When you replace an entire row of missing teeth with an implant denture, you can look forward to a complete smile that looks great and lets you eat practically anything. With the All-on-4<\/a> technique, it only takes four dental implants to support a full denture. Plus, you\u2019ll receive your new teeth on the same day that your implants are placed! However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can chow down on a juicy steak quite yet. You\u2019ll need to be careful about your diet after All-on-4 surgery in West Orange as your smile heals. Here\u2019s a brief guide on what to eat during All-on-4 recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Diet for the First Two Weeks After Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first week or two after dental implant<\/a> surgery, you\u2019ll want to stick to a liquid diet. Your mouth will be too sore at first to properly chew, and even after the pain fades, your new teeth won\u2019t quite be ready yet to stand up to chewing pressures. Still, you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019re staying hydrated and drinking nutritious fluids to encourage smooth and fast recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to drink only cool liquids for the first 48 hours after your surgery. Ideally, you should avoid hot or spicy beverages until at least the fourth day post-op, as they could irritate your still-healing gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you drink, do NOT use a straw for at least three days following your procedure. The sucking force could disturb the blood clots forming over the implant sites, causing pain and complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples of healthy liquids you can have during the first two weeks after All-on-4 dental implant surgery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
