You are a beautiful soul, your videos are EXTREMELY helpful for those of us going through this, or thinking about doing it. This video hit exactly on the topic I was having, a week after my lower arch teeth removal, implants and immediate denture. I was in tears getting it on, with it taking 10-15 minutes to 'sink' and settle in to the arch. I know, 1 week in - what a wimp! However I had a large red sore area on my front arch right where I had teeth removed, and it was killing me. My dentist corrected this immediately, I can't even express the relief I had putting the denture back in without that rubbing pain. It makes ALL the difference with dentures, I am finding! So glad to have a empathetic dentist, and to find empathetic people like yourself out there helping people!
me too, I also used cutting polish used on plastic to sand down rough spots, manicure tools, emery boards, you name it. You have to be proactive in getting the fit because the dentist can only guess where to sand but when you do it you can immediately check if it made a difference or not, and keep at it. Especially in areas that are too long or too high cutting into the flesh here and there. I did it so much and helped myself a lot because I was going back too many times for very minor trimming which just wasn't enough. Be proactive.
I've come to terms with the fact that its gonna be awhile before I can afford implants so.....Im actually getting ready to get a new set of dentures made. I reline mine myself - which honestly isn't horrible to do but I shouldnt have to use as much reline material as I do. My new (sorta new - APril will make a year that I have been there) job has really good benefits. I get close to $3000 a year of "in house" credit to use on medical or dental. But, they dont do implants here, unfortunately. This year we are using a chunk of it for my husband - who neglected his own dental issues for way too long so I could take care of mine, then after he is done I am going to get new dentures. One thing I have learned from you is that this time I am going to be WAY more vocal and picky about how they look - color, how the teeth are placed, etc. When I got my first set I was just so happy to have teeth again that I didnt care. My dentures aren't horrible by any means, other then the fit, but the molars are worn down, the gum line where the teeth meet the gum looks funky - I just know i can do better. Its not stuff that anyone looking at me will notice but *I* notice it because I have been doing this so long now and know way more than I did when I first start. So I am going to do what I can to improve m situation. My oldest is starting college in the fall and I cannot justify spending the $$ on implants on myself when he is going to need so much stuff to start college. I wish dental stuff was more affordable - not just for me but for everyone. People shouldnt have to go into debt over it. Its sad.
Always so good to hear from you, Amy. You DESERVE a smile that you truly love and it is absolutely possible. With how far dentistry has come, there's no reason people should continue to get generic looking dentures. There's just way too much talent out there. Please update me when you get your new set!
Hello @Amy Wood. I understand you so well, I am in the same situation, I cannot afford implants, I have to wear removable dentures and I am so scared about it. How long have you been using removable dentures? And tell me your experience please I am afraid coz some say you cannot speak,eat, kiss, have oral activities with your husband/boyfriend you know.. or sleep with your dentures in... So that really scares me a lot and I feel so depressed :(
I got my top full set of dentures 25 days ago and I'm using Sea Bond. It truly helps with keeping them in place, but I'm still hurting in two areas. I have two sore spots/canker sores. Thankfully I see my denist on Thursday.....3 more days!
Thank God, you have a video on pain. I just got my uppers and the pain is unacceptable. Thank you for reminding us that we should not have to live in pain as a denture wearer. These things were custom made, right? So, what happened? I used to measure for custom riding boots and I can't imagine them not fitting and telling the customer to stuff a sock in the sides, etc. Why do my dentures seem like they don't fit? Too high in the front and sides and now blisters. OUCH.
the main thing is to stay with and work with your dentist on what it is that is bothering you. everytime i went in i had a list of what it was that was bothering me and thank god my dentist looked at me and said...this is exactly what i need you to do, tell me, let me know. this has been ongoing for two years and along the way went with four minis on the uppers adding two more at present. it is going to be a journey.
