No, it’s not recommended to smoke after getting a dental implant. Smoking decreases the chances of implant success and increases the risk of implant failure. It can also delay healing, increase your risk of infection, and cause complications after dental implant placement such as peri-implantitis, (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the implant).
Smoking decreases the blood supply to the implant area, slowing down the healing process and making it more difficult for the implant to naturally fuse with the jawbone. Additionally, smoking can also cause a decrease in bone density, making it harder for the implant to secure in the jaw.
