Hi, I go wednesday to be fited for my top denture. I had all my top teeth pulled. I still have my lower teeth so no denture is needed there. My question is how hard is it to get use to the top plate? Also how long will it take me to get used to it in order to eat. I am three weeks out from having the top teeth pulled and it will take about three weeks to get the new one in so I should be fully healed by then.
thanks to anyone who responds :)

I don't know a answer about your post, sorry. I wanted to vent about my problem about denture.. I dont have a denture but I want to get dentures so bad, but I cannot afford them. Don't have dental insurance, I looked dental plans out there. Almost all plans i saw that every tooth they pull....is an additional cost other than the actual denture. Is that true..? If you get dentures, do they give you a temporary denture before you get the actual denture. I hope that someone will answer your question and my question.
Thank you.

An upper denture's arc/pallate provides suction, whereas a lower denture has nothing to create suction.
You often have to learn to control a lower denture with your lips and mouth.
The upper denture will be easier to adapt to--just leave it in as much as possible.
A temporary or "immediate" denture is one that is put in often immediaetly after having your teeth pulled..The gums heal around the plate, but after healing they will shrink --causing the denture to be loose, then you go for the "permanent"
An immediate, or temporary is not really necessary in that there is virtually no difference in it and the "permanent" plate. Of course there are extra fees with and extra plate.