@@kalinjax Hi I think I may just have to get my lower and top teeth 🦷pulled out , due to all my teeth decaying, and falling out from getting very ill for the past 4 years of being in and out of the hospital. Although I brush my teeth all the time. The medications they were giving me, were the main cause of my teeth to start to lose their strength, and caused them to start getting loose and decaying. 😞.. I was so angry, and yet scared that this was happening to me. Especially considering that before I got ill my teeth were always so healthy, and in perfect shape.. So I just happened to come across your channel, and I must say thank you for speaking about this important topic. I am now subscribed to your channel, and cannot wait to watch all your videos 🙂. I had a question for ya..I thought that after we got our teeth pulled that a person had to wait for 3 months to get a new set of teeth placed in their mouth. A friend of mine told me this not that long ago. Is their a different type of dentures out their that you can have replaced immediately, after you teeth have been pulled? I really don’t know too much about this, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback with regards to the truth of having to wait 3 months after teeth are pulled for dentures, or is it implants your talking about that they also have, and that can be placed in your mouth right after they extract your teeth? Thank you 🙏 from 🇨🇦
I go to my 1 month check up since extraction of all my top teeth and 2 week denture adjustment. Tonight is the first decent meal I’ve had in 4 weeks. I still struggle with headaches and earaches from my dentures. Thanks for uploading
I am still in horrible pain 11 days post procedure of top dentures and can't even wear them. I have went in a couple times and I guess I need to get back in there!
I remember way back when....l can really go back to many videos of yours where you were just plain and simply telling the truth, you would say l need a reline so badly but we can't afford it. I remember you were not working...hate to say that because yes as a great mother, yes you were always working your butt off with your children, keeping up your home, being a loving wife. Kevin worked hard but l remember many videos of him sitting with children doing homework, cooking and etc. I go back a long way and l felt so bad for you to feel obligated to helping me and many others and you ignored your pain to reach out and guess this is why today Kristi you are still such an inspiration to me and many, many more. I, like yourself have my implants but you are still teaching me major lessons about implants, especially how you have mastered the cleaning, you can floss so easily and fast. Girl..l can't say more, you are representing, you are giving all you have got to really get these interviews and seem like such a natural. However, l know you still have severe anxiety and feel very challenged, don't, you are great and keep it up!😘
My lower immediate denture and connective tissue disorder have made my trips to the dentist very frequent in my first few months. Much better than the pain before, but I can’t wait till my mouth adjusts better!
@@ijustrealllylikecats inflammation was intense, and we tend to have slightly higher nerve sensitivity. So staying on top of the meds, alarms so you don’t start feeling it a ton. The healing process will feel like it’s taking forever, but it wasn’t really any longer than what my dentist has seen with other patients. Bone broth, lots of fluids, coconut water, and start eating as soon as you feel like you can. When it’s green lit by the dentist just try all the things that are soft. It’s the most uncomfortable part that I experienced, it took a lot of practice to get comfortable eating. And once you are eating get them adjusted as much as you need to. Don’t be afraid to bug the dentist. I hope your surgery goes well and the inflammation stays in check! 💜
Thank you so much! I know this video is 2 months old but I'm 33 and have top dentures, I just in the past few days started to have this rubbing issue but up where my front teeth and that web is on top. It's started to hurt bad and literally cutting my gums there and making a cut. I'm going to talk to my dentist tomorrow when they're in the office. I thought it was growing pains with them but they do fit different. Thank you
Watching cuz I’m in extreme pain after picking up my partials. They are basically dentures but I have some front teeth still. I’ve had them adjusted but they are still uncomfortable and look terrible. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it or if I should just take the plunge and go for complete dentures. Right now, I feel like I’m dealing with all the cons of dentures without the new beautiful smile.
Ty for this video. I just had all (or what was left) of my teeth extracted and implants screwed into my bottom 4 days ago. I got immediate dentures and I am really struggling with them. These bottom ones are rubbing and I am not happy with the way the teeth look. I am still swollen and trying to stay positive. So I appreciate that I was able to find your channel and get some information.
Tomorrow will be day 9. Full top, super uncomfortable. Relign scheduled for day they open. I am still so scared. I didn't like eating bacon. This is going to a problem. But sharing your journey has helped me relax. I knew it will take some time before it doesn't feel like chewing with someone else teeth. Thank you for sharing. From Manitoba
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I've never had major pain in my first 10 days. There was some discomfort in the last few days from a tender spot and the dentures have become loose. I have a follow up appointment in a couple of days and am optimistic about the outcome. Thanks again for these priceless videos!
