Importance of a Diet After Dental Implant Surgery

During and following the dental implant surgery you need certain food and nutrients in order to enhance the recovery phase and maintain the good results alongside other reasons which include:

Healing and Tissue Repair

Dental implant procedure is a long process which takes up to 8 months, during this extended period of time your jawbone and tissue need to become completely repaired and healed for ideal results.

Proper Fusion of the Implant

During the period of healing your jawbone will grow on the implant and then they combine together to create the base for the dental implant, and nutrition will back up the whole process.

Reduce Inflammation

During the period of healing or even afterwards, your body and tissues are sensitive and prone to inflammation, and consuming a stabilized diet contributes to the prevention of any possible inflammation.

Minimize Discomfort and Pain

The process of dental implants itself is not as painful as you’ll be having local anesthesia but you might feel a bit of discomfort afterwards which is completely normal, and having a balanced diet helps increase endurance.

Prevent Complications

Dental implant surgery is overall a safe process, but like any minimally invasive procedure it comes with a chance of many complications and risks, and a balanced nutrient intake induces your body’s immunity.

What is Avoided in the Diet After Dental Implants?

In order to maintain the good results after dental implant surgery and avoid any possible complication, you should follow the instructions and steer clear from these food choices:

Hard and Crunchy Food

This type of food increases the pressure over the implants or the sensitive tissue surrounding them and here are some examples:

• Nuts - seeds
• Raw vegetables
• Hardcandies 

Tough or Chewy Food

Chewy food needs a lot of movements which may cause huge irritation to the implant site, avoid these types of food:

• Tough bread
• Chewy candies
• Medium-cooked steak

Sticky Food

Sticky food is almost impossible to remove as it may stick around the implant site and cause irritation, examples include:

• Caramel
• Gummy bears
• Sticky candies

Spicy Food

Spicy food can irritate the implant site and the surrounding tissues, which contributes to elevating the risks or complications like inflammation.

Acidic Food

Similar to spicy food, acidic food irritates the sensitive tissues and might cause some kind of inflammation.

Extremely Hot/Cold Beverages

Consuming super hot/cold drinks can cause discomfort and possibly slows the healing process

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption also leads to slowing the healing process, induces bleeding and is the reason behind many complications.

Carbonated Beverages
