\"Model<\/a>Are you ready to say goodbye to slipping and irritation permanently? Implant dentures in Rockledge are for you. You won\u2019t have to rely on suction or an adhesive to hold your denture in place. Dental implants<\/a> will anchor it to your jawbone. You\u2019ll enjoy a nearly perfect replica of your natural teeth; however, it\u2019s going to take a few days to adjust to your implant dentures. Don\u2019t worry, here are 5 tips to make the transition period a breeze.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Manage Your Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you choose a traditional implant denture or All-On-4, your mouth will be sore for a few days. You can manage it using an OTC pain reliever. Your discomfort should improve after 3-4 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Limit Your Chewing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you can\u2019t wait to bite into a juicy hamburger, you will need to stick to softer foods for a few days. It\u2019s best to choose food that requires minimal chewing, so skip those that are hard or chewy. After your discomfort improves, you can resume your regular diet. However, limit how often you have foods that require a lot of chewing because they will put more wear and tear on your denture. If you can\u2019t resist a steak, cut tough meats into smaller pieces to make them easier to chew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Talking will Take Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will never have to worry about your denture moving or falling out when talking, but it will feel a little weird at first. As they say, practice makes perfect, so don\u2019t avoid chatting with a friend because you\u2019re concerned about slurring your words. The more you talk, the quicker you\u2019ll adjust. You can also read aloud or sing your favorite song for extra practice to speak clearly and confidently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t Forget to Brush and Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although your new smile won\u2019t be subject to cavities, it is still vulnerable to infection. While dental implant failure is rare, it\u2019s often caused by a preventable infection called peri-implantitis. Brushing and flossing will safeguard your investment from infections and prevent unwanted odors to ensure your implant denture lasts for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Visit Your Dentist Semi-Annually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants have over a 95% success rate. They are proven to last for 30 years or more with the right care. Besides brushing and flossing, their lifespan also relies on routine attention from your dentist. Schedule a cleaning and a checkup every 6 months to prevent future complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may take time to get used to your new dentures in Rockledge, but you\u2019ll soon forget they aren\u2019t your real teeth. Your implant dentist will explain everything you need to know about your journey to a confident, complete smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
