While implant-supported dentures provide stability and improved chewing function, avoiding certain foods will help to prevent damage or discomfort. Hard and sticky foods can put excessive pressure on the dentures and compromise their integrity. Therefore, you should avoid chewing on hard candies, ice, popcorn kernels, nuts, and tough meats. Sticky foods like chewing gum, caramel, and taffy can also cause the dentures to become dislodged or attract debris, making them harder to clean. Additionally, hot foods and beverages can potentially warp the denture material, so it's best to allow them to cool before consumption. If you have any concerns or questions regarding whether or not a specific food is good for implant-supported dentures, Dr. Dhariwal can provide recommendations.
