For the first three weeks to a month, do not chew with dental implants. If your implant surgery is a one-step procedure and the abutment is closed, you must avoid chewing food on the implanted site for at least 3 to 4 weeks after the implant procedure. If you have dentures putting pressure on the surgical site, do not use them anymore or a layer of soft primer material is placed inside the denture by the dentist, if necessary.
