Mini Implants Don't Fit Well: What Can I Do?
Question:
I had mini-implants (4) on my bottom gum and bottom dentures made to fit them. The dentures never fit correctly so the DDS in AZ where I then lived, ground them down (dentures) and told me to use denture adhesive which didn't work either...I'm now living in NJ and the implants have actually dug holes into my inside bottom lip to the point where I can't eat or speak without tremendous pain. What can I do?
