Does getting dentures hurt?

My husband & I went to Mexico.. I already had an upper.. for many years.  I had 6 lower teeth left with a bridge.  The dentist was Wonderful she pulled the 6 lower teeth. The next morning I was in having the new top and bottom dentures put in.   Like someone else said.. the pain is less than having tooth aches, infections, rootcanals.

I am adjusting to the bottom denture, I have been eating soft food..Chicken, noodles, eggs, even some crackers and chips.  It takes a little practice, take smaller bites.. chew well, learn to use your tongue.

Your tongue an muscles in your mouth will try to push out the denture (especially the bottom one). so try to relax your jaw, practice saying the alphabet .  Your tongue will shrink some.. since it had more space before you had the dentures in.  It takes pactience and practice, but now I can smile again .:)

The dentist who did this to you should have his license revoked, so he can't do it to anyone else. That is not the way we are taught to do "immediate" dentures. 

We learn that we must remove your back teeth first, and allow the gums and bone to heal completely. If we don't do it this way, your dentures will be falling out of your mouth in just a couple of weeks. Complete healing  takes about 12 weeks. If we it this way, your dentures will have a strong firm ridge to sit on when we deliver your dentures. They will also stay in much better.

After your back gums have healed, we make impressions of your remaining teeth and the back ridges. From this, we can make your dentures. Once your dentures are finished, we only have to remove the remaining six top and six bottom teeth, and seat your dentures.  The dentures have a strong, firm back ridge to keep them in, and for them to rest on while the relatively small ares if the front heal. 

As the bone heals from extractions it shrinks a lot. So, after your gums heal in front, we have to refit (reline) the front of the dentures

This is the way we were taught to make "immediate dentures in dental school. Immediate dentures are a wonderful service. I have done these hundreds of times, and the next day when my patients come in for their follow-up appointment, they are smiling and thrilled with their smiles. 

Unfortunately, I am now retired and no longer get the thrill of seeing these beautiful smiles.