I’m waiting for the lab to finish creating my full upper denture and lower partial and I’ll have an extraction date!! So many emotions but I’m so looking forward to this journey!
That is so true, sometimes I think, wait what am I doing! In the night I bit the inside of my lip with the one tooth that causes me to constantly bite my lip or tongue...I am not going to miss that, I am now counting my problems in my current situation. I know I have to do this. I have had bad teeth for as long as I can recall. I have had massive accesses, failed root canals, crowns fall off, my bridge is loose, a tooth is loose, I can sort of cover it but once that loose tooth goes....or the bridge comes loose....
OMG. this is exactly what I do. I am constantly manipulating and contemplating my dentures. I don’t experience a lot of pain, but I do experience constant loose fitting dentures, I am always clicking, clacking, swishing, clenching, pressing due to tremendous bone loss. Which I wasn’t aware of until 2 years ago.
@@ritajanebrown7215 ohhh ok, yea I have bone loss too! I just ordered Cushion Grip so hopefully that’ll help some! I’m now 2 months post full mouth extraction so I’m aware my gums will need time to heal and shrink, so I think this Cushion Grip will do some good lol
I got them in 2015. Pain never stopped. I had relines done, adjustments done but they never fit right. Ulcers and gouges all the time, my soft palate partly covered, swallowing and even breathing hindered, just bad all over all the time. After the initial swelling went down I couldn't eat with them in place. Just wearing them a couple of hours gave me ulcers. I had injury to part of my jaw bone where 2 teeth were pulled that seemed like part of the bone was broken. splintered bone fragments came out for nearly a year. At this point I dread even trying again to have new ones made and fitted. It went so badly.
@@tatie7604 I'm so sorry Tatie. I don't know why some of us go through so much. Like Mike79 I'm seriously thinking about using a dremel tool. I don't want to break them but my Mom got sick last year and with the mask requirements I started to just not wear them at all. No one could tell. After she died I decided that I just didn't care if I was seen without dentures. After my gums healed I could eat pretty well without them, better than I could eat with them even at the best of times.
kalinjax, hello there my name is Scott & I'm going to be getting all my Top teeth taken out on January 9th 2024 I'm glad i watched your videos cause I'm not looking forward to this, I'm 49yrs old and I've been needing to do this for along time now just been putting it off cause I hate when they numb your mouth, hopefully they will put Me under is what I've been told, I have to get 22 Top teeth taken out so I'm very thankful for watching your videos I now have this to look forward to. Thanks so much for your videos
mine are so painful at the moment because they need a reline. however, my dentist wont do the reline because of an outstanding balance from my implants I paid upfront for. The upfront price was agreed upon and paid in full but when went back in they tried to bill me for an extra grand. now I have to go look for another dentist and hope he can work with the implants I have. The first dentist will get paid over time but I cant go to a person who doesn't honor their word. On top of it I really hate the way my dentures look. I feel like I spent 6 grand as a horrible investment.
Thank you 3 days ago they pulled all my teeth out plus put posts in lower tore up top pulling 11 teeth at once loll I really wanted this .Now that it's healing I can see light at end of tunnel
Yes ma'am I am going through the second week sore spots now and have an appointment in two days for adjustments 😊 they are actually too tight in some spots ( or digging) and too loose in others so much that I have white spots starting so I hope he will fix me up so I can start learning how to eat again ❤
Yeah that pain was way worse than the extractions, they shaved off the parts that where rubbing and I felt way better, tomorrow I get another adjustment hopefully it will help
Hello Kalinjax I just received my upper dentures two days ago and I love them they are so pretty, but they hurts on the sides so I can't wear them, but I'm waiting on an appointment.😣🤭
I have to wait at least 4 months for my mouth to heal before I have any pre fittings. I had all my teeth removed about 3 weeks ago. I am diabetic and the bone is weak so have to strengthen it.
My dentist is amazing ! I'm working as a new Denture wearer. I'm scared! But learning. Thank you for this! Is there anything for the pain salivation wise to help?
