Hi
If you just had your implant surgery, I would continue to eat soft foods for at least a few weeks. You want to make sure the bone graft integrates with the implant and you don’t want a lot of pressure on the implant until it completely heals .
Great question!
In general maybe 2-3 weeks on soft foods and avoid eating on the implant site ...after eating it is important to clean around the implant site to prevent infection
