Can I have dental implants if I take antihypertensive medication?

Dental implants are possible while taking antihypertensive medication, provided that blood pressure is controlled at a stable level. If blood pressure control is not satisfactory, dental implants are not recommended while taking antihypertensive medication. When dental implants are performed on missing teeth, the dental nerve is usually stimulated, resulting in an increase in blood pressure, which is not conducive to the control of high blood pressure. If the patient’s blood pressure is under control while taking antihypertensive medication and is not accompanied by other symptoms, dental implants can be chosen in accordance with the guidance of a professional doctor. In case of severe hypertension, blood pressure control is not satisfactory, dental implants are not recommended while taking antihypertensive medication.
