All-On-4 dental implant surgery is the go-to procedure for patients looking to improve their smile and overall dental health. With a high success rate compared to other methods, the All-On-4 is the closest option to a permanent solution.
The procedure is efficient and fast, but some foods should be avoided temporarily to ensure proper healing. Eating or drinking the wrong things can lead to several difficulties after the procedure. Here’s some useful information about what you can eat and drink with your implant dentures during recovery.
First Two Weeks
A Guide to All-On-4 Dental Implants Aftercare
In the first two weeks after the surgery, patients will need to follow a liquid and soft foods diet. Staying hydrated is very important during this time, and liquids that are rich in nutrients will help speed up the healing.

Your mouth, jaw, and throat will most likely be sore, that’s why a liquid diet is recommended. You should also avoid warm beverages like soup or tea, as they can burn the numb tissues in your mouth.
The use of straws can be detrimental as well. The sucking motion can loosen blood clots and cause more bleeding.

Examples of what you can drink or eat during the first two weeks:

Water
Milkshakes
Smoothies
Ice cream
Milk
Coconut water
Gelatin
Powdered egg whites
Fruit juices
Sugar, syrup, or honey
Yogurt drinks
Pudding
Sodas
Frozen yogurt

2 Weeks to 3 Months Post-Surgery

By this time, the jaw is forming a biological bond with the implant screws (osseointegration).

Most of the soreness should have receded, but the jaw is still healing. You can add more soft foods to your diet, but you still need to watch out for what you’re eating.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods that can disrupt recovery.

Here are some examples of food you can eat during this time:

Soft Bread
Pasta
Oatmeal
Vegetables
Mashed Fruits or Soft fruits that do not contain a lot of seeds like bananas
Eggs
Yogurt
Cheese
Hummus
Turkey, chicken, fish


Make sure to note any pain or sensation that occurred during and after eating or drinking. 
If anything causes pain or discomfort to your jaw, avoid it until the healing process is complete.
