Can You Get Dental Implants During Pregnancy?
The Truth Every Mum-to-Be Should Know Before Booking a Dental Holiday
Pregnancy is a time of change — and that includes your oral health. Many patients from the UK reach out to The Pearl Clinic Antalya asking:
💬 “Can I still have dental implants if I’m pregnant?”
💬 “Is it dangerous for my baby?”
💬 “Should I wait until after birth?”
In this article, we answer one of the most frequently asked questions from women considering dental treatment abroad — and give you expert advice you can trust.
Is It Safe to Get Dental Implants While Pregnant?
In short, no — dental implant surgery is not recommended during pregnancy.
Here’s why dentists and medical experts advise waiting:
🦷 X-rays are needed for planning, and even though modern X-rays are low-risk, they’re avoided during pregnancy as a precaution.
💉 Local anesthesia, antibiotics, and painkillers may be required, and not all are considered pregnancy-safe.
🧠 Stress and healing time: Surgery can be physically and emotionally demanding — not ideal when you’re growing a tiny human.
✅ If you're pregnant and need urgent dental care, non-invasive treatments can still be done safely.
When Is the Right Time to Get Implants?
Planning matters!
Here’s our advice:
-
👶 Before pregnancy: Ideal time to complete implants and recover smoothly.
-
⏳ During pregnancy: Avoid implant surgery; consider check-ups or hygiene treatments only.
-
🍼 After birth and breastfeeding: Safest window for full dental treatment — your body is ready, and medications are no longer a concern.
