I had my tooth removed and the bone graft done at the same appt. I ate blended soups and drank smoothies for almost a week. I only needed to take pain meds once on the first night(can't remember if it was Tylenol or Advil) Then I was able to eat a somewhat normal diet but no chips, nuts and crunchy foods for a few weeks. After that, I waited 6 months while the bone graft became strong enough for the implant. After the first week it was easier than I thought!
