Your diet is one of the most important components of the recovery process following dental implant therapy. Although we can place your implants, your care and cooperation in following our experts’ recommendations are critical to the success of the treatment.
During the first four weeks, we recommend soft foods. Any kind of food which don’t require a lot of chewing forces, such as:
- over-cooked pasta
- mashed potato
- risotto
- pure of vegetables
- thin fish (Tilapia, Trout)
After four weeks, you can add thicker food like drumsticks and salmon to your diet. After eight weeks you can try very tender beef or lamb.
Throughout the first eight weeks of your healing, it is important to avoid the following foods:
- bread with hard crust
- crouton
- salad
- hard steamed vegetable
- sticky candies like Taffy
- pretzels
- nuts
