Can smokers get dental implants?

Short Answer: Smokers can receive implants, but the success rate is lower, and healing may take longer.

Nicotine restricts blood flow, which slows healing and increases the risk of implant failure. Quitting or reducing smoking during recovery improves the outcome significantly.

If you’re considering implants and smoke, we’ll work with you to boost your chances for a healthy, lasting result.
