Radiation and dental implants
Most likely you can still have dental implants. I had radiation to my lower jaw 3900Gy and I have had a dental implant. It really depends on a number of factors, especially the dose, type and your age, Hope this helps

I am having radation treatment can I still have implants?
Ideally you should wait about one yr if you can if not ususally 15 session prior to care in a hyperbaric chamber before treatment and 15 or so hyperbaric treatments after implant surgery to decrease breakdown of jaw bone and infection be very careful!!!

Dental Implants In a Patient with Radiation
If your Jaw was in the field of radiation and if the amount of radiation is greater than the recommended threshold you may not be a good candidate for dental implants. This all depends. You may have the risk of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws. Seek the advice of a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. There are ways of preventing this from occuring so that you may be a candidate
