Can smokers get implants? smokers implant can be done. There are many patients who smoke, of course smoking is harmful to the gums and healing. But these damages may not be to the extent that they will completely prevent the implant from fusing with the bone. But we cannot say that it does not cause any harm. Smoking is as harmful to the body as it is to the oral health. Implants can be done, but if good hygiene is provided, when the implants fuse with the bone after waiting two or three months, if the patients continue to smoke less, the implant success decreases by ten to twenty percent, but it can remain in the mouth.
