Cost aside, getting implants seems like a complex process as HBOT is usually performed on top of the numerous procedures to put in an implant.
Personally, one of the major long term side effects lurking in my mind from time to time is ORN. I'm concerned doing anything that might upset the condition of my jaw bone. The reason for implants would have to be substantial to offset the added risks of potential ORN related issues.
If you do pursue implants make certain you find multiple specialists who have done this in oral cancer patients receiving radiation with similar painting profiles. I'd also want to know they have experience over years with patients and how things develop over time.
Good luck Don
