After spoiling my wife with everything she ever wanted, I decided to splurge on myself after divorcing her. Had all my upper teeth pulled for denture implant. Didnt last, the screw posts fell out, and was at a crossroads, After watching every denture video known to man I decided to buy all the materials and tools online and make my own. Thats what I do, I make stuff. I will say I was super pleased with the results. Perfect fit, perfect alignment and great bite. Nobody can tell either. I even made my mother a partial. These videos are great inspiration.
Great to hear. Thank you very much for watching!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental now that would be as great tutorial to watch!!!
That's amazing, good for you.
Wow !! I am quite over the top impressed ! I wouldn’t even know where to begin and like you , I’ve watched nearly every video in creation . I purchased a kit by Denta Fix which Incudes the exact same materials such as bondings, catalyst & cements. I’ve attempted a singular tooth or 2 which appeared nearly perfect , yet didn’t last more than a month or so.
I’d LOVE any input on how you created such a masterpiece..
More Power To Ya! 😊
Hello! I've realized I need to start taking a better care of my dental health and found your videos very informative. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
I do thank you for your explanation which is way more than I ever got from my dentist
I got an immediate top denture 10 years ago and they still fit perfectly.
Glad to hear! Thank you very much for watching!
Wow
Good to know because I’ve been told at best to expect 70% good fit with immediate dentures that they are more for looks than actual eating.Getting all teeth extracted tomorrow with immediate
sandyberardelli1307: how is that possible as they're only supposed to be good for about 6months. I have started the process and I need to know.
I'm going for mine in 12 days..I'm super nervous that it will look odd..not natural to myself.. I hope it does or that i get use to it quick.. :(
I appreciate your explanation, which went into a little more detail than what I was told by my dentist.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much for watching.
I'm getting ready to have all of what's left of my teeth extracted and while ld prefer to wait several weeks to heal..I will be getting immediate dentures.you have explained this process just amazingly well!! I'm still very nervous as I'm 74 years old..and it's pretty intimidating but can't continue with bad teeth and gums.thank you for such a great video I'm saving this.
Thank you very much !!
If you have not gone through with it yet, I highly suggest doing immediate endures for the top but waiting for healing on the bottom. The bottoms are so tough to get a good fit. I have had mine for nearly 3 months and had 2 relines with no help. They are just way too large and no adhesive will hold them in.
Hi Eileen how'd it go? Good I hope? Well I'm in same boat except I'm cpl yrs younger and am getting the wait on kind . So not exactly but lol.
I've been putting it off forever and have been told because of time involved equaling gum loss big time, dentist say I may not like the look at all I also have an overbite or underbite,I'd swear it was the opposite of what they are saying but my point was when you mentioned the fear etc boy I know what you mean. Goodluck
Twelve years with an immediate denture for my top. Never had a redline or ever used pads , any liners or adhesive. I consider myself very lucky . Now I’m looking to get the bottom done, but hear that it’s slot harder to get right. I’m opting for a whole new set including the top. I’m a little afraid that my luck won’t hold out. Crossing my fingers and hoping that by getting a set instead of just a bottom denture in hopes that it will be a better overall astetic along with them fitting well with each other.
Lower dentures are more difficult to get to stay in place. But some people have good luck with them. I hope you have a similar experience as you had with your upper. Thank you very much for watching.
Hi,@@VeryNiceSmileDental If U read my 1st question elsewhere. This is reg: Upper dentures. They're way too wide for my gums.
I use extra hold Poligrip & or Fixodent along with denture Extrahold powder, etc. But I have to add powder & gel more than once a day.
If not, my upper dentures come loose. So I definitely have to keep Poligrip or Fixo dent in my purse. Just in case I need it. Because it's Very Embarrass'n when my teeth get loose. While I'm eatn @ Restaurant or hav'n dinner @ a friend's 🏠, etc.
PleaSe give me some advise.
I 👁️👁️video's for examples of what other's do when they have the same problems I'm hav'n. I have most bottom teeth, no partial.
I got upper denture in May this year, so it's been 5 mos.
I know my gums are still Heal'n & shrink'n. I know it takes time as well. However, is my denture supposed 2 fit better with a lining? Like the dentist said. It never does,
Wow !! That’s so great to hear . I’d be terrified too of my lucky streak running out 😮 I’ve done tons of research & your one in a zillion perfect cases for sure.
I wish you the best outcome on your decision to pursue the lower in combination.
@@Jesus.SaVeS77Hi there , Sorry to ask but , what is a lining ?
I’m only Just beginning the lengthy learning process of the steps and procedures
Wow… you must really like your work…you are so friendly, even happy…thank you for encouraging people with options and explaining them! I bet your patients don’t have ‘dentaphobia’ !
