Hi - I'm new around here.

Posted: November 26, 2009 5:40 pm

Ouch! I have been receiving treatment at a supposedly good dental college. I got my immediate full upper denture, only to find that the lab made it wrong. I had to go through getting impressions taken again (the lab destroys impressions) and get a new immediate denture. The time lag was 3 weeks - without any upper teeth. Finally, they're in and do not fit. I'm using Fixodent and a lot of will to get accustomed, but it seems that all I'm doing is growing more sore spots. I'm due for an adjustment again in a few days and allegedly will go through another set of impressions for the so-called definitive or final denture. Help?

OUCH would be an understatement.. I think I'd be camping out in the waiting room.. and asking to keep the impressions myself.. doesn't sound like fun.. hope all works out... please keep posting

Can you describe what you mean by "don't fit"?....(big/too tight/etc?)..hopefully they can adjust it properly this time, but I'm curious what is exactly wrong with them, fit-wise; also sorry you are having this kind of experience.....Mysmile
