I now have snap in lower plate - pain

Snaps in dentures can create amazing restoration.  It is still essential that there is good support of the denture to soft tissues of the mouth or have sufficient implant support to prevent rotation between implants.4-6 snaps are ideal for a lower denture.  Each and every patient must be carefully evaluated and have stability issues addressed.  If not done this can destry implant stability.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD OrganizationsDiplomat, American Academy of Pain ManagementDiplomat, American Board of Dental Sleep MedicineRegent & Fellow, International College of CranioMandibular OrthopedicsBoard Eligible, American Academy of CranioFacial PainDental Section Editor, Sleep & Health Journal

Hi:Unfortunately since there is only two implants, most of the support of the lower plate will be on the ridge.  In order to have a completely stable lower denture, you need at least 4 implants.  Its also best to have your dentist check the bite to make sure all is ok.Best,Dr. Maddahi

I am sorry you are having problems with your implant supported denture coming up in the back.  I strongly recommend that you return to the dentist you delivered it to you.  Your dentist will test all the parts of your new denture to see if they are secure.  Even if your denture is stable, it still can move slightly when you chew.  This slight movement can cause the denture to rub against your gums, which can cause sore spots.  Your dentist  will check your gums and also check the way your top and bottom teeth come together (your bite) to see if any adjustments would be beneficial.  Good luck!
