I currently have lower dentures and am considering the implant pins. My
dentures are very uncomfortable and I don't enjoy eating anymore. I
cannot eat steak, chicken or anything chewy because of the pain from my
dentures. I have had them for 3 years. I have little to no bone on my
lower jaw but my surgeon says the pins are a good option for me.

Implant overdentures (dentures over implants) are a standard of care nowadays. There's always enough bone in the anterior part of your mandible for 2–4 implants. The implants and properly fabricated overdentures will significantly improve the comfort and your ability to chew better. However, please be mindful that the dentures aren't going to feel like your own teeth and SHOW MORE
Usually there is enough bone in the very front of the lower jaw for at least two implant for a denture to click into. Please visit a periodontist or an oral surgeon to assess whether you have enough bone in the front of your jaw to place at least two implants. A 3D CAT scan will be taken to assess bone density and height. Having implants to support your denture will change your life forever.
