Can I get 10 implants removed and go to dentures?

Question

I had ten implants placed 1/21. Crowns delivered 5/21. All posterior. Bad bite registry led to bad occlusion. Had permanent crowns placed, no provisionals. Many adjustments. Practice said is best we can do (for $50K). Went to another dentist who burred it all down, crowns and teeth 4x. Bite is gone. Hitting all anterior and canines. Lost gums and bone. Want $50K ++ to restore. Can I get 10 implants removed and go to dentures? Don’t have all the money in the world and now swelling, losing teeth.

I am sorry you have had this experience. Your posterior bite (occlusion) is very important for protecting your front teeth and for function. I think you may have a few options, however I would highly recommend seeking the care of a prosthodontist, a dental specialist trained in complex restorative care and occlusion. You may have been the hands of a well meaning dentist that is unsure of managing your occlusion, especially if your vertical dimension needed to be restored. Find a prosthodontist in your area, you can look at the website for the American College of Prosthodontist for someone in your area.

Technically, you can transition from implants to dentures however from what you describe, it is unlikely that your specific case would justify doing so. Implants offer great advantages over dentures. When they integrate, they help promote bone regeneration at implant sites. In contrast, dentures typically cause up to 70% bone loss within the first several years of use because they sit atop gum tissue and do not provide the direct stimulation to the jawbone as normal teeth or implants do.