I’m glad I found you I go on the 21 of April I’m so scared please give me all the advice you have I have never been so scared I only want dentures for a short time but I don’t know how long I will need to save for the implants if y’all could give me a round about price
It depends I think on the type you get. The dentures with mini implants that snap in and out. Are any where between $6,000~$25,000. The ones that don’t come out are anywhere between. 30,000-70,000. My mom is 76 and her four bottom front teeth are individual implants to replace. The teeth she lost and her insurance covered none of it. Most dental insurance companies don’t cover implants they are considered cosmetic. It cost her $15,000 for four teeth. Two have failed and she has had to shell out. Money for new ones the dentist charges the same amount each time. You can have implants come loose only dentist can tighten them. That is additional cost. If you have the kind that don’t come out when you go to the dentist. He has to unscrew them and them out of your mouth to clean. They charge more because it is not like cleaning your natural teeth. The implants last for ten years. Whatever you pay to get them in ten years you will be paying the same amount again. Unless you have the financial resources to maintain them. Classic dentures are less expensive. Get the best set you can afford now. Save money and get better set later. I have not had my extractions yet. My husband is disabled so I am getting dentures that we can afford. With little saving for probably about 15 months to 18 months. I will have the set that is better. For me anything I have is better than what I have now. No more infections and broken teeth. So I am very lucky that after 3 years it will soon be over. I hope you got your smile back soon.
I'm so scared to do this. My sedation and extraction guy said if it starts going bad they stop he's not doing CPR on me in the chair its not a hospital.
Just got my bottoms and omg my dentist told me not to wear them because they hurt. She gave me this mouth wash to use every day until the end of the month. I work with the public it’s embarrassing I go back July 28. If my gums don’t go down she’s going to have to shave the back bone’s. I’m so not looking forward to it 😢😢
I was kind of wondering would you have your dentures in all day do they like start to come loose feel like they're gonna fall out when you're talking or do they stay in there nice and tight How long was it before you could eat anything at all
I am reaching out off topic but hoping you may have some insight on how to resolve a dental issue. I am seeking help for my grandson. He needs to find a dentist in the Jax area that will help him with fillings for 3 teeth. He is trying to get into the military and was advised he needs to have 3 fillings before he can go forward . He does have a lot of work that needs to be done. Thus far the dentists he has seen said he needs a full mouth restoration and won't do the required fillings without commitment to the full restoration. He just needs a dentist that understands once he is enlisted in the military he can have much of the work he needs done by them. I know that this approach takes away from their bottom line. The thing is he cannot afford to have this work done . I realize you may not be able to offer a solution to this but if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it very much. We are running in circles with this problem. Thank you !
Have him call 904-281-9988 and set up an appointment with Dr. Skigen at ASAP Dental’s southside location. They will see him for a second opinion appointment at no charge and determine if they are able to do the fillings without the rest of the restorative work. Have him bring any documentation from the military he might have to his appointment and let them know that I referred him so they will know to expect him. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
When I have even one tooth pulled, I'm in pain 3 weeks, 2 are severe pain. I have hyperalgesia. It's worse than the pain of major surgery. Narcotic pain meds do not help. I can't take Ibuprofen which helps some but the pain is still horrible. I wish someone could help me.
in this situation I have used emery boards, files and a dremel to slowly trim the too high flange portion so it doesn't cut it. I advocate for myself and am proactive because its a very specific personal configuration that you know best exactly where it hurts. I used a magic marker to put a dot on the pink portion so I knew precisely where to address the trimming. Very gently you can do it.
Hello. I just got my surgery on Friday March 18 and I’m having the hardest time wearing my immediate dentures I haven’t been able to eat much. Any suggestions?
You’re in the worst of it right now. Try to stick to soft foods for the first couple of weeks. I was eating mashed potatoes, eggs, overcooked veggies, etc. If you go to my 11 Year Denture Anniversary video, I included a clip that I never uploaded to CZcams. It was the first week of dentures and I was talking about how I couldn’t talk, eat, anything. They were massive, uncomfortable, couldn’t even fit a spoon in there. They should be able to make adjustments at your first checkup. Good luck!
