Dental Implants and Transplant Patients

Dan, a prospective dental implant patient, asks us:

I am three years post-liver transplantation.
I am on Immunosuppressant therapy.

My dentist recommeds dental implants over
dentures for my upper mouth. Have dental implants proven successful in
transplant patients? How much greater is the risk of infection?
