Does Teeth Implants feel different, or will they feel like real teeth??
Question: I'm just wondering about this when it comes to eating.
Answers: I'm a dentist.
I don't have implants, so I cannot tell you precisely how they feel.
There is, however, something important to consider:
Natural teeth are anchored to the bone by the periodontal ligament. Within this ligament are pressure receptors that tell the brain how much pressure is being applied to the tooth (this is why your brain knows to chew hard on beef jerky and softly on ice cream.)
Obviously, dental implants are not surrounded by such a sensory apparatus, hence there is minimal capacity for you to tell how much pressure is being applied to the tooth.
For single implants adjacent to natural teeth, this isn't much of a problem because the adjacent teeth tend to do the job. It is possible, however, to damage an implant or cause its connection with the bone (osseointegration) to fail by traumatically biting on it.
For all practical purposes, however, they will feel like natural teeth.
At first they feel different, but then you get used to them.
i can't tell you from personal experience, but i've never had patient who has said that it feels different. i mean, of course, it's going to feel a little different because there isn't any nerves in an implant, but there is stymulus of the bone...good question.
It should feel no different than your real teeth. Probably the next best thing. Beats having a partial that's for sure. I don't think I would have it any other way. When the time comes, that will be my choice.
