I have had these for over 5 years and they still do not fit right. They are painful in the upper right, like they are poking into my palate. I keep having them adjusted, but that only lasts a couple days then it hurts to wear them again. What can I do? The dentist has run out of options!

Did you have your teeth removed 5 years ago and these are your first dentures/partial? Sometimes a tiny bone chip is missed or breaks loose during or after surgery. The denture rubs against it and it causes pain. Ask your dentist if this could be the problem. I'd check with another dentist for a second opinion. He could find something that was missed.
You need re-fitted, then new dentures. For what you paid you deserve teeth that fit and function. Do not take no for an answer. Let us know what happens. I got mine in the beginning of June, then I was scheduled for open heart surgery, so he fitted mine with a temporary liner.
