yes
Yes you can. Avoid lateral forces on implants like jerky and licorice that cause a lateral ripping motion to tear the food.
Yes. But if you have implant crowns that are cemented in place, you always run the risk of loosening them with certain types of gum. If they are screw-retained, you should be fine. Michael Conrad, DDS, PC
The short answer is yes, you can chew gum with dental implants. However, there are still a few things to keep in mind when chewing gum with your dental implants. You want to make sure the gum you're eating does not contain any sugar.
Gum can be harmful with teeth and with dental implants as well. The repetitive loading can shorten the life of both.
Yes you can
Once the implant is fully integrated and restored with a crown you can chew sugar free gum.
Once an implant is firmly in place you can chew gum. The non-sticky kind, like sugarless gum, is OK. You might limit your use of sticky bubble gum, or candies with caramel. Best to wait 8 weeks after implant is in place and the crown is cemented. Dentist
