Mini Implant Surgery Description

I am 52 years old. Upper denture x 6 years, lower x 2 yrs. I am more than healthy enough for dental surgery.
1. Are Dental implants and lupus mutually exclusive?
2. Or could i get a prosthetic that fits over the bone to stabilize the denture.? (I just love the way the bone in the lower jaw just seemed to disappear).
3. Is there a line of denture, or way to make the denture nicer - perhaps a way to pay more and actually get something of better quality. My
last doc did a wonderful job, but its time for a different fit and I want
to know what my options could be. ...Gloria in WI (answer)

All my teeth are falling apart. The Dr. said it is because one of the medicines that I take. So I was wondering if it would be better for me
to just have them removed and have false teeth or the kind that have posts and are put in the gums. Is there a dentist that will do this, I can not afford to keep getting them fixed. Thank you. ... Visitor from IL

I had all my teeth removed and immediate dentures done 4 years ago. Since that time they have never fit in my mouth. I have gone back alot of times to see the dentist but he says I just have "to get used to it and learn to live with the pain". I had bone shards coming through the gums for almost a year afterwards and I am not able to get the dentures to stop swelling up my gums. When I get them out it takes days if not a week for the swelling to subside to get them back in. The dentist has relined them and says there is not enough material left to try another reline. What do I do from here, I paid for dentures that never fit?? (answer)

I have worn a complete upper denture for at least 10 years now. I only have 6 natural lower teeth (3 each side) and wear a partial there. The 6 teeth are in bad shape and I know it will not be long before they have to go also. I have had trouble with both the upper denture and the lower partial since I have had them. I have been told that I just have to get use to them. I was also told that if I didn't like the upper denture that surely wouldn't like a lower one. My question is, with denture implants, does the upper implant cover the
entire roof of the mouth and does the lower implant cover the entire portion
under the tounge? Or, are they just the rim with the teeth similar to a
partial? I was told at my dentist office that it is the exact same as a
full denture except it attaches to the anchors that were implanted... Visitor from TN (answer)

I am 26 years old. I had extensive damage to my upper and lower teeth due to lack of care when I was a child. I brushed and brushed but my family could not afford to take me to the dentist. Now I have had all of my teeth in the back pulled 3 weeks ago. Upper and Lower are gone completely. I will have the rest of the upper teeth taken out in a few months to receive an immediate upper denture then a partial lower. I plan on getting implants but they tell me I may need a sinus lift. Can you tell me what that entails
and what if any thing I will have in my mouth after the procedure is done and how it will affect my looks. Also, what are the chances that due to my age I will not have to have a sinus lift. I am currently under the care of the OSU Dental Clinic in Columbus OH. I have noticed that my jaw looks like they are sunken in a little now. Will this continue to get worse over the next few months or will it practically stay the same until I get all surgeries done? With the sinus is it better to have a general anesthesia or just IV sedation. I am extremely afraid of dental work and I shook so bad last time they had to give me IV as well as the gas plus a valium. The dentist thought she had the gas up too high until she noticed it got worse
the less I got. I want to be healthy again, but I am so afraid of being uglier during this process and loosing my job as a waitress. ... Visitor from OH (answer)

- I have a full upper plate and that is satisfactory. I hold it in place with a little adhesive. I have only ten teeth on the bottom and my bone structure will not allow a conventional implant and a partial will just not work. ... Visitor from FL (answer)
- Gum disease and implants: I am writing this on behalf of my mom. She has always been plagued with gum disease for years. She extracted all her upper teeth due to this problem, and now recently wears a full upper denture. She is afraid to eat because she gags. She was always outgoing and because of the dentures she has stopped talking. I need to give mom back her smile with implants, but the dentist adamantly told her that it is impossible because there is no bone in her gums. He told her that the only way she could get implants is if the dentist wants to take her money knowing that it will not work. Mom was looking forward to implants, now she is severely depressed. She says her dentures looks like piano keys. What can be done to help her. ... Visitor from NY (answer)

- Dentures vs Partial vs Implants: My mother, who has worn a partial denture for the past few years, has been informed that she's going to lose all but three of her remaining teeth. She has been told that a new partial would be in her best interest; however, she's suffered from poor oral health and periodontal disease for years, and to invest in a new partial that's built around these
few remaining teeth seems risky. Can you advise, would it be better to pull her remaining teeth and have implants put it? ... Visitor from Colorado (answer)
- New Dentures or Implants: My brother got dentures 5 months ago. Since then his tongue
protrudes out of his mouth when he doesn't wear his dentures. He can't wear the bottom ones. Because of this his tongue hangs out of his mouth. He has been diagnosed with endentulous dyskinesia. He was told that medicine would not help. No one seems to know any thing about this problem with the tongue. Could you please advise us about whether he should have a new set of dentures made and two implants to hold them or get 6 implants and have a prosthesis made that is attached to the implants that doesn't come out? His tongue doesn't come out when he has his dentures in. ... Visitor from AL (answer)
