Everything I had read said there was only a 1% chance of having a problem with dental work and Prolia. My Periodondist said no problem and Endocrinologist said to wait at least six months to be on safe side. Had an extraction several months ago and no problem and just had an extraction and two implants after waiting six months and no problem. Have been on Prolia four years now.

Did you wait to get your dental work until nearing the six month time to get next Prolia but defer that injection for how long while getting dental work completed?

I have read of others who have successfully done implants by temporarily deferring Prolia and the resuming after dental done.

So many people are afraid of Prolia because of possible extractions, etc. I have been on Prolia and so far not needed dental work so anxious to hear of others who were successful. A dental surgeon did implant work at the fourth month after last injection and patient resumed Prolia as usual.

My Endocrinologist felt it would be safer to wait until 6 months after last injection since benefit declines each month. Had the dental work done November and will not be getting next injection until February just for the fact the timing works better for me. My Periodontist didn't think it was necessary but I erred to be on the safe side.

Not what you're looking for?
