Can you smoke after 1 tooth implant? And what's the healing process time?

Hi:No matter how many implants you get smoking always increases the risk of failure.  Normally, implants healing process is between 3-6 months.Best,Dr. Maddahi

The long and the short is that smoking will increase the chance of implant failure.  This should have been explained to you prior to the procedure.  You have invested a lot of money in yourself for dental implants, do everything in your power to help it have a successful healing process

We recommend no smoking at all as it increases risk of failure or promotes poor healing. The effect of smoking after completion of healing and restoration of the implant is probably less detrimental however it's best to cease completely for long term oral health.
