What was the recovery period like. Does it feel terrible to have a denture in your mouth?

The pain can be overwhelming. However, I've never had a patient that wishes they hadn't done it. When you need dentures, you will do anything to get them. If you don't get the immediate denture, you will have to wait 6 weeks to start the process to get one after all the swelling has gone down. If you can go that long w/o your teeth, well, that's up to you. Many people can eat fairly well and stop taking pain medicine in 4-7 days. I hope all works out great for you!!

The reason to pull all upper teeth has not been explained by you nor how many are being pulled. It needs some patience and endurance to some pain to get all pulled if the situation is such that those cannot be saved. If so, as a first step go for bone grafting, allow requisite period of healing and then go for implants and full upper dentures, preferably removable ones for maintaining better hygiene as well as esthtics.

It's kind of uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it after a year or so.
The first 2 weeks are the worst.
