It was recently the 4th of July, but you probably couldn\u2019t celebrate it with your favorite summer foods. Besides softer stuff like mashed potatoes and baked beans, many of this season\u2019s specialties require intense chewing. However, you can restore your smile and participate in summer cuisine: just get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keysdentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>! These tooth replacements would give you the strength for even the toughest fare. Read on to learn dental implants\u2019 effect on meals and three summer foods they\u2019d enable you to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Help You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may know, an implant works by fusing with your jawbone. Once its titanium rod is fitted into a jaw socket, new bone grows to hold it steady. As a result, it won\u2019t slip the way dentures and bridges do sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping it in place, this fusion also causes your implant to act like a natural tooth. After all, the titanium base is solid and durable. Once properly fused, the implant will restore not only your smile but also much of your chewing ability. Consequently, you\u2019ll be able to eat foods you couldn\u2019t with missing teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Summer Foods Would Be Back on the Menu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Implants allow you to chew and swallow many summer favorites. Three of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corn on the Cob<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many summer barbeques feature corn on the cob as a side dish. Thankfully, your implants have the power to chew it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, though, you should be careful. Kernels can often get stuck between an implant (or natural tooth) and your gums. That said, consider cutting the corn off the cob instead of eating directly from it. You\u2019re less likely to deal with frustrating kernels that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tough Meats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they restore up to 90% of your original chewing force, implants can handle most meats. Whether you\u2019re having a steak, burger, or hot dog, you could chow down with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, there are a couple of things you should remember. First, start with softer, medium-rare meats while adjusting to your new smile. Also, lay off the hot dogs \u2014 they have saturated fats that can lead to gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crisp Fruits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implants let you eat crisp and juicy fruits too. You\u2019d be in the clear whether it\u2019s watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, or oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just try to avoid hard fruits in the first few weeks after your implant procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019re already halfway through summer, talk to your local dentist to see if implant treatment this season can help you enjoy great food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keysdentist.com\/\">Cosmetic &amp; Restorative Dentistry of the Keys<\/a> is based in Big Pine Key, FL.
