What Addition Steps To Take For Dental Implants When I Have Lupus?

SoCASue
I currently have Lupus which is well managed by plaquinil with no steroid use, but with slightly elevated c reactive protein (inflammation).I need to get 2 front teeth replaced with implants due to severe cracks far down on the root. What questions should I ask to make sure I have a surgeon who truly understands my illness? What signs should I look for to make sure things are progessing the way they should healing wise, as I take longer to heal than most patients? Any help is appreciated!
