Adapting to Full Mouth Dental Implants with Denturly

A Life-Changing Smile, Backed by Expert Care

Full mouth dental implants are more than just a dental treatment — they’re a life-changing solution that restores confidence, function, and long-term oral health. At Denturly, we’re proud to provide the UK’s lowest cost full mouth dental implants  while providing exceptional, top-quality treatment and outstanding patient care.

If you’ve recently had implants fitted, or are preparing for treatment, it’s natural to wonder what the adjustment period will be like. Understanding the process, knowing what to expect, and following a few practical steps can make adapting to your new smile a smooth and rewarding experience.

Understanding Denturly’s Full Mouth Implant Process

Your journey starts with a full clinical assessment, where we use advanced 3D cone-beam CT scanning and digital impressions to create a personalised treatment plan.

On surgery day, our GDC-registered lead implantologist will carry out your procedure at a date and time that works best for you. For full arch solutions, the surgery typically takes two to three hours, and you will always leave the clinic with your immediate fixed teeth in place so you can smile and function straight away.

Over the next 8–12 weeks, your implants will integrate with your jawbone — a natural healing process known as osseointegration. Once our team confirms successful integration, we will rescan your teeth and gums to create your custom-made final bridge or implant restoration. This will be securely attached to complete your permanent, natural-looking smile. Each year thereafter, you’ll return to the clinic for your annual check-up to ensure your implants remain in excellent condition.

The Adjustment Period: What to Expect

Early Days After Surgery

Mild swelling, tenderness, or altered sensation in your gums is completely normal after your procedure. Following your aftercare plan, using cold compresses, and taking recommended pain relief will help you feel more comfortable.

Eating and Chewing

Initially, stick to soft foods such as mashed potatoes, soups, and yoghurt to protect your implants during healing. Gradually reintroduce firmer textures as advised at your follow-up appointments.

Speech Adjustments

You may notice subtle changes in your speech as your tongue and lips adapt to the new teeth. Reading aloud or practising simple speech exercises can help speed up the process.

Oral Hygiene Routine

Keeping your implants clean is essential. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, implant-safe floss, and an antimicrobial mouthwash. Our team will guide you on the best implant aftercare practices for long-term success.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

Adaptation takes patience. Attend your scheduled follow-ups, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and follow our dietary advice. Most patients feel fully comfortable within weeks, while complete healing and stability may take several months.

‍Long-Term Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants

Once you’ve adapted, your full mouth dental implants will look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You’ll be able to enjoy:

• Clear, confident speech
  
• A varied and balanced diet without restrictions
  
• Prevention of jawbone loss thanks to implant stimulation
  
• A smile designed to last for decades with proper care
