Screw-in teeth to hold dentures

thanks for the info

To anyone needing help on screw in type dentures.

First you need to be able to afford IMPLANT surgery

 it is very expensive and mostly Ins. will not want to pay

and the right Surgeon and dentist to perform your work.

Getting the implants placed in the bone is a very painful

and takes much time to heal before placing on the denture.

thing but then getting the denture placed is very important

fit is a must.  I have had IMPLANTS for over 20 years

and mine is not with a denture snap in but wish it were.

Mine is the screw on Prosthetic.  I have met a person

who has the 2 screws with the snap on denture and says

its the best thing ever and he eats anything he wants.

I do not have anything to allow denture to sit on my

gums so this is why I can't go to the denture with

snap ons to the screws.  Maybe this is why those of

you are having trouble with pain...If your denture sits

on your gums and you don't have comfort there I can

see why you would have trouble.  I can't stand anything

touching my tissue as it is so tender.

Only a dentist can remove mine and this is why I wish

I had the snap outs at least I could take them out.

If you can find a good surgeon and dentist who will

work together to get your work done you may have

great sucess.

As one who understands any of your Pain jsut want

you to be encouraged.  I have to chop my foods now

as I do have one implant that has broken down and

they all have to work together.  This is no fun either.

This is Radical stuff to consider.

I hated hearing how the one who had to have hers

removed had to do so.  I would like to hear what

she went through to have this done and if they had

to replace bone when they took the screws out?

I don't know if we can read others post e-mails

answers?  I am new at this.

If you can find a good surgeon and dentist that

will work together to place your IMPLANT screws

and fit your denture over this you will like these.

I have a friend who just got this done and really

is enjoying it.  You NEED to have gums where

denture will fit with comfort is what I understand

in order to do this.  You can at least remove these

yourself.  I have had Implants for over 20 years

and mine are screwed in permanent and only the

dentist can remove these which is a pain.

They tell me I can't get the snap offs becasue I can't

take anything sitting on my gums tissue.

I have a prosthetic that sits ontop of 5 posts

that are implanted in my lower jaw.  I could

not stand anything touching my tissue it has

shrunk so bad and is tender.  I have one implant

failing me now so also in pain and not much can

be done about this.

This is a tough choice to decide to have anything placed

in jaw bone.  I had mine done at age 50 and would not

have wanted to go without teeth.

I chop most of my foods now as I am having trouble

eating/chewing without pain...so I suppose any of these

can break down at some point.

I just keep a couple of those small choppers sitting on

my kitchen cabinet and chop even all my salads down

to where its as though someone chewed them for me.

It is not fun having to eat this way.  But it is doeable

and will help keep you from weight loss.

If you want you can e-mail me and we can talk

about this if this is not a clear message.
