Once your dental implant has fully healed, you can enjoy a normal diet without any restrictions. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about shifting when you’re eating and speaking because the implant is secured to your jaw.
However, you’ll need to wait at least one week after your procedure before you can enjoy certain foods. These include, but aren’t limited to, foods that are:
Chewy (bagels, gummies)
Crunchy (chips, popcorn)
Hot (soup, coffee)
Spicy (salsa, hot peppers)
Sticky (caramels, taffy)
Acidic (oranges, tomatoes)
Tough (steak, raw vegetables)
