How long should I wait after my dental implant to conceive? Will the implant fail if I conceive too soon?

October 1, 2020
Asked By:LisaMaria710 in Stamford, CT

My husband and I are currently family planning and I have my dental implant in November. We’d like to conceive after that and push off the crown if possible. Would they place the crown if I’m pregnant? It’s my understanding that the crown is just screwed on. How long should I wait after my dental implant to conceive? Will the implant fail if I conceive too soon? Will it cause complications for the fetus? I just need some kind of timeline. Thank you.

Hi @stanle, You've had some bad luck there, sorry to hear that. Pure bad luck is possible, but there may have also been procedural aspects that led to this - it's impossible to know over the internet, but perhaps this is something the dentist or surgeon can discuss with you. Sometimes it may be...
