🦷 Does Chewing Feel a Little Off After an Implant? Here Is Why That Happens.
Many patients assume treatment ends once the implant is placed. In reality, the balance afterward matters just as much. 🔍
The mouth works as one system. Teeth, jaw joint, and muscles all move together. Unbalanced chewing force or an opposing tooth in poor condition can shift pressure to one spot.
Implants also have less pressure sensitivity than natural teeth, so the adjustment period can feel unfamiliar at first.
A consultation can help patients understand what is normal during this process. 💡
