In the worst case scenario of both dentures and implants failing and being unable to chew due to tooth loss, what kind of foods could you eat to get enough calories to maintain your weight? Can pretty much any food be grinded down in a blender? Are blenders strong enough to grind down meats, fruits and veggies?

yep. baby food could be the answer. But, my granddad had no teeth and he ate everything. Meat, he just cut it small like for a child, and chewed just like he had teeth. Said it worked for him. He had false teeth, but, didn't like them.

You mean you don't have any teeth because of the failure of dentures and implants. Well, about all you can do is as people say get use to trying it with your gums.. Your gums will get hard and it want hurt as bad. I'm sure that if drink a lot that Sure is suppose to be good for you and I 'm sure blending the same food you would normally eat would have the same amount of calories probably need to take good vitamins along with your food.
Can't they go in and build your gums up where you can get fitted for implants or dentures. You know they have screw in teeth, they fix your gum with a metal device and then you can have beautiful teeth and if one breaks just screw it out and screw in another. Best of luck With Your Problem. the dentist will probably find something to help your gums. Have a happy New Year

You can blend anything to a puree - I made all baby food that way when my kids were small. Custards, puddings, soups, stews, are all very nutritious and easy to eat.
However, a person who has no teeth or dentures usually adapts by cutting food into smaller pieces, cooking it until it is softer and more tender, eating more of the softer foods generally, etc. There are many options and it isn't difficult to get enough nutrition without eating the tougher foods.

Lots of smoothies! And if babies can get all their food from blended food, why can't adults? I would imagine protein shakes would have to substitute for meats. But, fruits and vegies could go in the blender.

I would grind it and drink it through a straw. Most blenders will puree food, once it is cooked. Raw food/veggies won't work well in blenders.

Dentures do not fail, they don't fit. Which can be modified. Implants have a high percentage of not failing and if they do you can easily fix. If neither work...you may want to see a doctor if everything keeps failing.

basically all the nutrients you need can be put in a blender, i put ice in so I'm sure meat could added with liquid,the possibilities are endless.
