Dental work while on Reclast?

Posted by sebutler @sebutler, Feb 6, 2025

Has anyone had dental work done while on Reclast? Any problems, particularly if the dental work involved an extraction or an implant? A published survey found that cases of jaw necrosis occurred two or more years after beginning Reclast, but six years or more for patients on Fosamax.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

How did your wife make out with the oral surgeon? Is she allowed to get her implants? I need an extraction/bone graft/implant on a broken tooth now. Have been on Prolia for 2 yrs. & last shot June 5. Ortho doc says ok to have the oral surgery end of Sept. (about 3 1/2 mos. from last shot). Then start something else like Reclast or oral Altelvia late Dec. to avoid Prolia withdrawal rebound. I'm concerned if 3 mos. is enough time for implant surgery to heal, or if I should only do extraction/bone graft now & have to wait until later next year to do implant?
