Screw-in teeth to hold dentures

Posted: September 27, 2009 11:33 am

I have tried everything you can think of and my lower dentures do not stay...I cannot eat with them on. I can only wear them approx. 1-2 hours a day and after that they hurt so badly. It has gotten to the point where my dentist suggested this form of screw-in type of teeth that the lower denture will somehow latch onto it and help hold them in place. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions. Believe me I have tried EVERYTHING you can think of...besides these screw-in type things. Thanks

They are post they put in your gums in the front.  Then the dentures have a small hole put in them, that line up with the post, to have the post go into.  The hole isn't all the way thru just deep enough for the post.  Good luck

I have the implants that hold my bottom teeth in place.  I am so glad I did it.  I don't have any problems with my teeth move all the time.  They tay in place so I don't have to worry about it.  I would difinitely do it again.  Best thing I've ever did since I received my dentures.

I just got top dentures because a root canal last February caused the tooth to fracture and become abscessed. The tooth was finally pulled and infection spread to all upper teeth and I was told they had to be pulled. Now the infection is in the bottom and dont wasnt bottom denture s.when I take my uppers out I look 30 years older. What do you suggest I only have 7 teeth left on bottom and their infected thanks to all these dentists the las t few years.

I hope everything is ok.  New here so I don't know if you have fixed your problem.  I had the same one, planning on getting the implants when I get my taxes.  In the mean time, I have been using a product that is called  Cushion Grip.  It is a thermosplastic denture adhesive you put in your dentures and it forms to your gum, change it every week - I have actually went longer.  No taste or ooze.   I can't eat or anything without it because my bottom dentures are so loose.  I work in a nursing home and a resident showed it to me when I got my dentures 2 yrs ago.

Dental implants are the way to go.I have had three to snap in lower denture for about ten years.No more pain from sore spots!I just recently had four mini dental implants put in for the upper so they would feel more natural.
