Following surgery, your mouth will be tender and you should stick to soft foods and liquids.<\/p><p>For the first two to three days after surgery, maintaining a primarily liquid diet and avoiding chewing is key. After, you can vary your diet more but still keep it soft. The entire healing process for an implant will take about six months, but you should be able to start back with your regular diet following the first two weeks post-operation.<\/p><p>A diet rich in protein is essential to healing faster. Some examples of how you can keep your diet nutrient-rich and safe for your implants are soups and stews with soft meat, broiled fish, thin pasta, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes and pumpkins, scrambled eggs, and soft, seedless fruits. Protein shakes, particularly those that are dairy-free, will be extremely beneficial to your recovery.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Foods Should I Avoid After Dental Implant Surgery?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Cookout season has begun, but for patients who just got dental implants, your favorite meals could be negatively affecting your oral health.