Try only eating soft foods for a while , boiled eggs, noodles , pasta , apple sauce, oatmeal. Eggs are good to keep your protein up that way you don’t loose a lot of weight. Try to stay hydrated too I was very dehydrated the first month.
Good afternoon I'm new to wearing dentures and it's hard to adjust to the new reality.... I have a question for the community Is there anything I could wear at night when I remove my dentures... I have no teeth at all left so I feel the void and it's hard and it hurts... Thank You in advance for your advice!!
This will go away .. I’ve had mine since January, abs for the first month and a half I had horrible headaches and jaw pain that went up my head. You have to learn to hold your mouth in a position that is comfortable. Your jaw naturally wants to sit where it was before but there’s nothing there for your jaw to rest on. It will get better ❤️🩹 it’s a process. My bottoms are still painful to wear abs never sit still. As soon as I try to chew anything they come loose. But stay positive!!! And you need to visit with your dentist to see if they can do anything to help. You can also try to get a night guard- they are for people that grind their teeth. This might help with your jaw
I think Immediate Dentures is a totally failed concept. Nothing but a 2000.00+ dollar ticket to pain. I say, pull the teeth, then do an impression after a week or two. Sure they will not be perfect but what gets put in your mouth on surgery day is an absolute joke.
@Tesa No I didn’t win contest either. So yes dentures is what I will have. You do realize that you and myself not getting implants. Is not her fault right. It absolutely amazes me that. People are completely incapable of being happy for others. I am thrilled for her she deserves beautiful smile.
@@angelaschaefer5883 did u really take time to read exactly what I said.you couldin have to respond this way.i never said I was not happy for her.i said what I said.i also said not to be mean.so don't come at me with this.thanks.
@@tesathompson35 I will make this little more clear for you. Right now I have three abscess teeth. Yes I can have them pulled. But getting the dentures I need. Is going to take awhile. I certainly wouldn’t make comment to you. About me not having my dentures while you have yours. It very clear her winning that contest. Makes you resentful and angry.
@@angelaschaefer5883 please read a person comment clearly and carefully before you comment.and the comment was not for you anyway.thanks.and s of now I have a bridge I ain't have full denture just partial.now bridge.thankbyou very much.
@@angelaschaefer5883 you got to be a little slow.or you re talking bout your own feelings.what I sid is what I said and that was not to be mean.so check yourself.and oh,by the way you may not ever be able to get implants.dont speak on me because as of now I have my bridge that I was patiently waiting on and I'm doing Amazing.so please speak on you.not me.thanks.

Right now, I feel like I’m dealing with all the cons of dentures without the new beautiful smile.
Ty for this video. I just had all (or what was left) of my teeth extracted and implants screwed into my bottom 4 days ago. I got immediate dentures and I am really struggling with them. These bottom ones are rubbing and I am not happy with the way the teeth look. I am still swollen and trying to stay positive. So I appreciate that I was able to find your channel and get some information.
Tomorrow will be day 9. Full top, super uncomfortable. Relign scheduled for day they open. I am still so scared. I didn't like eating bacon. This is going to a problem. But sharing your journey has helped me relax. I knew it will take some time before it doesn't feel like chewing with someone else teeth. Thank you for sharing. From Manitoba
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I've never had major pain in my first 10 days. There was some discomfort in the last few days from a tender spot and the dentures have become loose. I have a follow up appointment in a couple of days and am optimistic about the outcome. Thanks again for these priceless videos!
I’m waiting for the lab to finish creating my full upper denture and lower partial and I’ll have an extraction date!! So many emotions but I’m so looking forward to this journey!
That is so true, sometimes I think, wait what am I doing! In the night I bit the inside of my lip with the one tooth that causes me to constantly bite my lip or tongue...I am not going to miss that, I am now counting my problems in my current situation. I know I have to do this. I have had bad teeth for as long as I can recall. I have had massive accesses, failed root canals, crowns fall off, my bridge is loose, a tooth is loose, I can sort of cover it but once that loose tooth goes....or the bridge comes loose....
