Dr. Roy Oyangen understands dry mouth, gum disease, delayed healing and other health issues are all special concerns for our patients with diabetes. But what are your options when infection has weakened teeth beyond repair? In many cases, Dr. Oyangen recommends dental implants as permanent replacements for damaged teeth. Recent studies of dental implants with diabetic patients have shown success rates of higher than 90 percent. If you have diabetes and have lost one or more teeth (and your diabetes is under control), you may consider implants. However, if your blood sugar is not controlled, Dr. Oyangen recommends putting off any non-emergency dental care – including implants, dentures and bridgework – until you’ve worked with your primary care physician to control it. Dr. Oyangen has been trained to place and restore numerous systems especially Nobel Biocare and Branemark (the best known worldwide).
Otherwise, feel free to give us a call at 518-831-9677 and our staff will try to answer any diabetes-related question we can.
