My father has lower denture and has a problem keeping them in. The dentist has suggested that he get 4 implants to hold them in at about $8700.00 dollars. Has anyone had this done? Does it work? Is it worth the expense.
Lower dentures are awful. There is no palate available for suction and there is usually a limited amount of bone. These things combined with the location of the tongue's connection to the floor of the mouth present a lot of issues with fitment.Country Bumpkin 3 said:

Yes, that's an appropriate price, no issues there.Country Bumpkin 3 said:
Price was for using the current denture.Does this price sound inline for the area? Hate driving to Houston
Best in town. He had to re-do the implants that another well know local specialists did on my son. It was a long lengthy, painful process so be sure to pick someone to do it right the first time.LSCSN said:
dont like the fact I have an implant, however its never given me problems and I am glad I got it when I did instead of trying to make a bad tooth work.
Dr. Wiley locally does great work, however it is pricy.
my recollection is that it was not especially painful.Jet Blue said:
What was pain level during the process?
