Are There Any Problems Due to Smoking in Implant Treatment?

Smoking is normally very harmful to oral tissues. Irritations caused by smoking also negatively affect the normal healing process of gums and mouth tissues. During the healing process, cigarettes neutralize the food and minerals in the bone and soft tissue, which are required during the connection of the implant to the healthy bone. Smoking also reduces the oxygen required for the blood supply to the bone tissues and gums adjacent to the implant.
