Relieving Pain and Restoring Comfort After a Sore Spot

A Patient’s Painful Reality: The Agony of a Poorly Fitting Denture

At Dental Arts San Diego, we recently met a patient with unrelenting discomfort. She had been wearing a poorly fitting denture that rubbed mercilessly against her gums, creating a raw, painful sore that wouldn’t heal. Each time she spoke, ate, or even swallowed, she felt a sharp reminder of this sore spot—a small area with a big impact on her daily life. This pain had become a constant companion, making it clear that she needed a lasting solution.

An Urgent Solution: Addressing the Sore with Stability 

When our team examined the extent of her sore, it was evident that immediate action was necessary. This wasn’t a minor irritation—it was an emergency. We knew that simply adjusting her denture wouldn’t provide the relief she needed, so we developed a plan to eliminate the constant movement that was causing her pain. The solution? Four dental implants in her lower jaw. These implants would provide the stability her denture had been lacking, finally allowing her gums to heal.

Transforming Her Smile and Comfort with Implant Support

By placing four implants in her lower jaw, we created a foundation that allowed her denture to snap into place securely. This new stability freed her from the movement and friction that were causing so much pain. Now, her denture feels natural and stays in place, allowing her to enjoy eating, talking, and smiling without fear of another sore forming. The transformation wasn’t just physical—it gave her new confidence and comfort she hadn’t experienced in years.