OMG. this is exactly what I do. I am constantly manipulating and contemplating my dentures. I don’t experience a lot of pain, but I do experience constant loose fitting dentures, I am always clicking, clacking, swishing, clenching, pressing due to tremendous bone loss. Which I wasn’t aware of until 2 years ago.
Me too! I cannot deal with the clicking and clacking!! Is it because they’re too loose still?
@@shayshaymann113 yes, too loose. If you have bone loss like I do, they will never fit snugly.
@@ritajanebrown7215 ohhh ok, yea I have bone loss too! I just ordered Cushion Grip so hopefully that’ll help some!
I’m now 2 months post full mouth extraction so I’m aware my gums will need time to heal and shrink, so I think this Cushion Grip will do some good lol
Thank You for your channel
I find it very useful
🙏
I got them in 2015. Pain never stopped. I had relines done, adjustments done but they never fit right. Ulcers and gouges all the time, my soft palate partly covered, swallowing and even breathing hindered, just bad all over all the time. After the initial swelling went down I couldn't eat with them in place. Just wearing them a couple of hours gave me ulcers. I had injury to part of my jaw bone where 2 teeth were pulled that seemed like part of the bone was broken. splintered bone fragments came out for nearly a year. At this point I dread even trying again to have new ones made and fitted. It went so badly.
I am in torture. My salivary gland is swollen and my gum injured. Some splinter came out. My lower gums are a mess. I can't take it.
@@tatie7604 I'm so sorry Tatie. I don't know why some of us go through so much. Like Mike79 I'm seriously thinking about using a dremel tool. I don't want to break them but my Mom got sick last year and with the mask requirements I started to just not wear them at all. No one could tell. After she died I decided that I just didn't care if I was seen without dentures. After my gums healed I could eat pretty well without them, better than I could eat with them even at the best of times.
kalinjax, hello there my name is Scott & I'm going to be getting all my Top teeth taken out on January 9th 2024 I'm glad i watched your videos cause I'm not looking forward to this, I'm 49yrs old and I've been needing to do this for along time now just been putting it off cause I hate when they numb your mouth, hopefully they will put Me under is what I've been told, I have to get 22 Top teeth taken out so I'm very thankful for watching your videos I now have this to look forward to. Thanks so much for your videos
I just got my immediate dentures 2 days ago. Thanks for the great info. I had my last 18 teeth pulled at once and got full top and bottom.
mine are so painful at the moment because they need a reline. however, my dentist wont do the reline because of an outstanding balance from my implants I paid upfront for. The upfront price was agreed upon and paid in full but when went back in they tried to bill me for an extra grand. now I have to go look for another dentist and hope he can work with the implants I have. The first dentist will get paid over time but I cant go to a person who doesn't honor their word. On top of it I really hate the way my dentures look. I feel like I spent 6 grand as a horrible investment.
There should be a warranty
Starting into my second week & crying just thinking about putting in my snap in dentures! So many sore spots that look like they are getting infected!
Exactly what im experience ing right now
Thank you 3 days ago they pulled all my teeth out plus put posts in lower tore up top pulling 11 teeth at once loll I really wanted this .Now that it's healing I can see light at end of tunnel
Yes ma'am I am going through the second week sore spots now and have an appointment in two days for adjustments 😊 they are actually too tight in some spots ( or digging) and too loose in others so much that I have white spots starting so I hope he will fix me up so I can start learning how to eat again ❤
Yeah that pain was way worse than the extractions, they shaved off the parts that where rubbing and I felt way better, tomorrow I get another adjustment hopefully it will help
Hello Kalinjax I just received my upper dentures two days ago and I love them they are so pretty, but they hurts on the sides so I can't wear them, but I'm waiting on an appointment.😣🤭
yes am subscribed
I cry and cry all the time
I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. 💔😢
👍 great info!
Great tips!
I have to wait at least 4 months for my mouth to heal before I have any pre fittings. I had all my teeth removed about 3 weeks ago. I am diabetic and the bone is weak so have to strengthen it.
My dentist is amazing ! I'm working as a new Denture wearer. I'm scared! But learning. Thank you for this!
