Q. my teeth are graualy falling out due to smoking, I have tried dentures but I cant keep them in my mouth for long and they feel uncomfortable. Most of my upper teeth are missing. or loose will implants be a good alternative,
A. Hi. The sucess rate for dental implants is not as high in patients that smoke compared to non smokers. Most dentists performing dental implants would strongly recommend that you stop smoking before undergoing treatment and that any underlying gum disease is treated before implants are placed.
