(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 26, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- For many, dental implants are the best solution for replacing missing teeth; and while they are an excellent solution, the fixtures need to be taken care of consistently. Smoking has not only a negative effect on overall health, but can also significantly damage one's teeth.
Implants are placed in as a root to which is composited of titanium. The root is thus used to support the dental restoration. It can be either a singular tooth or a set that is supported by the implant. All the missing teeth can be replaced permanently with the proper implant.
Prior to any surgery of a dental implant, the surgeon undertakes a routine patient brief. The following are then studied for the surgery: Inferior alveolar nerve and the bone which the implant is to be fixed.
Once the surgeon acquires all the details on the best way to fix the implant, the dental implant process is to begin. The gum is moved and the dentist boars a hole inside the bone of the patient.
It can take anywhere from two to six months to heal after a surgery of this type. During an implant, the patient is expected to have normal blood circulation, which is vital to the gums recovery. The bone also requires oxygen during the recovery as well. For patients that smoke, there is more of a chance of developing infection or improper healing due to the circulation to the mouth being less effective. Blood flow does not provide the oxygen and healing necessary for proper recovery.
Medications that are meant to help the healing process are also made less effective due to smoking. The potency of antibiotics to fight infection that may be onset after the surgery is also hindered. The smoke itself can also negatively affect the implant itself if smoke contacts it directly.
