Q. How long will I ned to stop smoking for the whole dental implant prodecure to make sure the thing is a success? Will chewing gum be a good alternative or will this be difficult when the implant is first put in?
A. i always prefer my patients to stop smoking for several months before placing implants, as this decreases the success rate. Also remember if you continue to smoke after this, it may affect the prognosis.
