t respond to the insulin that is produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while the condition can often be managed through diet, exercise, medication or supplemental insulin, there can still be complications like slow wound healing. High glucose can damage blood vessels, causing them to deliver less nutrients and antibodies to various parts of the body like the eyes, fingers and toes, or the kidneys. It can also affect the gums and their ability to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another possible complication from diabetes is with the body’s inflammatory response. This is triggered whenever tissues in the body are diseased or injured, sealing them off from damaging the rest of the body. The response, however, can become chronic in diabetics, which could damage otherwise healthy tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these complications can disrupt the process for getting an implant. Like other surgical procedures, implantation disrupts the gum tissues. They will need to heal; likewise, the implant itself must integrate fully with the bone in which it’s inserted. Both healing and bone integration might be impeded by slow wound healing and chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, it might<\/em>. In reality, as a number of studies comparing implant outcomes between diabetics and non-diabetics has shown, there is little difference in the success rate, provided the diabetes is under control. Diabetics with well-managed glucose can have success rates above 95%, well within the normal range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An implant restoration is a decision you should make with your dentist. But if you’re doing a good job managing your diabetes, your chances of a successful outcome are good.
