If you will soon be undergoing an All-on-4 procedure<\/a> for dental implants, you may be wondering what your diet will look like for the next few months. The truth is, while recovery from this procedure is relatively easy, you will still need to temporarily adjust what you eat until you\u2019ve healed completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start drinking fluids immediately after your surgery, but limit this to cool liquids only for the first 48 hours. Do not attempt to drink anything hot until your anesthesia has worn off and stay away from anything spicy until after the third- or fourth-day post-op. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption during the healing process, and never use a straw, as this can loosen your blood clots and cause excess bleeding that slows recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
