Can I still get invisalign after getting a dental implant?

It depends on how big the surgery is. If it’s done in a very straightforward manner, say, you’re just putting in one dental implant on very good bone, then you’d hardly feel anything. It’s kind of like the side effects you feel after something less than an extraction. Because you’re basically just putting a pin into your bone. You could feel almost like there’s nothing, perhaps just soreness.

Smoking is a risk factor for dental implant displacement. That means it basically reduces the success rate of dental implants. We do highly advise patients not to smoke, otherwise, it lowers the success rate. We know that smoking is not good. We highly recommend that you refrain from smoking for at least a week because the implant does not stick very well to the bone when you smoke. The gums that you want to seal the implant on also cannot stick to one another. Smoking decreases the blood supply and it’s a vasoconstrictor, which means that it closes off the blood vessels.
