I’m early 70’s and might have to consider dentures. can anyone tell me what it’s actually like wearing them. Is it uncomfortable? Can you eat the same as before? Do they actually stay stuck in your mouth? Any tips or advice welcome.

I've had dentures for many years, it was difficult getting used to them but I eat whatever I want including crusty bread and apples the only thing I have a problem with are tomato and Raspberry seeds.

I have gradually lost most of my upper teeth and now have practically a full plate. It took a couple of appointments to get the fit right, but I am very pleased with them now. I put them in in the morning and forget them. I don't have any problems eating, except perhaps things like very crunchy apples.
