Long story cut short -

I have two titanium plates on the inside and outside of my lower right jaw. That ALONG with two titanium posts anchoring two crowns.

The ONLY thing the doctor/surgeon was adamant about was NO chewing tobacco/snuff for at least 4-6 months.

Cigarettes and cigars he said to take it slooooooooowly. But within 8 weeks I was doing fine - and no issues.

And my surgery was to stabilize a shattered jaw along with the implants. Just some words from experience.
