Hybrid dental implants in Brentwood, TN (also called all-on-x or All-on-4®) really are the best of both worlds. They combine the practicality of dentures with the stability and longevity of dental implants.
All-on-X means we use approximately four to eight dental implants to secure an arch of replacement teeth. This arch will be smaller than a denture because your palate is not covered. It is a fixed, low-profile prosthetic.
We can often plan your hybrid dental implants in advance and place your new smile immediately after extractions. This stable solution means no rocking or tilting, no relines or adhesives. You can enjoy your favorite foods again and smile with confidence.
What Can I Eat After Hybrid Dental Implants in Brentwood, TN?
We strongly recommend sticking to soft foods for the first several weeks, foods that can be cut easily with a spoon. The food choice may be too complex if you need a knife.
For the first few months, the implants heal and integrate into the jawbone on a cellular level. During this period, the stability of your hybrid dental implants will fluctuate, weakening before strengthening. Because of this, it’s best to use caution until integration and healing are complete.
Of course, the healing period is a great time to indulge in southern cooking, foods like mashed potatoes, soft green beans, and macaroni and cheese. You might also consider smoothies, yogurt, and creamed soups.
