Dental implant and Cannabis - is that combination O.K?
Hi, I don't smoke cannabis everyday more like twice a year, however I just recently got a dental implant and was wondering if I smoke cannabis after stage two of the implant (which the female screw is inserted in my upper jaw) how would it affect me?

 Smoking isn’t recommended
by: Dr. S

Smoking isn’t recommended during the early stages of the healing process after dental implant surgery for a few reasons:
• The smoke from the cigarettes dries up the gums and soft tissue in the mouth – This is bad for blood circulation in the implant area and causes less blood from being supplied to the implant area. Optimal blood supply is crucial for successful bone regeneration.

• Inhaling cigarette smoke generates back pressure / vacuum forces that are not natural to the physiology of our teeth/jaw. These pressures are bad for the newly implanted teeth – especially when the implant is not fully osseointegrated(attached) with the bone.
