Your speech may change slightly after getting full-arch hybrid dentures in Sweetwater, but this is generally temporary, and most people adjust quickly. The adjustment period is different for everyone and depends on the particulars of each person’s oral health and the type of implant they receive. Broadly speaking, because hybrid dentures are securely attached to dental implants, they stay firmly in place while you talk.
Why Hybrid Dentures Feel Different
Traditional dentures are prone to shifting and clicking while you are talking, forcing you to change how you speak. With hybrid dentures, you’ll be able to speak more naturally because they are firmly implanted into the jaw and don’t move. You may notice changes in how you speak after surgery, during the healing process, which is normal. There are ways to speed up the adjustment process, such as:
- Reading aloud
- Practicing speaking
- Having normal conversations
Most people eventually feel completely comfortable while talking after getting hybrid dentures, with the added confidence of knowing that they won’t suddenly move. Dr. Moore and the team at Moore Smiles will work with you to design your restoration so that it fits your mouth perfectly. If you have any concerns about your speech and hybrid dentures, talk to your dentist about your worries.
