After implant surgery, we typically recommend a soft diet to support proper healing beneath the gums. There are specific foods that are safe to eat and others that should be avoided to ensure optimal recovery. The exact dietary recommendations depend on the procedure performed, the number of implants placed, and the type of restoration used. While we encourage patients to maintain a relatively normal diet, certain foods should be consumed with caution to prevent complications.
