How Denture Implants Can Help With Speech And Eating

Eat And Speak Better With Denture Implants

Speech
When some of your teeth are missing, it can be difficult to speak clearly. This is because the tongue, lips, and teeth all work together to form sounds and words. Without teeth, the tongue and lips have less to work with, which can cause slurred speech or difficulty pronouncing certain words.

Denture implants can help by providing a stable base for the tongue and lips to work against. Because the implants are anchored directly to the jawbone, they don't shift or move around as traditional dentures may. This means that patients can speak with greater clarity and confidence, without worrying about their dentures slipping or falling out.

In fact, studies have shown that denture implants can significantly improve speech in patients with missing teeth. One study published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry found that patients who received denture implants had better speech intelligibility than those who wore traditional dentures.

Eating
Missing teeth can also make it difficult to eat certain foods. This is because teeth are essential for biting and chewing, and without them, food can be difficult to break down and digest. This can lead to digestive problems, malnutrition, and a host of other health issues.

Denture implants can help by providing a strong, stable base for chewing. Because the implants are anchored directly to the jawbone, they can withstand much greater bite forces than traditional dentures. This means that patients can eat a wider variety of foods, including crunchy fruits and vegetables, tough meats, and chewy bread.

In fact, studies have shown that denture implants can significantly improve chewing ability in patients with missing teeth. One study published in the Journal of Oral Implantology found that patients who received denture implants had better chewing ability than those who wore traditional dentures.

Other Benefits
In addition to improving speech and eating, denture implants offer a host of other benefits as well. These include:

• Improved comfort: Because denture implants are anchored directly to the jawbone, they don't put pressure on the gums like traditional dentures can. This means that patients can wear them for longer periods of time without discomfort.
• Improved appearance: Denture implants look and feel like natural teeth, which can boost patients' confidence and self-esteem.
• Improved oral health: Missing teeth can lead to bone loss and gum recession, which can cause further tooth loss, loss of facial volume, and other oral health problems. Denture implants can help prevent these issues by stimulating the jawbone and supporting healthy gum tissue.

Denture implants can help avoid jawbone resorption.
