SPOILED ROTTEN 0 Posted August 18, 2007 I don't have dentures, but if you have problems w/ chewing food have you thought about dental implants for your dentures??? It secures them better for better chewing force. JUst a thought!! If you have questions let me know about the implants. I am a dental assistant that works w/ a dentist who does them.. Not trying to sell just educate if you are interested. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitetulips45 0 Posted August 21, 2007 I don't have them yet, but do have partials. It is difficult for me to chew some meat. I have to take very small bits, but it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pix 4 Posted February 16, 2008 Ok, this is a fresh topic in my mind! Some of the ladies in the (mandatory) support group mentioned the fact that as it goes on there dentures got looser. That might be your problem. Go see your dentist and see if you just need to have them resized. The one lady (she had bypass) said it didn't feel like they didn't fit, she was just having problems chewing her food. Come to find out they were now to big for her. Amazing that you lose weight IN your mouth too. Go see your dentist and see if they just need to be refitted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfeiner 2 Posted February 16, 2008 I got a partial on the top that replaces some back teeth. I got it while I was on mushies and at the time thought that I wouldn't have needed the LB if I had known how I would hate aeting with the partial. I did get used toit eventually but I wish I would have spent more and got the implants. I ddidn't because my dental insurance won't pay for implants and does pay for dentures and partials (half) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
