Smoking increases the possibility of implant failure. When working to maintain a healthy oral lifestyle; it is important to consider your diet, how many times you brush your teeth, and your day to day habits. Smoking, especially daily, increases your chances of gum disease and failed implants. Smoking after bone graft procedure can cause your bone to not heal properly. Toxins in the nicotine can cause infection to the gums and decrease the chances of the bone properly healing. By smoking after such a procedure yourself in extreme risk of failure.
