Can I Get Dental Implants if I Smoke?

Dental implants have revolutionized the way we approach missing teeth. For decades, patients had to rely on uncomfortable dentures or destructive bridges. Today, we can offer a long-lasting solution that mimics nature in every way.

Understanding the Basics

At its core, a dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Why Choose Implants?

• Preserves natural tooth structure (no need to grind down adjacent teeth)
• Helps prevent bone loss and facial changes
• Restores strong chewing function
• Long-lasting solution with proper care

Many patients worry about the cost or the surgery itself. However, with modern techniques like computer-guided surgery and sedation, the process is far more comfortable and predictable than ever before. The long-term value often outweighs the initial investment when you consider the recurring costs of denture maintenance or bridge replacements.
