I keep seeing photos of people with “temporaries”. If you have new implants, isn’t it true that you can’t chew on that site? How long til you can chew real food? How do you cope with the emotional side of things? I cry every time I think about dealing with all of it.

Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.
Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.
What started as a small blog quickly grew into a multifaceted platform with a wide range of dental resources—from practice management tips to in-depth product reviews and educational articles on oral health. Over the years, Dental Country has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and patients alike.

I have the all on 4 implants and after the implant surgery, I was on soft food for 4 months and then got my abutments and on soft food again until I get my perms. Surgery in September 2020 and should have my perms in a month or so. Not meaning to scare, just being realistic. I have heard of some people that are able to eat within the first couple months.
Shelby N. Thank you for the info. There is so much to learn!
Nancy K. there really is. Before I started the process, I did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions.
I ate solid food (Yam and fish sauce ) immediately after the implant was placed.
My gum was sore, Also, there was no temporary put in so there was no problem in biting through bones and rocks, Lol😁
I’m on day 11 post surgery, upper, lower extractions, implants placed, sinus lift, bone graph and temps placed. I’m eating soft foods and it’s not too bad. I’m learning that soft isn’t so bad after all, everyday able to tolerate a little more and more.
I have new implants but I didnt have them put in with everything else first. I had bone grafts etc and waited a year and the ate steak and twiglets the first night they were in., oh qnd lots of crisps. It was just so nice to have back teeth to eat after 20 odd years 😀
What I do is cut up food very small and chew it- no problems.
It’s not so bad, just eat softer food for a few months. The reward is worth it.
Melissa S. ideas for food? My surgery is wed. 🤢
Dot F. , at very first I ate a lot of oatmeal, yogurt, pudding. After you start to heal a little you can switch to some other things and just cut them up tiny. I had oatmeal for lunch for 5 months! 🤣
Melissa S. is it difficult to drink
Melissa S. didn’t you get constipated?
Dot F., easy to drink. No constipation, if I thought I was going there, I’d drink an activia yogurt to help my stomach.
Same I cry
I have AO5 top & bottom. My eday was 4/28. I have no pain or swelling but of course I’m still healing. After 2 weeks with my temps I now eat ground beef, soft cheese, pasta, mashed taters, etc. I mostly use my tongue and roof of my mouth. I’ll be so happy to taste fried chicken and steak in about 5 months!
And don’t cry; it is a huge adjustment but the end result will be so worth it!
With my AO4 procedure I never had to wear temps. I was immediately given permanent bridges and at my 6 month follow up, adjustments were made to fix them (they actually remade my bridges so I was given a second set, no extra charge). I’m not sure why so many people have to wear temps. It’s been one year now since my surgery and still doing great 🤞. I would’ve hated dealing with temps for months after already going through everything else bc it’s a very emotional and mentally exhausting process.
If I remember correctly once the initial pain from the implant insertion was gone I don’t remember having a problem chewing anything. But I didn’t eat food like steak or stuff like peanut brittle.
