CONUS implants to replace dentures

[sarasue71]

I'm wondering if anyone has these and what your experience has been. I've had a full top denture and a lower partial for a year. My gums are healthy enough to consider implants and I'm just wondering if anyone has them, how long did you have to go without teeth? I'm wanting the best healing possible for each of the two procedures so I'm looking at a target of 8 months without teeth. To have stronger teeth that i can enjoy food with and feel my palate I'll be patient.

Hello sarasue71, I'm so happy and excited for you Most likely you will get temporary dentures right away. I'm in the process of getting full arch implant supported bridge for top and bottom. I have been on a pure diet since May 22. It's not such a big deal. I have a hand blender that when I add enough liquid to my food, chicken broth, milk, yogurt, it makes my food liquid enough so that I can swallow it easily. I make salmon and chicken. I open a can of tuna and pure a little mink with it so I can swallow without chewing. I eat solft foods like apple sauce, pudding, and yogurt . I also cook a whole bag of frozen vegetables in my microwave, then add a little milk and Smart Balance. When I pure it, it's easy to swallow. I try to think about getting enough protein to help heal the bone grafts and implants. It's well worth the effort so that I will have a nice smile
I hope you are doing well now.
Please feel free to let me know how your journey has gone.
Best wishes

Life is SO good now! I skipped the temporary dentures and went without teeth. My dentures were retrofitted to work between procedures. Now I smile and eat with confidence. Corn on the cob and apples are an absolute joy now. I hope your procedures go great as well!! It was worth everything
