Question Antibiotics before dental?

This is news to me. I am today 3 weeks post-op for 2 level Prodisc-C by Dr. Bertagnoli. I am doing great at this point. I saw this post about the prophylactic ABs and wonder what the reasoning is as it relates to prostheses in the spine. I am scheduled for some minor dental work in the near future, including replacing a temporary crown with a permanent one-after finishing up my Invisalign process shortly. (Had I known I'd be getting a nice scar on my neck I wouldn't have made my teeth so straight and white as it will only draw attention to my face and neck, lol-vanity will get you in trouble!)
I don't think my dentist would know what to do either way...
