Dentistry on Dufferin will advise you to consume soft meals for the first 24 hours or so after your dental implant treatment. Keep plenty of soft meals on hand since you may need to stick to them for up to seven days after surgery. Good go-to mainstays include mashed potatoes, smoothies, applesauce, meal replacement drinks, homemade broth and bouillon, smooth soups (not chunky), juices, and protein drinks. Steer clear of citrus fruits since they might harm tooth enamel. You'll have a better chance of recovering quickly if you follow your North York dentist's advice.

The good news is that you can continue to eat delicious things like chicken, steaks, apples, tacos, almonds, and more with a dental implant. You can also talk and smile just as you would with your original teeth. This is since dental implants, like natural teeth, are made to chew through difficult-to-digest meals and replace tooth roots. Implants fuse to the jawbone after being surgically positioned under the gum line. Once the tissues in the afflicted region have healed, you won't have to worry about your dental implant coming out since the titanium is attached to the jawbone. The tooth replacement (crown, bridge, or denture) will be attached to the implant and function as the biting surface of the tooth.
