Dental extraction while taking Prolia,
Bones, Joints & Muscles | Last Active: Sep 13 5:18pm | Replies (28)Comment receiving replies
I have been on Prolia injections for several years. During those years I had one tooth extraction and it went well enough. This time I need my front tooth removed and will wear a temporary resin tray of some sort u til the bone and graph heals long enough to move forward with a permanent implant. My dentist has me in antibiotics and a few days before the procedure to start this dental rinse. He told me that being in Prolia increases my chances of healing properly and there is a 3% of the implant failing. He is a great dentist and I have known him for over 20 years. I know he is concerned about me being on Prolia and having this procedure. Can someone help me understand what is going onv I thought having Prolia injections every 6 months is suppose to help my bones?

I had the same procedure you are talking about while on Prolia. Front tooth extracted and implant installed. I followed all instructions and after a few months had a new tooth and no further problems. Sounds like your dentist is well aware of Prolia and will take good care of you. Good luck!
I know I'm replying to an old post but how did your extraction go? I'm having an extraction next week and have had 3 Prolia shots so far. I was wondering what antibiotic your Oral surgeon had you take? I'm more concerned with side effects from the antibiotic than the actual extraction! I'm allergic to amoxicillin. Thank you
I have heard a number of complaints about bone density medications. I don't have answers or solutions, but I will confirm that I have heard of a number of problems.

Since you have had dental work in the past while on Prolia, and it was a successful procedure, it seems to me you should be okay. All of these medications that strengthen our bones seem to pose a slightly higher risk for problems. If you find out why this is true, please let me know. I am about to go on Prolia, after much thought and research about these choices. I will keep you in my prayers.
