I worked for an oral surgeon and have dental implants. Ask your surgeon to send over a medical clearance to your oncologist. Ask about any medications the oral surgeon may want to prescribe durning the process. I have had no troubles with my implants due to my CLL. I highly recommend them. Always follow all instructions from the oral surgeon and make sure that the two doctors communicate. Best of luck..your gonna love those implants.

I have notice this year when I injured my foot and then months later my lower leg near my knee both areas swelled like a huge bruise? My wife thought my foot was broken and my foot became black & blue from a strange bruising. I injured my lower leg and my calf became black & blue? What I am trying to say is that my body over reacted to damage which should have not happened. If you do your "surgery" you may see huge swelling and bruising for a month or longer? I hope other people will come forward with their stories about strange bruising.

It's crucial to discuss any dental procedures, including implants, with your oncologist before proceeding. Since CMML affects your blood cells and immune system function, your doctor needs to evaluate your current blood counts and overall health status to determine if it's safe to undergo dental implant surgery.

It's crucial to discuss any dental procedures, including implants, with your oncologist before proceeding. Since CMML affects your blood cells and immune system function, your doctor needs to evaluate your current blood counts and overall health status to determine if it's safe to undergo dental implant surgery. Your oncologist will need to review your current treatment plan, including any chemotherapy medications you may be taking, as these can affect healing and infection risk. They may also need to coordinate with your dentist to ensure proper timing of the procedure in relation to your leukemia treatments. While dental implants might be possible, your healthcare team needs to carefully evaluate your specific situation, considering factors like your age, overall health status, and how well your CMML is being managed. Please schedule an appointment with your oncologist to discuss this important decision.
