New Denture

Don't go to a Technician unless they are Clinical Dental Technicians.

I had all my top teeth out and a couple of years later all my bottom teeth. Both times I came round from the anaesthetic with the dentures in and strict orders to keep them in 24/7 except for cleaning and rinsing my mouth out with salty water. About a year afterwards I had both the dentures re-lined and have now worn them for 35 years with no problems whatsoever.

I was able to speak and eat normally from day one each time (except for soft lettuce which tends to plaster itself to the top plate) You should not still be having problems with your dentures - temporary or permanent - Get back to your Dentist or Dental Technician and tell'm to get it sorted

I should have explained that immediate dentures are provided so the patient doesn't have to go around with no teeth or big gaps. If the dentures weren't immediate the patient could be without teeth for possibly 3 months depending on healing times. And the gums could still shrink more during the early period, requiring new dentures.

It is quite common to have temporary immediate dentures after extractions but it sounds as though you could definitely do with a rethink. They would have been new jenty.

wait a year????!! why didnt he give you new dentures from the word go...never heard of anyone having temporay dentures while the gums heal..
