Reply to Screw-in teeth to hold dentures

I,too, have had a very hard time keeping my bottom full denture in, no matter what I use. I have to remove them to eat or drink because they just float out. As a result, I have lost approx. 50lbs. and have become very self-conscious and don't wear them at all anymore. I haven't heard of the procedure you are referring to but am interested in hearing how you make out (should you decide to do it) with the screw-in teeth to hold your bottom denture in. Good luck and keep the rest of us out here posted if you can. Thanks.

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 had one of my implants to get infected. It was removed and a little bone was put in place and another implant was put in.  It was not a big deal in relation to all the other process. 

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.
