Dental implants while on ADT for 4-6 month course

@jeffmarc Hi Jeff, think you are talking about heavyphil who posted he is a retired dentist and suggested for me to wait. A few other members posted they had implants done while on ADT with no problems. From what I've read it was definitely advised not to get done if also on bone strengthening drugs with ADT. Like I posted I'm only doing a short course of ADT (Orgovyx) 4-6 months. Seeing the implant dentist this Friday and will run it past him. I'm sure he will check how much bone & density I have and then advise.

Since ADT isn’t great for the bones, we all know it weakens them, It does throw a question in the mix. If you have enough bone, and they don’t have to put some in and you have to wait a few months for it to grow into existing bone. They can put in the post. The post has to have the bone grow around it before they put on the tooth.
People have said they had it done, An x-ray can tell whether or not the bone is binding around the post. I guess it’s up to the Dentist. We’re all different so it may work great for one person and not so great for another.
