Talk to your doctor: In most cases, yes, cosmetic dental procedures can be done safely in people with diabetes. However, if your diabetes is not under good control, or you have certain complications, that could increase the risk of infection or other complications from the dental procedure. Your doctor can help you understand your particular situation.

Absolutely: It is extremely important that diabetics take optimal care of their mouths. You are at a much higher risk to develop gum problems as a diabetic. And there is no reason why you should not have the smile you want. Of course, dentists often consult with physicians to make sure your condition is being well managed.
