hi iansheila...i saw a video of fixed dentures online. they showed 2 implant posts that hold the dentures in place. that could be an advantage because dentures can become loose at times if your eating something and trying hard to chew. my mother has dentures and on a rare occasion her dentures came loose. but i don't know what it'd be like to have those 2 posts in your mouth. would it be uncomfortable? maybe i could do some more searching online and see if i could find out. best wishes.

i looked some more online and different sites said that the posts for the implant are not uncomfortable. but dentures that slip of course are uncomfortable. best wishes again.
