Following a dental bridge procedure, there is an adjustment period during which you may need to be cautious with your eating habits. Initially, it’s advisable to stick to softer foods and gradually reintroduce a regular diet as you become accustomed to the bridge. While the bridge enhances your ability to chew and eat, avoiding excessively hard or sticky foods is recommended to prevent damage. The success of eating and chewing comfortably with a dental bridge depends on factors such as the type of bridge, its stability, and your adaptation to the new restoration. Most individuals find that, after the initial adjustment period, they can enjoy a varied diet without significant restrictions, appreciating the improved functionality and aesthetics provided by the dental bridge. We recommend regular Gilbert dental check-ups, ensuring that the bridge remains in good condition, supporting comfortable eating and chewing.
