I got new dentures on 11-10-09 uppers only. It is now 11-19-09. From the day the dentist put in my new smilers, I have said they are to big in front. The fake gum line above my fake teeth. When I smile, it shows my fake gum line with my real one. So I have these beautiful teeth, but can't smile big. And you can feel the gums pushing out of my skin above my lips. Like big lumps. Please someone tell me if this is normal. The dentist said to work on not smiling so big. WHAT? I am a smiley person. I feel that it should be closer to my real gums. I could get a dime or nickle between my real gums and the fake ones the first day they put them in. Please someone tell me what to do. I'm so unhappy.

hi , im now in the process of getting upper dentures and parturel in the bottoms.. but i would suggestion , go back to your dentist and make sure that he would do something to make you happy .. keep going until they do something if you dont like your dentures or how they feel they need to fix the problem.. thats what you pay a lot of money to get what you need and they need to give you what you pay for , thats what im gonna do if my dentures are not right im gonna keep on going until they fix the problem .dont let them make you feel that you cant smile they way you smile.. thats just not right .. goood luck , keep in touch...
