PROLIA AND DENTAL

Has anyone currently onProlia had implants done? Just asking for possible future needs.

To help others, Both my husband and I have been on Prolia for about five or six years with no problems at all! We get them every six months, no aches, etc.

Hi i have'nt had implants but i did have some quite invasive dental surgery done 9 months ago. I had it done in hospital by an oral surgeon. I have been on Prolia 4 years. I had no problems and it healed well. However i was warned by the surgeon of the possible complications.

I was thinking of dental implants too and im on Prolia. I stupidly when I was at a dental hospital asked if they could do anything with two teeth that had discoloured to the side of my front teeth. I thought I was coming out with beautiful set of teeth but no they were far too big. Well then then one broke off and then another broke. I still had the stumps but the dentist said she couldn’t do anything with it so i had to have them out. I had a plate made and I hate it. One of the teeth is even bigger. So I thought of going down the road of implants. Could you let me know how you get on if you have it done.

I’m on AA but had an implant some 18 years ago and one of the things that I was warned about was that I would require monitoring for bone loss around the implant, regardless. That was in the good old days before any meds, so I’m screened regularly and seeing hygienist x4 yearly to prevent infection and gum receding which would affect bone loss. GP and dentist said it’s really important to have dental work done prior to these drugs, if possible.

Depending on your age, your bones shouldn’t shrink (if you’re among the over 60s).Even so in my own experience it takes anything up to 3 or 4 years before a dxa shows any changes. Just stay in contact with your dentist. Don’t go abroad for ‘cheapie’ implants :-)

My dentist did not want to do implants at all because I was on Prolia, but he sent me to a specialist. The specialist discussed it with my other doctors and had me sign a release. The concern was that this work could break my jaw. However I got the implants and they are ok and I'm satisfied with them. But in general, except for routine cleaning, my dentist prefers I see the specialist because of the the Prolia situation.

I may be starting on Prolia as well and have various bridges and crowns. Im a little apprehensive about going on it due to a possible and probable dental issue.
