Reply to Screw-in teeth to hold dentures

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.

I am in the process of  having implants which has been terrible.  It is so much better now and I believe I

will really like them when finished.  The question I have is it better to have them put in permant or be able

to take them out to clean.    gayle ferguson

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.