Thank you for the kind words. I started the channel to help explain dentistry to people. Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks for the information. Appreciated. I’m getting ready to start the process.
Glad it was helpful!
this has helped i get immediate ones for my rl7 as it needs to come out but chewing will be difficult this has explained a lot and feel much better now thanks
Thank you very much for watching! Let me know if you have any questions!
Great video,well explained.After being in the dental field for 50 years as a dental tech.for myself I would go for the permanent denture after waiting 6 to 8 weeks or more of healing.I can make the patient a better set of dentures after the healing, better fit and the patient can try in and look at the dentures before they are finish.This way usually is a lot less expence then immediates.
I haven’t eaten for only 9 days and I am real close to jamming the intermediate denture in there on the sutures and trying to chew. Dear God. Food.
Thank you for so much for giving such an in-depth explanation, I’m getting immediate dentures within the next few weeks and my own dentist wasn’t as thorough as you were, thanks so much for explaining the pros and cons.
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for watching. Let me know how it goes for you.
Hi@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank U so much for explaining what immediate dentures are.
I was told by my Denturist that I'd have to pay again. The same Amt that I paid for 1st set upper dentures. Is this True? That's If I wanted permanant dentures? After my gums have healed & Shrank. He said it could or would take my gums up to a year. This is More Expensive than I thought it was gonna be. 😭😭 I Need advice please. Because I'm very Unhappy with this 1st set of upper dentures.
@@Jesus.SaVeS77 Can your denturist reline your immediate dentures? Sometimes a second set of dentures is needed after the immediate dentures. Usually your dentist will tell you about it ahead of time so that you can plan accordingly. Thank you very much for watching.
Gdm.@@VeryNiceSmileDental,
Ok, Yur welcme! Thnx for reply & answers.
My Denturist had it in writing. But I didn't really understand. Then I spoke with him, briefly, by Ph. 📞 as well.
However, I don't think he gave me Enough detailed info., so I'd understand Clearly that my 1st set of Dentures wouldn't fit Snug, or work as well. Bcuz plate would be 2 wide, etc 😭😭
Now I totally👀/understnd why folks Do Not wanna wear or eat with dentures in their mouth & they walk around Toothless, etc.🤦🏽
Bcuz dentures are very Uncomfy & Annoying to wear & eat with in mouth. Even after my denturist adds white Rubber lining to my denture they Still Do not fit good/well. & Even addn all the teeth products on dentures daily. They're still too Wide for my lil. mouth & Still hard for me to Bite, eat, Chew properly. 😯😳😱🥺😢😥😥😭😭
My Teeth Still come loose after chew'n, eatn. So I have 2 rinse old stuff off & Add Gel/Powder to my teeth Again.😐😒🤨🧐🤔😠😤
@@VeryNiceSmileDental
Oh! "?" Should a 2nd set of upper dentures be the same price as 1st set/immediate denture? 😳🤨🧐🤔
I like this video, that for explaining in detail so I could understand and know what I'm getting into.
Thank you very much for watching!
I got extremely sick and all my top teeth basically disintegrated(strangely my bottom teeth were barely effected) . I am having all my top teeth removed and I have opted for an immediate denture followed by a regular denture over getting implants. I'm diabetic and had infection issues, it's been 16 months since my last infection but I really don't want to have the posts put in and experience issues. If I can go several years without infection I'll consider implants at that point. Thank you for this concise video explaining everything.
I'm going in 2 weeks to get 22 teeth pulled and get immediate dentures. This was very informative thank you
You're welcome! Good luck with the procedure, let me know how it goes.
Hi friend ,
Checking in to see how your procedure and process is going ? Would love an update.
@@Kimberly_K_ Great! I'm going in for my first realignment tomorrow. I had the teeth removed while being awake and there was no pain at all. The most painful part is a few days after extraction, but there are pain killers for that. I'm smiling again and have so much self confidence back. No longer having to hold back my laughter when something funny happens, I can look at my friends and be proud of my smile. Such a life changer and totally worth it. I've waited this long for my realignment so I can get a better fit as my gums will have healed a lot better. Are you thinking about getting some?
I'm going in March 5th for top one I'm 42 and was devastated at first being 42 and having to lose my teeth I only have my fronts and two molars left on top so I only have to get like 6-8 teeth removed
So hopefully it won't be bad I have a amazing dentist one of the best in the country id bet so at least I got that piece of mind but and still really nervous about everything being ok
Oh God bless. The process has been very frustrating and painful fir me. I had 21 teeth removed A month ago. The dentures left sores all over my mouth and became painful to eat anything. Taste is distorted and they don't fit properly. I've been depressed ever since. It's a long and arduous process. God bless.
