Hello sir
Thank you for your query
Although it is advisable to stop smoking to improve the success of your implants you may consider nicotine gum or patches since immediate cessation may not be possible
Alternatively you can go for a bridge as well
Next Steps
Stop smoking and get nicotine replacement else go for a bridge

Dental implant treatment has the advantage of not preparing the adjacent teeth as in for a bridge/fpd...but yes ur habit can affect the success of the treatment..... If u can consider stopping the habit for a prescribed period before, during and after the procedure... And reduce it to a minimal level... Implant option can be considered if other parameters needed for implant treatment are adequate
Next Steps
please visit a specialist Practicing Implantology for the same
