You might also have heard that taking care of your teeth and gums can benefit your heart. So, where do dental implants fit into the picture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship between oral and cardiovascular health is complex, but there are a few important connections worth understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can People With Heart Disease Get Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, having heart disease does not automatically rule out dental implants. However, your dentist needs to know about your medical history before treatment begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure, so your dentist may want to consult with your cardiologist or other medical provider depending on your condition. They may consider factors such as the type of heart condition you have, medications you&#8217;re taking, and how well your condition is controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some medications can also affect dental treatment. For example, certain people with cardiovascular conditions take blood-thinning medications, which can increase bleeding during or after oral surgery. Never stop or change a prescribed medication on your own. Instead, your dental and medical providers can work together to determine the safest approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Antibiotics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have heard that people with certain heart conditions need antibiotics before dental procedures. This is true for some patients, but preventive antibiotics aren&#8217;t recommended for everyone with heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American Heart Association recommends antibiotic prophylaxis before certain dental procedures for specific patients at increased risk of infective endocarditis, a serious infection involving the heart&#8217;s inner lining or valves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentist and physician can determine whether this applies to you based on your medical history. If you have a heart condition, make sure both your dental and medical providers have an up-to-date list of your diagnoses and medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Dental Implants Improve Heart Health?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s where it&#8217;s important to separate association from cause and effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good oral health is associated with better overall health, and gum disease has been linked to several systemic health conditions, including cardiovascular disease. Chronic inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease may contribute to inflammation throughout the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there isn&#8217;t enough evidence to say that getting a dental implant directly improves heart health or prevents heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What dental implants can do is replace missing teeth and help restore your ability to chew and maintain a functional smile. Replacing missing teeth may also make it easier for some people to eat a varied, nutritious diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bigger picture is that maintaining healthy teeth and gums is an important part of taking care of your overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Do Before Getting Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have heart disease and are considering dental implants, start with a thorough consultation. Tell your dentist about your heart condition, medications, previous procedures, and any other relevant medical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentist can evaluate your oral health and determine whether you&#8217;re a candidate for implants. If necessary, they can also communicate with your cardiologist to coordinate care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also important to address active gum disease or other oral infections before implant placement. Healthy gums and adequate bone support are important factors in successful implant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental and Heart Health Work Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants aren&#8217;t a treatment for heart disease, and having a cardiovascular condition doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you can&#8217;t receive them. The safest approach is individualized care that considers both your oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re missing teeth and have concerns about how your heart condition could affect implant treatment, talk with your dentist and medical provider. With proper planning and communication, you may have several options for restoring your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking care of your mouth is one more way to support your overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six Summits Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care with a focus on helping patients maintain healthy, functional smiles.
