I recently switched from dentures to implants and honestly, I feel like my speech got way clearer. Dentures always felt kinda bulky, you know, like I was talking around something. Implants feel more natural. Curious if others noticed this too or it's just me being picky...
I totally get what you're saying about dentures feeling bulky. My dad had dentures for years, and he always complained about how they made him feel like he was mumbling or slurring words sometimes. He switched to implants about a year ago, and honestly, the difference in his speech was noticeable pretty quickly. It wasn't like night and day immediately—took him a bit to adjust—but after a couple months, he sounded way clearer and more confident when talking.
I think part of it is just the way implants sit more naturally in your mouth, you know? Dentures always seemed to shift around slightly, especially when eating or speaking quickly. Implants stay put, so your tongue and lips don't have to keep adjusting all the time. You're definitely not being picky—it's a legit improvement that lots of people notice. Glad it's working out well for you too!
My experience was pretty similar. Dentures took me forever to get used to, and even then, I always felt like I was tripping over my words. Eating out was a whole ordeal—felt like my teeth were doing their own dance routine in there, haha. When I finally got implants, it wasn't instant magic either... took a few weeks of practice and patience. But gradually, talking felt natural again, and I stopped worrying about embarrassing slip-ups mid-conversation. Definitely worth the adjustment period, imo.
