When can I eat solid foods again after surgery for dental implants?

Hello, I know this might be a stupid question, but this last Monday I had oral surgery where they had placed two titanium screws on both sides of my jaw for future teeth dental implants. I am wondering if I can eat regular food while these screws are in my mouth, or at the least how long till I should be able to eat normal food?

If the implants are bone level, submerged, your soft tissues will grow over them during the healing period. You may be wearing a full denture prosthesis now, in which case you can resume a normal diet now.