Is there anything for the pain salivation wise to help?
I’m glad I found you I go on the 21 of April I’m so scared please give me all the advice you have I have never been so scared I only want dentures for a short time but I don’t know how long I will need to save for the implants if y’all could give me a round about price
It depends I think on the type you get. The dentures with mini implants that snap in and out. Are any where between $6,000~$25,000. The ones that don’t come out are anywhere between. 30,000-70,000. My mom is 76 and her four bottom front teeth are individual implants to replace. The teeth she lost and her insurance covered none of it. Most dental insurance companies don’t cover implants they are considered cosmetic. It cost her $15,000 for four teeth. Two have failed and she has had to shell out. Money for new ones the dentist charges the same amount each time. You can have implants come loose only dentist can tighten them. That is additional cost. If you have the kind that don’t come out when you go to the dentist. He has to unscrew them and them out of your mouth to clean. They charge more because it is not like cleaning your natural teeth. The implants last for ten years. Whatever you pay to get them in ten years you will be paying the same amount again. Unless you have the financial resources to maintain them. Classic dentures are less expensive. Get the best set you can afford now. Save money and get better set later. I have not had my extractions yet. My husband is disabled so I am getting dentures that we can afford. With little saving for probably about 15 months to 18 months. I will have the set that is better. For me anything I have is better than what I have now. No more infections and broken teeth. So I am very lucky that after 3 years it will soon be over. I hope you got your smile back soon.
I'm so scared to do this. My sedation and extraction guy said if it starts going bad they stop he's not doing CPR on me in the chair its not a hospital.
Just got my bottoms and omg my dentist told me not to wear them because they hurt. She gave me this mouth wash to use every day until the end of the month. I work with the public it’s embarrassing I go back July 28. If my gums don’t go down she’s going to have to shave the back bone’s. I’m so not looking forward to it 😢😢
I was kind of wondering would you have your dentures in all day do they like start to come loose feel like they're gonna fall out when you're talking or do they stay in there nice and tight How long was it before you could eat anything at all
Did your denture cause swollen salivary glands? I'm in torture.
Your teeth are beautiful. What color did you choose? I want mine white like yours but everyone says not to go to white…
I do want mine whiter than what I have but I do know a gut with impossibly white teeth and it does look odd, so I will really take time with that
Go very white. They look fake if they are dull.
I am reaching out off topic but hoping you may have some insight on how to resolve a dental issue. I am seeking help for my grandson. He needs to find a dentist in the Jax area that will help him with fillings for 3 teeth. He is trying to get into the military and was advised he needs to have 3 fillings before he can go forward . He does have a lot of work that needs to be done. Thus far the dentists he has seen said he needs a full mouth restoration and won't do the required fillings without commitment to the full restoration. He just needs a dentist that understands once he is enlisted in the military he can have much of the work he needs done by them. I know that this approach takes away from their bottom line. The thing is he cannot afford to have this work done . I realize you may not be able to offer a solution to this but if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it very much. We are running in circles with this problem. Thank you !
There should be some clinics that could help~ where the doctors donate their time.
Or a Dental school.
Good luck
Have him call 904-281-9988 and set up an appointment with Dr. Skigen at ASAP Dental’s southside location. They will see him for a second opinion appointment at no charge and determine if they are able to do the fillings without the rest of the restorative work. Have him bring any documentation from the military he might have to his appointment and let them know that I referred him so they will know to expect him. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
To clarify, the consultation would be free, not fillings.
@@kalinjax Thank you so much! I will let you know how it goes!! I appreciate your help more than I can say!
Should I use your CZcams name for reference?
Im stressed I just got top and bottom I had all my teeth removed I feel like I got to much gum
3 weeks in and my dentures still hurt
When I have even one tooth pulled, I'm in pain 3 weeks, 2 are severe pain. I have hyperalgesia. It's worse than the pain of major surgery. Narcotic pain meds do not help. I can't take Ibuprofen which helps some but the pain is still horrible. I wish someone could help me.
I hope that you are feeling better now. It does hurt when they pull them.
