If you\u2019re new to dental implants<\/a>, you have a lot to look forward to! These prosthetics are often touted as the ideal way to replace missing teeth because they\u2019re placed directly into the jawbone for added strength and stability. Unlike alternatives like dentures and dental bridges, they function as sturdy stand-alone structures. There are fewer dietary restrictions to be concerned about because your artificial teeth aren\u2019t likely to slip out of place or become dislodged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s great news if you\u2019re a fan of summertime and its many delicious flavors. Continue reading to learn about 3 popular foods you can enjoy this season with your recently restored smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Food #1: Fresh Fruit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients who have suffered from tooth loss are forced to avoid fresh fruits despite their many beneficial nutrients. Options like apples, pears, and peaches are harder to bite into, and dentures or dental bridges can become dislodged if you try to chomp into one. Thankfully, with dental implants, you can enjoy them without worrying that your prosthetics will pop out and embarrass you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still recovering from implant surgery and need to stick to softer selections, you can still make the most of the season\u2019s bounty by blending fruits into sweet, cool smoothies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food #2: Corn on the Cob<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corn can be particularly problematic for those with dental prosthetics because the kernels are notorious for sliding into the space between your gums and your restoration. However, with dental implants, this is less of a concern. There\u2019s no acrylic base pressed against your ridges or metal clasps anchoring your artificial teeth to trap the slippery seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s still possible for something to slide beneath your gumline. The safest way to enjoy this summer starch is to cut it off from the cob and eat it with a fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food #3: Barbecued Meats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The long, hot days of midsummer are perfect for inviting friends over for a backyard barbecue. If you have dentures or a dental bridge, though, you\u2019ll need to avoid overly tough meats because you could have a hard time chewing them with your artificial teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with dental implants have an easier time breaking down more gristly cuts because their restoration integrates with their jawbone for extra strength. If you\u2019re still worried that it\u2019ll be too difficult to pulverize your food sufficiently, you can try cutting it into smaller pieces for improved chewing and digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With dental implants in place, you can enjoy a well-rounded diet all summer long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
