Dental implants while on ADT for 4-6 month course

@jeffmarc Thanks Jeff, I forgot to mention I did have the bone graph for the implants last year. I was suppose to have the implants earlier this year but then I found out about the PC and that put everything on hold. Now that I have the PC treatment plan sorted out I didn't know if it would be better to get the implants in now instead of after 6 months of ADT where bones may be a lot weaker. Thanks again

If all they have to do is put the post in there may not be an issue. If the post is already in, then it doesn’t matter at all since they just attach the tooth to it. The biggest problem is if you need bone rebuilding.

You could ask the dentist if they need it to rebuild bone around the post when they put it in, if so, it might make sense to wait.
