Implants function almost like natural teeth. Once fully healed, you can chew most foods normally. The implant is firmly anchored in the jawbone. However, just as with natural teeth, overloading is not advisable. For example, avoid cracking nuts with your front teeth or biting down on hard sweets. A temporary crown is often more fragile than a permanent one. Your clinician will give you dietary instructions for the healing period. With an implant-retained overdenture, different rules sometimes apply depending on the system. With common sense and good aftercare, you can eat almost anything. Chewing well also contributes to healthy digestion.

Can I eat anything with implants?
