Receiving Implants: Things You Will Adjust To Very Quickly!

When you are through with receiving your dental implants, having them restored, going through the entire process, and then coming out the other side with a complete and functional smile, you may realize: Wow, things feel very different! While this may seem concerning at first because by “different” you probably think that everything seems “weird,” our Conroe, TX team reminds and reassures you that you’re going to get used to it with super speed! Consider a bit more.

Learning How To Use Your Complete Smile Again

When you don’t have all of your teeth for a while, you may start to chew differently because you have to make up for the missing teeth you once relied on. When you get your dental implants, you may find yourself dealing with new and strange sensations as your new, restored bite isn’t what you’re used to anymore. Teeth will tap together that haven’t for a while. You may notice that your need to shift into new postures to chew is no longer necessary. Fortunately, you will also adjust very fast!

Considering Your Replacements Your “Teeth”

You’ll have dental implants and either crowns or other restorations in order to complete your smile. This is very exciting! However, as you initially enjoy your full smile, you may think to yourself, “Hey! This is a complete smile but it certainly doesn’t feel like it’s full of my teeth!” Good news: That initial sensation will wear off. Soon, your brain and body will accept the replacement teeth and you’ll start to regard your smile as your own smile. There won’t be any wiggling, shifting, or issues to concern you, so you can sit back, relax, and just enjoy your grin!

Regaining Your Usual Speech Patterns

First, when you experienced tooth loss, you realized that without all of your teeth, your ability to articulate your thoughts verbally changed. Pronouncing each consonant suddenly became a challenge but you made a shift to compensate. Now, by receiving dental implants, you will be looking at another shift: You will have your complete smile back, though it will include implants and restorations. At first, it may feel foreign and you will realize how much your movements changed in order to deal with tooth openings. Fortunately, your brain and tongue will adapt very quickly and you’ll be speaking clearly (and comfortably again) in no time.
