This leads to the deterioration of jawbone and connective tissue in the oral cavity.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1324\">Aside from genetic factors, smokers often have poorer bone quality than non-smokers, which can make implant placement more difficult. A stable bone structure is essential for dental implants to ensure they are securely anchored. If bone volume is insufficient, surgical bone augmentation procedures\u2014such as a sinus lift\u2014may be required. These come with added risks for smokers. Our dental implant specialists recommend quitting smoking in advance if you want your implant to last long-term.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-485d8477 schwarzer-hintergrund e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"485d8477\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12699c17 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"12699c17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SMOKING DELAYS HEALING AFTER IMPLANT SURGERY\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e2d69fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e2d69fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1752\">If you decide to get a dental implant despite smoking, it\u2019s important to understand that the procedure is complex. Unlike conventional restorations like crowns, implant placement is a surgical procedure. It involves opening the gum and preparing the jawbone at the selected site using a drill. The implant, usually designed with a screw thread, is then inserted into the bone.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"2164\">Once successfully placed, the implant fuses naturally with the jawbone over the next three to six months, forming a firm base like a natural tooth root. Smoking during this healing phase can disrupt the process. Tobacco smoke contains harmful substances that increase inflammation in the mouth and hinder healing. For this reason, our implantology experts strongly advise against smoking after implant surgery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b53954 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b53954\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">HIGHER RISK OF IMPLANT LOSS IN SMOKERS\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-288997a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"288997a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2392\">Even after the healing phase, smoking continues to affect the success of your dental implant. Studies have shown that implants have a shorter lifespan in smokers than in non-smokers.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2394\" data-end=\"2786\">A study by the University of Manchester found that smokers are twice as likely to lose implants within five years compared to non-smokers. In the study, 1,500 patients were observed (1,100 non-smokers and 549 smokers). Implant loss rates were 2.9% for non-smokers and 5.5% for smokers over five years. Other studies have shown that roughly 10% of smokers lose their implants within ten years.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2788\" data-end=\"3072\">One major cause of this increased failure rate is peri-implantitis\u2014inflammation of the tissue surrounding the implant, which is more common among smokers. If left untreated, this inflammation can lead to implant loss, making the cost and effort of an implant all the more frustrating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e3e16ad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3e3e16ad\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-435efb81 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"435efb81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FROM GUM TO HYPNOSIS: SUPPORT FOR QUITTING SMOKING\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7edc8236 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7edc8236\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3130\" data-end=\"3463\">The implantologists at KU64 Berlin recommend quitting smoking at least 14 days before and after both the bone graft and the implant procedure. Even better would be to quit permanently. Nicotine patches can help relieve withdrawal symptoms. Acupuncture or hypnotherapy with a qualified practitioner may also support smoking cessation.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3465\" data-end=\"4026\">However, dentists advise against replacing cigarettes with nicotine gums or lozenges after implant placement. Even though they don\u2019t produce combustion residues like cigarette smoke, they still expose teeth, oral mucosa, and gums to the toxic effects of nicotine. This increases the risk of gum inflammation, periodontitis, and infections such as peri-implantitis or mucositis. In the long term, maintaining a good intake of vitamin C can help promote oral health.