My lower ridge is as thin as a one year old, no helping me
💯% My respect to her i been going through the same totally understand
I had a bone spur,
I got my permanent teeth last tuesday and the nextday they didnt fit
The top of my dentures feel like they go up under my jaw bone and cut my mouth up
in this situation I have used emery boards, files and a dremel to slowly trim the too high flange portion so it doesn't cut it. I advocate for myself and am proactive because its a very specific personal configuration that you know best exactly where it hurts. I used a magic marker to put a dot on the pink portion so I knew precisely where to address the trimming. Very gently you can do it.
My brand new snap in upper isn't a full roof, is a full roof better ?
Do you experience any pain with the implants?
Hello. I just got my surgery on Friday March 18 and I’m having the hardest time wearing my immediate dentures I haven’t been able to eat much. Any suggestions?
You’re in the worst of it right now. Try to stick to soft foods for the first couple of weeks. I was eating mashed potatoes, eggs, overcooked veggies, etc. If you go to my 11 Year Denture Anniversary video, I included a clip that I never uploaded to CZcams. It was the first week of dentures and I was talking about how I couldn’t talk, eat, anything. They were massive, uncomfortable, couldn’t even fit a spoon in there. They should be able to make adjustments at your first checkup. Good luck!
Try only eating soft foods for a while , boiled eggs, noodles , pasta , apple sauce, oatmeal. Eggs are good to keep your protein up that way you don’t loose a lot of weight. Try to stay hydrated too I was very dehydrated the first month.
Good afternoon
I'm new to wearing dentures and it's hard to adjust to the new reality....
I have a question for the community
Is there anything I could wear at night when I remove my dentures...
I have no teeth at all left so I feel the void and it's hard and it hurts...
Thank You in advance for your advice!!
This will go away .. I’ve had mine since January, abs for the first month and a half I had horrible headaches and jaw pain that went up my head. You have to learn to hold your mouth in a position that is comfortable. Your jaw naturally wants to sit where it was before but there’s nothing there for your jaw to rest on. It will get better ❤️🩹 it’s a process. My bottoms are still painful to wear abs never sit still. As soon as I try to chew anything they come loose. But stay positive!!! And you need to visit with your dentist to see if they can do anything to help. You can also try to get a night guard- they are for people that grind their teeth. This might help with your jaw

Thank You so much for your response!
Really appreciated!
🙏
Come on Kristi, Santa made my partials 🤪
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

With the implant does the top of your mouth have anything touching like the denture plate????
I think Immediate Dentures is a totally failed concept. Nothing but a 2000.00+ dollar ticket to pain. I say, pull the teeth, then do an impression after a week or two. Sure they will not be perfect but what gets put in your mouth on surgery day is an absolute joke.
Everyone cant afford implants or win contest.so we have do deal with this.u got lucky we didin.not too be mean
@Tesa No I didn’t win contest either. So yes dentures is what I will have. You do realize that you and myself not getting implants. Is not her fault right. It absolutely amazes me that. People are completely incapable of being happy for others. I am thrilled for her she deserves beautiful smile.
@@angelaschaefer5883 did u really take time to read exactly what I said.you couldin have to respond this way.i never said I was not happy for her.i said what I said.i also said not to be mean.so don't come at me with this.thanks.
@@tesathompson35 I will make this little more clear for you. Right now I have three abscess teeth. Yes I can have them pulled. But getting the dentures I need. Is going to take awhile. I certainly wouldn’t make comment to you. About me not having my dentures while you have yours. It very clear her winning that contest. Makes you resentful and angry.
@@angelaschaefer5883 please read a person comment clearly and carefully before you comment.and the comment was not for you anyway.thanks.and s of now I have a bridge I ain't have full denture just partial.now bridge.thankbyou very much.
@@angelaschaefer5883 you got to be a little slow.or you re talking bout your own feelings.what I sid is what I said and that was not to be mean.so check yourself.and oh,by the way you may not ever be able to get implants.dont speak on me because as of now I have my bridge that I was patiently waiting on and I'm doing Amazing.so please speak on you.not me.thanks.
Denture closeup and off please
She doesnt have dentures anymore. Dont be a creep.
