Over time, dental gaps can cause complications like crooked teeth or even jawbone loss \u2013 both of which are best to avoid. As a highly advanced treatment with many unique benefits, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cranbrookdentalcare.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> are certainly an excellent solution. But is it safe to get them if you\u2019re pregnant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not exactly. Your implant team in Brooklyn may be able to help you receive them later, though, so keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants and Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason why dentists typically recommend waiting until after pregnancy to start a dental implant treatment is that it\u2019s a surgical procedure. You\u2019ll likely need some type of anesthesia or sedation and could possibly need antibiotics or other similar medications. Many of these aren\u2019t safe for pregnant individuals or their babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since hormones tend to become unbalanced during this time, pregnant individuals are also at an increased risk of infection and severe stress. Once your baby is born, it\u2019ll be much easier for you to support successful dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Dentist Might Be Able to Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, your dentist may be able to help you manage any symptoms related to tooth loss and maintain your oral health until it\u2019s safe for you to receive dental implants. They might also provide you with a temporary tooth replacement, such as a short-term partial denture, that\u2019s not as taxing on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, at the end of the day, your dentist\u2019s priority is to make sure you\u2019re happy and healthy. If you\u2019re experiencing oral pain or are having difficulties speaking and chewing because of missing teeth, they\u2019ll work closely with your doctors to create a safe and effective treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might not be advisable to get dental implants while you\u2019re pregnant, but your dental team is dedicated to you and your smile. Don\u2019t hesitate to talk to your dentist about any concerning oral symptoms or your dental needs! They\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re well cared for and you and your baby\u2019s health won\u2019t be jeopardized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cranbrookdentalcare.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">Dr. David George Banda<\/a> has a wealth of experience with dental implant treatments and is a proud member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