Thank you for this explanation!
You're very welcome!
I want to tell you that you really helped me in understanding what's about to happen. I have oral surgery, I had all teeth taken out, I had several teeth cut out and had stitches. My oral surgeon did a contouring of my gums, shaved down the bone and I am a little over one month of my healing process. After discussion with my oral surgeon before the surgery, I was asked if I wanted to immediately have dentures put in right after surgery, or wait. I asked him what he felt would be the best way to go. My oral surgeon said If I felt comfortable going without teeth, that his advise would to go a month to two months with no teeth so the gums could heal better. I chose to take his advice and did not get any dentures in right after my surgery. The stitches dissolved, and I just had my once month check up last week. He said I had remarkable healing, and I didn't have to go another month of healing and I am ready to now get my impressions for my dentures. What confused me was when I called my local dentist to get my first appointment scheduled. They were telling me I need a temporary denture then after 6-12 months I would get another impression for my long term or permanent dentures. I thought by choosing to get the contouring of my gums and waiting a month of healing without any teeth that I wouldn't have to go through this process. So, my question is, am I ready to get my impressions of my top and lower teeth? From your video, I felt confident that I am ready for this process and I do not have to do the 6-12 months of a temporary. I'm hoping this is the case because I am not willing to do this process, I just want to get my impressions and get my full set of dentures. I hope you can respond and ease my mind. I have already spent a lot of money having the surgery and everything removed, including a wisdom tooth and paying extra to have the contouring done because my oral surgeon said that would have my gums all set up for dentures. Thank you for taking the time out to read this and I hope I get a response. Your video was very helpful , and I think by watching your video I got my answer, but I just wanted to make sure. By the time I have my appointment, I will be going into almost 7 full months of healing with no teeth at all.
Oh, I made a typo,, my appointment with the dentist is July 14th, at that point, I will have been in 7 ( almost 8 WEEKS) of the healing state, not months like I originally typed, LOL After the contouring, or the medical name Alveoloplasty, my gums are very smooth and no up and down roller-coaster look, very level all the way around. I was put totally under for my surgery, which I highly suggest to anyone going through this. The healing of the stitches was the worse part of my healing, so I was so happy when my oral surgeon said I had remarkable healing and I do not need to wait another month of healing. Ideally no one wants to go a month or longer without any teeth, but I work from home and I wear a mask wherever I go, so it was no problem for me, and the liquid then soft food diet was a small sacrifice to be able to heal properly.
After having teeth removed, your jawbone will shrink as it heals. The greatest amount of shrinking will occur in the first 6 months or so. In a situation such as yours, I usually take impressions 6 weeks or so after the time of the extractions. I do plan on relining the dentures in 6 to 12 months due to the shrinkage that will occur as your jawbone heals.
Discuss your concerns with your dentist to make sure you are both on the same page. It's also better to consult with the dentist who will make your dentures before you have your teeth extracted.
I hope I was able to ease your mind a little bit. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thank you very much for watching!
Hi Cindy,
I really appreciate it the detail in your descriptions of what you're currently going through and of course selfishly because I'm going to the exact same thing on the exact same timeline I wondered if perhaps I could even briefly connect to share a bit of the journey.
Unfortunately my oral surgeon is different from the dental office which made me an immediate which I have not yet been able to even put into my mouth and it's almost been a month and they're each telling me that the other guy doesn't know what they're talking about.. meaning the oral surgeon is telling me that I should have given it four to six weeks after having all my teeth removed before I had even immediate or regular dentures cast as my gums were going to be changing I also had stitches in a few of my teeth exactly as you did after having all of my teeth removed and I just had a few more bone shards that had to be surgically removed a few days ago.
And then I have the dental office telling me the oral surgeon is wrong and, in that if I don't wear immediate dentures right after complete tooth removal then there's no hope of them aligning to your gums which makes no sense to me at all.
Right now I'm in the middle of some horrible depression and complete confusion because of course I spent thousands of dollars as it sounds like you have and now they want me to either spend more on another entirely new cast and or wait another couple months as a toothless teacher /actor which were and are in my professions prior to covid and all this denture hell.
Like you I thought it was a bold brave let's take a look at the bigger picture choice to just have all the teeth taken out at once and also insurance why it's it made more sense but now I remain completely confused and mystified as to when one should even be able to wear immedias and or cast once the gums have healed.
I'm sorry for all this too much detail but I just simply not been not been able to find anyone who's in the exact same situation I am and perhaps willing to share the journey which I'm finding is at the present time completely debilitating in my life unfortunately.
