Is it possible that a cold can affect dental implants?

Not a problem: With implants just placed on top with sinus surgery, you should not blow your nose. In other circumstances there should be no effect.

Typically Not: But need more details -- was the implant recently placed utilizing a sinus lift? Was the implant placed some time back? If the placement was recent in the upper posterior area utilizing a sinus lift, try to minimize blowing your nose, take the appropriate medications prescribed by your doctor and call if you have any questions or concerns. Hope this helps.

Cold and implants: Temperature cold? No. Cold as in common cold or other virus? No. Bacterial infection at time of placement of implants? Perhaps.

Not likely: If they are already in place and healed, not likely at all.
