Question:
Implant Dentures: I went to a dentist to get upper and lower implant dentures made.
With the second impression the dentist ripped one of my lower implants out. I only had two to begin with. He told me that I could still have great holding and proper dentures with only that one implant. I believed him.
When the dentures were done the bottom had a hump on the gum. They don't fit and they are bulky. They changed the shape of my face and he got $3,900 ... and I have nothing. What can I do to get good dentures? ... Visitor from IN
Answer:
Go back to dentist, explain your concerns.
If an implant came out with an impression it wasn't integrated into the bone. So usually the surgeon that
placed it will replace it for free.
If you don't like the dentures why did you approve them to be processed? I am sure the dentist did try in his appointments with you to evaluate the looks and bulkiness. You must have liked them at one point.
If the dentist is made aware of your concerns they should all be addressed. If he won't work with you, get a second opinion.
