Although they\u2019re certainly effective, they\u2019re no longer your only method of tooth replacement. Nowadays, you can rebuild your smile with implant dentures. They\u2019ll give you a set of pearly whites that looks, feels, and acts just like your old one! Of course, you\u2019ll need to take some time to adjust them. Read on to learn what to expect while adjusting to implant dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Difference Between Implant Dentures and Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve never heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geromeandpatricedds.com\/dental-implants.html\">implant dentures<\/a> before, you may be wondering how they differ from traditional ones. Well, traditional dentures are designed to rest on top of the gums to replace your missing teeth. They\u2019re held in place with natural suction or denture adhesive. Meanwhile, implant dentures are rooted in place using four precisely positioned dental implants. Since the titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone, they provide unmatched stability and durability. Additionally, they stimulate the jawbone and help prevent its deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect During the Adjustment Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can reap the benefits of implant dentures, you\u2019ll need time to adjust to them. Here are a few things you can expect during your recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of getting dental implants requires oral surgery. Since the procedure is quite invasive, you\u2019ll need to stick to a soft-food diet for the first few days following your surgery. Make sure you take small bites of soft foods (i.e., yogurt, pudding, oatmeal, scrambled eggs). Although you can return to your normal diet as soon as you feel up for it, you should continue to exercise caution with harder and crunchier foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many denture-wearers know how difficult it is to speak while the appliances are moving around in the mouth. Luckily, you shouldn\u2019t have those problems with implant dentures. Because they\u2019re secured in the jawbone, they\u2019ll stay right where they belong while you smile, talk, and laugh throughout the day. Believe it or not, most patients don\u2019t have a hard time adjusting to speaking with implant dentures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional dentures require a complex oral hygiene routine. You need to remove the prosthetics every night, clean them, and soak them while you sleep. On the other hand, implant dentures can be cared for just like natural teeth! All you have to do is brush twice a day, floss daily, and rinse regularly using an ADA-approved mouthwash. It\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, implant dentures have a quicker and easier adjustment period than traditional dentures. If you\u2019re ready to rebuild your smile, contact your implant dentist today to get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Gerome and Patrice Family Dentistry, we are passionate about helping patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
