Reply to Screw-in teeth to hold dentures

Hi I knew a woman who tried the screw in teeth and they hurt so much she had to have them taken out. I to am having alot of trouble with my bottom partial. I did have all my top teeth taken out and they are doing quite well. I keep going back to have the bottoms made more comfortable but so far its been terrible. I have lost alot of weight because of the partial to. but I am hanging in there and hoping for the best. try to talk to other people who have had the screw ones in before you do that I heard its very painful

I'm sorry to hear about you having problems with your bottom dentures also. What do we do? Some people are so fortunate and don't have any problems what so ever. Than there are people like you and I and the others who wrote about their terrible discomfort and loss of weight. I have lost approx. 20 pounds because of it all! If you read the other posts on here one of them says she has lost approx. 50 pounds. I wish there were an answer. Please keep me informed if you can and I will you if I find out anything else. Take care of you.

Please have your dentist check and make sure you have enough bone to support screw in lower dentures. I had mine done at Loma Linda and they lasted several years, but when had to be removed (metal fatigue) left me with almost no bone and even bone replacement (coral derivative) is not sufficient to hold screw ins.

Yes, it very painful at first to have dental implants.  I had 4 implants put in in June,2009 and will not finish

up until Feb. 2010. My temporary bottom teeth feel real good now and I just hope the real ones will be the same.   I think it will all be worth it.
