What Are the Pros and Cons for the Dental Implant Pins for Dentures?
I currently have lower dentures and am considering the implant pins. My dentures are very uncomfortable and I don't enjoy eating anymore. I cannot eat steak, chicken or anything chewy because of the pain from my dentures. I have had them for 3 years. I have little to no bone on my lower jaw but my surgeon says the pins are a good option for me.

Uncomfortable ill fitting dentures, pros and cons of dental implants
The cons are easy, there are none. The pros, there are lots of them. Being able to eat and chew comfortably. Being able to chew your food better, no need for adhesive, less sore spots. I could go on and on with the pros. I have had many patients have implants placed to stabilize dentures and each and every one says they wished they had it done sooner. Good luck.

In the recent past, removing all of the teeth and having a full denture made was the final solution. I've found that only about 10% of patients with dentures can actually eat much with them or don't mind them Those people are the ones who eat corn and think that dentures are the best thing they ever did.
The other 90% feel bad because they can't eat much, the...

Dental implants can only help your denture
The only Cons would be cost and the need for surgical procedure. Any surgical procedure has risks but if you use a competent oral surgeon you should have no issues.
The Pros are great: high retention of denture (no need for adhesive), better stability and ability to chew, more confidence that your denture will not come up or fall out, less sore spots due to less denture movement.
Since you mentioned that you have very little bone, then you will likely only have room for two...

Snap On Dentures
Most definitely. What you need are Mini Dental Implants with a denture customized and adapted with O-Rings. The head of the Mini Dental Implants and the O-Rings placed at the dentures creates the "Snap" effect when you place them. These dentures have "no palate" and they can "Snapped On" and "Snapped off" from your jawbone.
You will be able to eat and chew anything you want. Dentures glue may be not strong enough to bite certain foods and a problem that arises is that...
