You can usually eat after two hours after a dental implant has just been placed. Just after an implant, the blood clot in the wound is still coagulating and is relatively fragile, so it is generally recommended to eat after two hours and not to chew on the side of the implant. Try to eat fluids or semi-fluids, as well as cool, soft foods. In addition, there is also the factor of anesthesia to consider, dental implants are generally used in local infiltration anesthesia or block anesthesia. It takes 2 to 3 hours for the local anesthesia to wear off. If you eat while the anesthesia is still in effect, it is easy for you to bleed and bite into the wound, lips, etc. without realizing it, so it is generally recommended to wait until the local anesthesia is gone before eating. It is recommended that you consult with your doctor about the precautions to be taken after dental implants.
