Do steroids affect dental implant success?

Q. Hi, I have been told I may need dental implants in 6 months or so and have read steroids may affect the implant success, which type of steroids do this? as I use an asthma inhaler and had to have a small course of anabolic steroid pills to help with a leg ulcer I had last year. Thank you Mr Paul Wing
A. You may need the steroids topping up prior to treatment but you should ask you dentist and GP before the surgery to place the implant
