I have been wearing dentures for 12 years and had 4 sets of dentures, None of the lowers were tight or secure, I'm thinking about having the lowers permanently set. What type if implants would I need? Do you have any information on the subject?

hi huxlly, i think you should have to use dental adhesives such as fixodent. Here i will tell you the advantages of adhesives. so you can get the general idea about and can take decision about you lower dentures.

Advantages of adhesives

   Effectively fills the interface gap between a denture and underlying jaw.

   Provides a sense of security with wearing dentures, even with well fitting dentures when additional confidence is desired.

   Facilitates acceptability and builds confidence with wearing new dentures.

   Reduces food impaction beneath dentures by closing prosthesis borders.

   Helps an individual open their mouth wider for more confident chewing (increases the chewing stroke) rather than eating with small strokes to compensate for concerns about the potential for a denture coming loose.

   Decreases the irritation and chafing of mouth tissues from habits such as grinding teeth together (parafunctional activities).

   Facilitates wearing dentures for individuals with persistent dry mouth (xerostomia).

Thank You
