Full dentures - terrified!!

How lovely to receive such positive responses Doorbell. I have no experience of dentures but wish you well with your new teeth. 💐

Yes it's daunting. I've had full dentures since I was 11. You'll be ok. Good luck.

Thank you both has made me feel slightly better. I'm 65 and think I'm too young, has anyone had them around my age?

I’ve now had my full set of dentures for 4 months. I feel so much more confident. I can smile again. Talking was a lot easier than I was expecting. I went out in them almost straightaway, it was nerve racking to begin with but you soon get used to them.

I had a full set fitted a couple of years ago and it has given me a new lease of life. Takes no more than a week to get used to them although it was painful to start. Modern dentures are miraculous as they look so natural and eating is easier because I don't have the dental pain I had before.

Since then it has been all plain sailing. I look and feel so much better, my general health has improved immensely and my only regret is that I didn't get them sooner.

I don't like having to take them out at night because of the way I look but it is a small price to pay.

I just need another set now in case something happens to these e.g. an accident or something so need to start saving!
