Will smoking a few cigarettes harm dental implant?

September 17th, 2010
Q.
I am a smoker and have just had two implants. Bone has been grafted for a third. Despite the fact that I have been warned strongly and have read about all the danger of smoking, I find I am still sneaking one or two a day. Trying to stop completely seems impossible and I am wondering if it is possible to have a couple a day or if I am just kidding myself. The tension of it all is dreadful.

Do dental implants look just like real teeth?

September 17th, 2010
Q.
I know I can expect a good level of pain following the implant procedure but what I am mainly concerned with is just how natural the thing will feel. I am getting one implant and an attached crown. It will obvisouly take some time to get used to it but will it really look and feel just like a normal tooth? I just don’t like the idea of having something quite so alien in my mouth!

For most people it will look a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
