Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
You can definitely use dicloxacillin as a prophylaxis. but it is a narrow spectrum antibiotic.
If you already have infection in your implant it is better to use broad spectrum antibiotic.
If you are or could be allergic to penicillin please dont use it.
Otherwise there is no other reason not to use it.
