When considering dental implants we would advise you to reduce your smoking or completely stop. Smokers do have an higher percentage of failure. Regarding pain there is nothing to be worried about you may experience some discomfort for a couple of days after the surgery but nothing more. As long as your implants are well maintained by your dentist and your oral hygiene is good there is no reason why they won’t last a lifetime.
