Can you smoke after putting Dental Implants?

Smoking can cause problems before, during and after dental implant treatment. This does not mean that a dental implant treatment cannot be performed on a smoker, but rather that very special measures will have to be taken in order for it to be successful.

 

Smoking in Oral Health and Dental Implants

 

We will describe in more detail below the consequences of smoking on oral health and dental implant treatment.

 

Tobacco problems in oral health

 

Smoking is detrimental to general health and can cause serious problems in the mouth such as: oral cancer and periodontal disease, in addition to the well-known stains on teeth and bad breath (halitosis).

 

In fact, smoking can lead to tooth loss, due to the harmful substances it contains. Tobacco reduces blood flow and generates loss in the bone, which is responsible for supporting the tooth.

 

In conclusion, when talking about oral health smoking increases the chances of getting infections in the mouth, and can deteriorate the tissues and support of the teeth.

 

Tobacco problems in dental implant treatment

 

In a treatment with dental implants, Smoking is one of the factors with the highest risk of causing implant rejection. 

 

When a dental implant treatment is to be carried out, it is essential that oral health is in perfect condition so that the implant has adequate support and, as we mentioned before, tobacco does not allow optimal oral health. 

Before putting a dental implant, the state of the bone into which it will be inserted, the health of the gum and other factors such as the general health of the patient should be verified. 

 

Considering this, In dental implant treatment, regular tobacco use can: 

 

    • Make it require additional treatments before inserting implants, such as regeneration of bone tissue or bone graft, treatments to control periodontal problems or infections.
    • generate delays or failures in the osseointegration process, because smoking affects the healing process.
    • Produce dental implant rejection, due to incorrect healing or lack of implant support.
    • Decrease the lifespan of the dental implant, if the habit is not controlled and strict oral hygiene is not carried out.
    •  

Conclusions and recommendations

 

How can we find out The problems generated by smoking in our oral health are countless. For this reason, it is very important to take measures against this habit to avoid its serious consequences.

 

Our recommendation on smoking is to eliminate it completely. We know it can be difficult, but it is more than necessary to break the habit. If this is not possible, it is essential to try to control it and always maintain a special and very strict oral hygiene, with very frequent visits to the dentist and implantologist, to try to minimize its consequences.
