Dentist help /implants

Just looking for a bit if advice on how I can get this sorter out.

I had all my bottom teeth taken out. And have had implants. There's 2 screw bits ( implants) then my denture clips on to the screw. But when I eat they pop of.i then have teeth jumping about in my mouth as well as food I then have to clip them down whilst I'm eating i then end up with food trapped in them . So I have to take them alot .

I went to dentist to check he made sure they were clipping in place properly. And I did it myself as well. I chewed on one of the cotton things dentist use . And they did not pop out . I teeth in all day fine. As soon at I eat actual food they pop out again.

Dentist is saying once I get my top teeth out and new dentures for my top teeth. It will change my bite . So it won't pop of anymore . I really don't want to be having all my top teeth out until I'm happy with the bottom teeth. I think the part in the denture that attaches to the implant needs changing to a tighter one.

Dentist keeps saying I Need to wear them more. But their going to keep popping of regardless of how much I wear them. I feel like hes not listening.

I'm meant to be having top teeth out on Tuesday but I'm thinking to say council it . Until yhr bottom are properly sorted

I would guess you only have front teeth at the top and no back ones. That means when you bite you are only going to bite on your front teeth. This will always tip the bottom teeth out at the back .
When you get a full set you will bite all the way to back teeth and lower teeth should not tip or move then.

No I have back an d front teeth. But also I feel they could not move anyway. Because they are a fixed denture not loose ones . Thry clip on

The problem is they need to be removed for cleaning and if the fixtures are too tight it is impossible to get them out.
If it is a ball shaped fixture on the implant it is easy to replace for a tighter fixture , but , in general, if dentures move a lot whilst eating the bite is almost always the cause .

Interested in this thread?

I should be able to take them out for cleaning etc . But there should be some preasure felt as I do so .they should not be overly easy to remove . There should be a bit of tension as I take then out. They definitely should not be popping out when I eat. That the point of the implants. If they are just going to pop out when ever I eat that's been a waste of 6k just on my bottom teeth so far .

Sorry I missed this part. That's what im hoping he will do . But I don't think he's hearing me. I think I'm going to call on Monday day. Council Tuesday appointment and just say I'm not doing the top until the bottom ones are tightened
