Question:
Problem with Dentures: I am 24 and i just got my dentures. But I have one big problem.
I am what they call a gagger. I have an open top plate, full top and bottom denture.
Would implants take care of my problem or do you have any ideas. ...Visitor from MI
Answer:
Most patients that are gaggers can not tolerate the upper denture base going to the back of the mouth.
If the palate of the denture is removed, it will solve the gagging problem, however, now the denture will not be retentive. The only way to correct this is with dental implants.
Also, with dentures at such a young age you will see resorption (bone melting) that occurs over the years. Dental implants will prevent this bone loss and help you function and eat much better
