With your new dental implants, you’ll quickly return to enjoying your favorite foods. However, in the days immediately following your surgery, it’s important to stick to dishes that won’t interfere with your healing.
For approximately your first week with your new restoration, we recommend soft foods and liquids to prevent unnecessary pressure on your implants during healing. Soups and soft noodles are a good option, but allow them to cool before eating. Overly hot foods can cause damage to tender gum tissue, especially if the numbness from your procedure hasn’t subsided.
Treat yourself to iced desserts and smoothies — these will be comfortable to eat and provide cooling relief to your gums. Your dentist will talk to you before your procedure and make sure you know what’s safe to eat after your treatment.
