Hi Dr Fahey. I have recently had a bridge attached to my implants. I had a denture of four teeth replaced after 40 years. I have an awful lisp and I can’t see it going. I know it will take time for me to get used to the difference of how the teeth feel as opposed to my dentures but at the moment all I can feel is this thick block in my mouth and my tongue feels it has no room in my mouth! How long am I likely to have this lisp and should the bridge feel that thick at the back of it? Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me by offering some advice.
