Dental implants have become an almost common oral surgery procedure for patients with missing teeth. They have not been suitable for everyone though, in particular people with diabetes were often not considered candidates for dental implants. However, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association shows that dental implants can be beneficial for diabetic patients. As a Houston oral surgeon, Dr. Steve Koo at Piney Point Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Houston, TX, is educated and trained in the special needs of diabetic patients and can safely perform dental implant surgery.
