Can I still get dental implants if I am on bisphosphonate therapy?

If your dental implants have successfully osseointegrated (fused with the bone) and you have been receiving regular maintenance after completion of the prosthetic part of the implant treatment (placement of the implant-supported crowns or bridge), then there is no need to do anything special. Tissue damage/death due to radiation The main concern with radiation treatment in the head and neck region is potential damage to structures (bone, salivary glands, nerves, blood vessels) in the radiation field.

This is actually quite controversial. I think what you’re asking is if someone has osteoporosis and is taking the drug -- oral bisphosphonates are the drugs that actually prevent the bone from turning over. If you've been taking oral bisphosphonates for more than 5 years - I wouldn’t say it’s an absolute contraindication. There are some studies that actually show that if you stop it for a certain amount of time, the blood supply can actually return. But the thing is that no one actually knows, and if you look at the research no one actually knows how well it stops it.
