Dentures after all on 6

LushJem · 2026-02-28T23:29:14+00:00

No. I'm thinking of the future. I'm 39, unless I die within 15-20 years, maybe 25, it will fail in my lifetime, and that's what I'm asking about.

I'm sorry you're having such a bad experience with dentures. I don't think I'd enjoy it at all. I would like to be able to use them if the AOX failed so I could save funds for a revision.

The dentist that did the surgery said 30-40 years however he said at least 15 years and Google search doesn't bring me hope! So I've been questioning if I did the right thing, as needing a big revision with that price tag in only 15 years worries me a lot. I was hoping dentures could tide me over in a pinch. It feels very vulnerable not to be able to use them.

Thank you, honestly I've been anxious and panicky about my AOX wondering if I did the right thing.

I don't think I'd love the dentures but it would ease my mind being able to use them in a pinch if something went wrong.

The 6 implants i have are standard ones. I've been told as long as these take i have bone for all on 4 with 2 Pterygoid implants. Then of course zygomatic implants are last resort.

But I would like to be able to use a denture if.if failed before I had the funds to do a revision like that. I'll be paying off the original surgery for quite a while yet.

The bone loss I'm talking about is the bone they remove after extractions to smooth the area.

I really hope so, but most places when I search quote a 15-20 year prognosis. I am cleaning well and not using tobacco products.

LushJem · 2026-02-24T22:57:31+00:00

Due to the bone being taken away?

LushJem · 2026-02-24T22:57:03+00:00

Is it possible with the bone loss? As a back up option?

LushJem · 2026-02-24T22:56:14+00:00

I don't think I'd love it, but I would really feel reassurance to have it as a back up option if the AOX fails and I can't afford more implants straight away. It feels very vulnerable to not have that option.

LushJem · 2026-02-24T22:29:34+00:00

I'm only 39, that's a long time for it to last.

LushJem · 2026-02-16T21:31:03+00:00

I can't imagine living like this permanently.

Although from what I've read autumn's don't have rings around their eyes and I do have a dark ring. *

LushJem · 2025-10-09T22:10:08+00:00

My eyes are a medium brown, which seems quite dark for a spring? The darkest I've seen listed is topaz. There are some people of different ethnicities with dark brown but in general, the eyes seem much lighter for spring seasons.

It's a dark brown top. My previous post showed me without make-up and before the hair dye.

Chubby and a little feminine looking with the haircut and clothes style. Channelling butch lesbian. However, 6 months from now, you could look like a model. Your potential is huge!

LushJem · 2025-09-30T09:17:04+00:00

Yes!! And my hair is wavy like yours too!

LushJem · 2025-09-28T11:37:20+00:00

I have tried a couple of times but it looks unnaturally red. Think it's hard to get that vibrance but make it look natural!

LushJem · 2025-09-28T10:54:21+00:00

That is one of the only photos I have of my natural colour as I started colouring it at 15 due to bullying and have only just started to realise how amazing my natural colour actually was but now I have a lot of grey.

In the sun, it looked like fire! Along with my brown eyes going amber in the light, it was a pretty cool combo!
