Are false teeth worth the pain?
When I had the remaining of my teeth finally removed he did it at the same time as having my dentures ready.


Whilst the teeth were still in I was going backwards and forwards to the dentist for impressions %26amp; fittings, etc.


On the final appointment when my teeth where ready he took the teeth out and put the dentures straight in. I was told to sleep in them at first for the first few nights because if I took them out my gums would swell and I wouldn%26#039;t be able to get them back in again later.


It was a bit painful at first. And I only took them out for a few minutes in order to rinse my mouth.


When I first had them took out and the dentures put in I came home %26amp; ate a slice of toast and felt no pain as my mouth was still numb but once the numbness wears off it did start to feel tender. Take painkillers %26amp; ease yourself into eating soft things with your dentures in at first eventually building up to harder stuff.


I mistakenly thought I would be eating apples straight away but it took a few weeks before I was able to build myself up to managing them.


Good luck.
Reply:When you put dentures in over fresh extraction sites, the bone is harmed and slowly dissolves away! It is much better to have all of the posterior teeth extracted, heal for 6-8 weeks, and then have the anterior teeth removed the same day that the dentures are placed. To do otherwise is not wise.
Reply:Not sure I agree with the first answer. I had immediate dentures put in nearly thirty years ago. Yes, the dentist said a waiting period would be better, but I didn%26#039;t want to go without teeth for weeks on end. So I had them all out at once and the dentures placed immediately afterward.





I had virtually no problems because of it. The dentures actually provided protection by covering the areas where the teeth were extracted.





It%26#039;s true that your gums will shrink over time, and the dentures will need to be relined to maintain the fit. Once teeth are extracted, gums will shrink no matter when the dentures were inserted.





Be patient! New dentures are going to take some getting used to, and it%26#039;s not going to be easy. At first, eating will be difficult and painful. Even when you%26#039;re not eating, there will be some pain. Speaking will seem odd. The dentures will probably create sores here and there, but the dentist can take care of that. Bear with it. Time heals everything.





Once you%26#039;ve worn them a while, and the extraction sockets have healed, you should be fine. I eat virtually anything without problems, and you should be able to also.
