I need advice on what to expect with getting a full upper denture?

Question

I am 32, attaractive and have to get false teeth, a full upper denture. I want to know what to expect from an "immediate" denture. I have already had all my back teeth pulled, and just have to have my denture made, and my 6 front teeth pulled and the denture put in. What's it like right after? Talking, eating and comfort? if any? And any "long term info" would help too....I'm looking for answers from denture wearers and people who have had an"immediate" denture. I am young and scared that I will talk and look funny or way different than I do now. I also wonder about what kissing and sex with my boyfriend, (who's being very supportive about this) will be like...Please help! Thanks. Pammy

Answer 1

Let me tell you I was in my late 30's and I went to the dentist for a cleaning and to have a cap put on one of my front teeth. When they took the ex-ray they come back and told me I had to have all me top teeth pulled and replaced with a full denture. I was horrified. But since I have had it done I look better and feel better about my smile. If you have to have a denture you would rather have the top insted of the bottom. the top stays in place with fix-a-dent the bottom is very uncomfortable. After you have it done you will be glad and when you wear dark lipstick your teeth will be so pretty. Has far as sex its the same just be sure you glue them in before. Good Luck Sweety!!!
