It’s possible to have dental implants if you’re overweight, but there are additional risks and factors to consider. Being significantly overweight can make implant surgery more difficult and increase the chances of complications during and after surgery. The dentist will evaluate whether you have sufficient bone density in the jaw to support implants.
Ongoing health issues related to obesity, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, may also interfere with healing. Losing some weight before implant surgery is advisable to reduce risks. Discuss your options thoroughly with your dentist.
