what happens if antibitotics don’t work?

I am currently on antibiotics to treat my gums because I'm scheduled to have dental implants next week. I've had serious dental issues since I was a child because my family couldn't afford to take me to the dentist, which led to my teeth falling out and caused a gum infection. Now, I'm wondering: what happens if the antibiotics don't work? Will the dentist still be able to proceed with the dental implants in that case? Additionally, how will the dentist address the infection if the antibiotics fail?

Wow! That’s for an oral surgeon to answer! Because it will depend on if that if that infection did damage to the underlying bone-which is instrumental to implants!

you need to ask your dentist these questions. Antibiotics is just medicine that is made to kill microorganisms in your body. Along with killing bad bacteria, it also kills good bacteria in your body so the rest of your body is more open to infections. Doesn’t necessarily mean you definately will get an infection, but your chance are increased. I don’t think your dentist can put in implants while your gums are still infected.
