LYNN,
THE TISSUES HAVE TO HEAL AND GO BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE A FINAL IMPRESSION CAN BE TAKEN TO MAKE THE DENTURE. IF YOU HAD HAD IMMEDIATE DENTURES THEN IT WOULD HAVE KEPT YOU FROM GETTING AS SWOLLEN AS YOU DID.
YOU'LL BE GOOD FOR AN IMPRESSION IN A FEW WEEKS. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

Of course you can wear them and you need to wear them as much as you can. If you are having a problem with them, you need to call your dentist immediately. The plate may need to be adjusted. My older sister had this done years ago. Right after having the bottom teeth pulled, the dentist inserted the dentures so she could get used to them and prevent the gums from receding further.

you're able to ask your dentist if a re-base is attainable. this could use the triumphing enamel out of your denture and make a clean base or the gums for it to extra healthful your mouth. it would fee below an entire new denture yet because of the fact the DDS suggested, it may be less difficult to have a clean denture made than attempt to make this one artwork.

You just need to let the swelling go down before you try wearing them again. Until then, stick with soft foods. Cold foods are good on swollen gums, so maybe it's a good excuse to treat yourself with a bit of ice cream! :-)

No, they won't fit properly and can cause chafing and irritation to your gums. Wait a couple of days for the swelling to go down before you put them back in.
