How Can Dentures Or Implants Be Fitted Without Any Side Effects?

Hi! I have a friend of mine who recently had all of her teeth extracted in February 2010. Since then, she has tried to wear dentures but they have not worked out too well. We are looking at getting implants. However, recently whenever she has her dentures in for a few hours, her mouth hurts for the next 2-3 days. Her gums swell and she experiences thick saliva. The x-rays do not show anything and the dentist cannot find anything wrong either. We don't know where else to go. Do you have any suggestions?

hanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain or swelling over the mucosa can be because of the rough surfaces or undercuts in the denture. Consult a good prosthodontist and get it evaluated. If you are not at all happy with the dentures and if it is loose then you can get an implant supported dentures, But the cost of the implants will be more than the normal dentures. For the placement in the oral cavity, you need to have sufficinet bone support, Get a CT done to check the density of the bone and if it is fine go ahead with the treatment,
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
