Eat Right, Eat Well With Dental Implants

June 1, 2017
average cost of teeth whitening

Which of the following would you like to be able to eat:

☐ Corn on the cob

☐ Apples

☐ Steak

☐ Chicken

☐ Beef jerky

☐ Steamed carrots

☐ Chewy caramels

☐ Taffy

You may not like all the foods on this list, but we are guessing that you would prefer to continue eating the ones that you do like for years to come.

Then again, if you have traditional dentures, then you may just want to be able to eat all the foods that you enjoy again.

Dr. Ron Receveur and our team at New Albany Implants want to help. Ask us about getting dental Implants as part of your teeth replacements. Call 888-469-3982 or contact us online to schedule a consultation at our dentist office in New Albany, IN.

Eating Should Be Enjoyable

Think back to when you had a mouth full of healthy teeth. You probably didn’t give much thought to whether you could eat something. Instead, you probably were more concerned with deciding what you wanted to eat.

Eating can be one of life’s pleasures. There’s nothing like sitting down to a home-cooked meal with your family. At the same time, dining out with your spouse or your friends can be great, too.

Any meal is better when you can enjoy the food as well as the company.

Too often, people take for granted that they will be able to eat whatever they want, whenever they want. Then they lose teeth, get dentures, and learn that eating isn’t quite as easy as it used to be.

When you have traditional braces, you can learn to bite with about 50 pounds of pressure, according to multiple studies. An average human bite is around 200 to 250 pounds of pressure. That means someone with traditional braces has lost at least 75 percent of his or her biting force.

Do you think that affects what you can eat?

With traditional dentures, going to a potluck or trying that new restaurant becomes a little more complicated. Rather than looking for something you want, you start looking for things that you can eat.

Softer foods, like mashed potatoes or soup, may be the better option (or the only option sometimes), but you probably don’t want to eat mushy meals all the time.

Even eating something like a steak becomes more complicated with dentures. You have to cut smaller pieces and be more deliberate about how you chew it. With your limited bite force, it may take more effort than you are used to.

Don’t Forget About Nutrition

This is another aspect of eating that may be lost when you have dentures.

In your effort to find things that you can eat, you may not be eating foods with the nutrition that you need.

This isn’t a new concern. In studies going back at least 30 years, researchers determined that many people with traditional dentures were not getting the nutrition they need for long-term health.

A Solution To Your Eating Problems

You may be missing teeth, but you can eat what you want to eat. You can eat the foods that are both delicious and nutritious.

That is if you get dental implants along with your dentures.

As you can tell from our name — New Albany Implants — this a huge part of what we do. When patients get dental implants to secure their dentures, bridges, and crowns, they are able to continue eating the foods that they want to eat.

We’ve heard from so many patients who have told us how getting implants make a big difference in their quality of life.

Dentures, by themselves, only replace the natural crowns of your missing teeth. They are not anchored to your jawbone. This makes them unstable and that makes it difficult to generate the power needed to eat many foods.

Dental implants replace the roots of your lost teeth. The implants are placed in your jaw. When your dentures are attached to your implants, you have a connection from your teeth replacements to your jaw.

With dental implants, you can generate more power. Many patients regain 90 percent or more of their biting force as a direct result of getting implants as a part of their teeth replacements.

Are You Eating What YOU Want?

If not, then it’s time you called 888-469-3982 or filled out our online appointment form. Dr. Ron is ready to help at our New Albany, IN, dentist office.

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
