Can I have dental implants if I am a smoker?

We now know that smoking does affect both natural teeth and implants. For natural teeth, smoking increases the risks of gum disease. For implants, smoking slightly increases the risks of complications at every stage of implant treatment. We would recommend to stop smoking to reduce any chances of implant failure in the long run.

The good news is that this increased risk if very slight and we successfully treat patients who are smokers every day at Dental Concepts.Share this post with your friends…FacebookTwitterLinkedInBloggerWhatsAppEmail
