Living with diabetes doesn’t mean you can’t have dental implants — it means your care should be personalized.
This Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re highlighting an encouraging truth supported by studies from ScienceDirect, Cureus, and PubMed:
👉 When blood sugar is well controlled (often with an HbA1c below 8%), dental implant success rates are nearly the same as in people without diabetes.
However, when diabetes is poorly managed, the risks of complications like peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant) and bone loss increase.
The key is partnership — between you, your medical team, and your dental provider. At Pinhole Dentist Milpitas, Dr. Rocelle Maliksi takes a whole-health approach to implant care, combining advanced techniques with compassion and attention to your overall well-being.
✨ With the right preparation, maintenance, and follow-up, your smile can thrive — beautifully and safely.
