At Pipe Creek Dental Center, many of our patients ask about what they can (and cannot) eat with their dentures. For the majority of patients, you should be able to eat almost anything you like after your gums are healed from the initial installment. For your overall gum health and the longevity of your dentures, we recommend avoiding foods like chewing gum, popcorn, sticky candy, or anything that is too strenuous for your dentures.
