Yes, I had a tooth extraction followed by an implant placement last year. I am 7 years post aortic valve replacement and aneurysm resections. As part of my normal dental precautions, I took 2 grams of amoxicillin prior to each procedure and all went well. I also went off my baby aspirin for 5 days prior to the procedures. This was all done with my cardiologists's approval.

Hello Marie, thankyou for responding to my question, I was instructed my extraction had to be done in the OR and Warfarin stopped 5 days ahead which both instilled a little fear. Thought if reach out here for any possible experiences. Thankyou again.

If the warfarin is stopped, they will "bridge" you with subcutaneous or intravenous heparin and restart the warfarin when they are sure everything looks good. It is a little more planning when you are on warfarin, but it can be done. Let us know how it goes!

I think the worst part, so far, about recovery was the fear and the next will be the length of time. Soon it will just be a memory though, all the best 👍
