Tooth 30 extracted. Thinking about implant or bridge. Input?

August 3, 2013
Asked By:mfmartin in Wilmington, DE

On Thursday I had tooth number 30 extracted. I was thinking about the ways to replace it. A few things I am concerned. #1 is I might suffer from bruxism but am not entirely sure. #2 I currently smoke, well I did up until last week. I realize that if I get an implant that those days are over. Is there any concern with me being a former smoker and having an implant done? Finally I drink beer, about 2-3 times a week and about 5-10 drinks a night. Would that be a concern for getting implants?
