Effects Of Smoking On Dental Implant

Smoking is the number one cause of dental implant in Ahmedabad failure. However, it's not just the act of smoking that can affect your dental implants. The smoke itself, which has many chemicals in it that are harmful to teeth and gums, can also be a problem. Although there are different types of dental implants out there for smokers and non-smokers alike, here are some tips for those who want to reduce their risks when getting this type of treatment:

• HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE IMPLANT?

Perhaps you've heard that smoking can cause gum disease, but did you know that it can affect your dental implant, too?Smoking causes gum recession, which is when the gums recede from the teeth. This exposes more of your tooth roots and makes your teeth more susceptible to decay and infection. It also affects bone loss; if you have a missing or extracted tooth, smoking will speed up how quickly the bone surrounding it weakens or deteriorates—making it harder for your dentist to use in the dental implant in Ahmedabad placement.

• WHY DOES SMOKING AFFECT THE IMPLANT?

Smoking has a multitude of negative effects on your health, and one area that it can particularly affect is your dental implant. It's important to understand why smoking may impact the success of your implant so that you can make sure to avoid these negative impacts.

• Smoking reduces blood flow to the implant. When you smoke, you reduce the amount of blood flowing through your body. This means that less oxygen will be able to reach your tissue, which reduces its ability to heal properly after an operation like placing a dental implant into place in your jawbone (the process known as osseointegration).
• Smoking reduces the oxygenation of an implant's surface area. A lack of oxygen means that tissue won't be able to grow properly around an implanted object, leading to failure over time if left untreated.
  
  
• HOW CAN YOU REDUCE THE RISKS OF SMOKING?

To reduce your risk of developing gum disease from smoking, it is advised to:

• Give up smoking. This is the best thing you can do for your oral health and will help prevent the symptoms of gum disease.
• Use a nicotine replacement therapy such as patches, gums or lozenges to help you quit smoking if you are unable to give up completely. The risks associated with these products are small compared to those caused by smoking, so this may be a good option for some people who want something more immediate than quitting cold turkey.
