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

From everything I understand, having a bottom denture is much harder to deal with than the top. What about getting an implant? It would give the dentist something to secure the denture to so it can hold better. I just got the upper denture, still can't eat and I'm going to need 2 partials on the bottom. I still have my front 5 teeth on the bottom and that's what my dentist is going to secure the partials to, using a screw in method. I'm probably not too much help, but keep asking. There has to be something that works without causing all the pain! Good luck.

Hi! I hope you have more luck with your top dentures. I fortunatly am doing fine with them. It's the bottom ones that are sooooo painful and NEVER fit! Whatever you do don't let anyone take out those 5 bottom teeth you have! Fight for them! I am serious! If I had 5 teeth left on the bottom I'd be doing what you're going to do. Use them to hook a bottom partial to! Good luck to you and I and probably a lot of other people envy your 5 teeth you have left!!! Please keep us posted.
