Dentist Questions Dental Implant Surgery

Can you eat normally with dental implants?

I'm going to have a dental implant surgery at the end of this week. When is it okay to eat normally after a dental implant?

You should be careful over the first week or so, then be able to advance back to normal function.
You can start eating normally the day after.
After they are attached to the jaw bone and the dentist secures restorations onthe implants. This process takes 10-12 weeks minimum
Yes you can eat normally.
Should be no biting for a few weeks on that side.
Dental implants are a great advancement. Follow your doctor's instructions. Keep your mouth and implant clean. Flossing your natural teeth and implant and brushing them will keep
your mouth healthy. You may be given instructions about what foods you should avoid. Follow your doctor's instructions.
