A Comprehensive Solution for Tooth Replacement
There are two stages in the nutrition program after All-on-6 in Turkey. The first one is the 15-day period immediately after the operation. In this period, the implants have just been placed in the jaw, and there are stitches in the gums. At this stage, you need to be very careful about nutrition. You should prefer soft and pureed foods.
In the second stage, your gums have healed, and your risk of peri-implantitis has decreased. Now, the osseointegration process has started. At this point, if you think that you are fully healed and return to your old diet, your implant is likely to fail. This is because the bone density has not yet increased around your implant, and your implant has not yet become one with your jaw. This process takes between 4 and 6 months, depending on the patient.
Do not worry! During this process, you will not continue to feed on pureed food. It will be enough to avoid hard foods and protect the gums from trauma. We will continue to explain more detailed information and tips.
The food you eat immediately after All-on-6 should be very nutritious but in pureed or liquid form. The stitches have not yet closed, and the wounds are very fresh. They are vulnerable to infection and trauma. You should take great care to protect the implants and ensure that they do not move. You should increase the amount of protein and calcium in your diet.
In this process, you can add dishes such as a soft omelette, soft cheeses, yoghurt, tofu, mashed potatoes, and avocado puree to your diet.

After having your All-on-6 dental implant in Antalya, you should stay away from foods that will tire your jaw and gums and cause your implant to move for 6 months. We have compiled the foods that you can easily eat during this 6-month period for you. You can consume completely smooth foods from this list within the first 15 days after surgery. The important thing here is to consume warm food and drinks and avoid damaging the implants.
Foods you can eat after All-on-6: fish, salmon, meatballs, pulses, porridge, hummus, well-cooked quinoa, oatmeal, pancakes, pasta varieties, soups, creamy polenta, milkshake (without strawberries because of the seeds), cream cheese, almond milk, very well-cooked vegetables and pulses, melon, mango, banana, mousse, smoothie, etc.
After All-on-6 in Antalya, you should avoid some foods as recovery is still ongoing.
You should avoid hard foods such as hazelnuts, peanuts, and seeds.
Tiny grains such as poppy seeds, black cumin seeds, and sesame seeds, and foods that can get stuck in the operation area.
Sticky foods such as gum, caramel, soft candy, and Turkish delight.
Intense spices.
You should avoid irritating foods and drinks such as cola, vinegar, and carbonated drinks.
Eating a balanced diet after your All-on-6 implants allows your implants to heal faster. A good diet will support faster healing and help keep your implants healthy for many years. Here are some simple but important tips to facilitate healing:
A diet rich in protein helps tissues to heal. Calcium ensures the development of bones and facilitates the adhesion of implants. Vitamins support healing. Drinking plenty of water reduces swelling in your gums. Take your meals regularly and adjust your portions by balancing carbohydrates, protein, fat, and vitamins.
There are some rumours that dairy products should not be used after dental implants. However, there is not enough evidence and studies to support this argument.
Soft, mushy rice does not cause any damage to your dental implants. Undercooked, rice grains can get stuck in the surgical site. This may cause infection due to limited cleaning, or the implant may dislodge when trying to remove the grain of rice. For this reason, it is useful to be cautious with grainy foods during the healing period.
Unpopped corn kernels and their shells can damage the implant site. Therefore, choose softer snacks for the first 6 months. Afterwards, if your dentist approves, there is no harm in consuming popcorn.
