How Do Implant Dentures Affect My Ability To Eat and Speak?

Struggling to chew with your dentures? Dental implants can restore your natural chewing ability, letting you enjoy all your favorite foods again. Watch our video to learn how we can help you confidently bite into that apple.

One of the primary reasons people seek our help is that they struggle to chew with their dentures. While they might manage softer foods like steamed broccoli or mashed potatoes, chewing something like a steak is often out of the question because their dentures move around. Traditional dentures are held in place by suction or adhesive, which provides minimal stability.

A common question I receive is, “How can I chew better?” The solution often lies in stabilizing your dentures with dental implants. By placing implants underneath your denture or stabilizing a bridge with implants, we can significantly improve your chewing ability. With regular dentures, you may only regain about 10% of your natural chewing ability, but with dental implants, we can restore almost 100% of that function.

My goal is to see you confidently bite into an apple—something that becomes possible with the stability provided by dental implants. If you’re frustrated with dentures that don’t allow you to chew properly, give me a call. I’m confident we can help you regain your ability to chew and enjoy your meals again. I’d love to see you bite into that apple!
