Good morning, @poppy67 I’m so sorry to hear about your dental issues with tooth implants. They aren’t for everyone and it’s unfortunate they weren’t successful for you.

But your upper denture is another story. With implanted supports to secure it in place you’re not having to rely on suction or adhesives. No pun intended, but this should be a snap to get used to if they fit properly. The advantage of having snap in dentures is to give more of a sense of permanent teeth for comfort and for chewing. So it’s really sad to hear. after all you’ve been through, that your denture isn’t comfortable.

Could you tell me a little more about what isn’t ‘quite feeling right’? When you close your teeth together slowly, are you feeling any one particular area more than another? Do they fill like too much in your mouth? How long have you had them?

Thank you for your response. I have a small mouth and they do feel as if my mouth is full. I’ve had them adjusted several times to fix those areas that feel they are touching more than other areas. But nothing seems to help. The top part feels unusually thick but my dentist says I need it that way due to serious bone loss. They rock a little bit back and forth, not bad, just a little. I’ve had them for 3 years. I don’t keep them in my mouth all day because They feel so uncomfortable. I always feel a sense of relief when I take them out. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