Anyway I'm usually very private person and also very aware of that precious commodity called time so certainly if this doesn't bring any bells or there's nothing that you could get out of perhaps even a short conversation then just ignore all these words but thank you for your detailed observations otherwise and good luck with your journey.
Did they use the bone saw to shave down the bone? You say it like it is nothing I am still having flashbacks six months later this is what I consider cruel and inhumane treatment yet we pay thousands for it?
I'm still tripping over the nerve block too. And needles don't bother me I can imagine someone who they do.
Great tutorial! Keep it up! I learn something everytime i watch you. Thank You😊😊😊😊😊
Happy to hear that! Thank you very much for watching!
1wk ago today had 15 extractions plus gum bone cut top & bottom & temp dentures all in same setting .. healing is going good stitches are starting to dissolve & come out everything’s looks good so far ..

This really helped me I just got my immediate dentures yesterday
Wonderful! How's it going so far?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental it's going kinda okay it's weird not having front teeth
Thank you 🙏
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching!
In about a week, I will get full extractions, and then regular dentures after six weeks of healing. Many of my teeth now are loose, one very loose and wobbly, and some missing. So, I'm really looking forward to the process, although, I did back out originally, but not this time. Thanks, John
Glad to hear John. Let me know how the extractions go. Thank you very much for watching!
I will be getting full extractions as well. Will you be sedated during the process? I planning to ask my dentist can I be put to sleep during the process because I have really bad anxiety 😟

You're welcome!
Yes I just had my remaining teeth extracted (20) July 26.The surgeon installed my immediate dentures and I was wheeled to recovery where the recovery nurses proceeded to take out my freshly installed teeth taking along with tissue,stiches ....and it bled heavy....they gauzed me up and released me to my driver.So while at home I changed gauze frequently.The day after(27) I had appointment with my Denturist who thought it odd they would remove the dentures and not explain why.Anyhow after he checked out my gums he showed me the bag of take home brushes,denture soak and container,when done he showed me where on the dentures to apply the gum heal and he plopped them in,top fit pretty good and secure the bottom is a bit loose but I see him next week to possibly feline the bottom.Just saying with the amount of work to my mouth I wished I could afford implants....but at 3200.00 a tooth that's out....once the swelling goes down and gums healed up I'm sure I will get used to my immediates.
Great to hear you are doing well after your immediates. Thank you very much for sharing your story, and thank you very much for watching!
Adhesive works well to keep the bottom from moving super poligrip works great on my temporary bottom ones
K
At least you had a driver I had to drive myself it was a 2 1/2 hour drive I went to UTHSC in Memphis tho this may be why I am traumatized. They only charged $25 per tooth.
I'm 26 go on the 2nd to get my top immediate denture. so excited to have back jaw teeth agin only have 10 on top . been 2 years without so my front tops started braking from eating with them.
Glad to hear! Good luck with the appointment and thank you very much for watching!
How did it go??
Informative video
Thanks!
Hello, I enjoyed your very informative video and have a question regarding an immediate upper denture I will be receiving. Presently I have a partial denture on the right side to replace 5 missing teeth, and a fixed bridge on the left side to replace 3 missing teeth. In 3 weeks I am having 8 natural teeth removed and going right into an immediate denture. So, my question is since I have gum on both sides of my mouth, where gum has already healed, will this cause my immediate to be ill fitting? If so, how do I best resolve this? P.S. my denturist wants to see me within 24 hours of my extractions. Thank you for your time and response.
Thank you! Your immediate denture should fit fairly well when you first get it but it will become looser over time as the gums heal after the extractions. Your denturist will reline the denture after a few months to give you a tighter fit. The first visit 24 hours later is usually to adjust any sore spots and to check and adjust the bite if needed. I hope I answered your question, let me know if you need more detail. Thank you very much for watching.
I’ve been without my uppers for 9 days now (yes, I am counting). This not eating is so hard. Doing it for months would make me angrier than quitting smoking did.
Hi, are you getting upper dentures?
You seem so amazing God bless you
Thank you!
Thanks for your insight. If I have an upper immediate denture will I be able to change it up at some point and get a denture that snaps in without having the roof of my mouth covered ?
Yes you most likely can do that in the future. You will need some bone grafting or sinus lifts since you mentioned that you had the back teeth removed a few years ago. To not have the roof of your mouth covered you will need at least 4 implants.
I just had the last nine teeth removed two weeks ago and have the stitches out in a days time. I’m really looking forward to having my dentures . It was suggested to have immediate dentures right after having all my teeth out but I was informed that it could be painful could get ulcers & it wouldn’t be pleasant at all so I opted to let my gums heal first .
I still can’t believe I have no teeth and am getting dentures !!!
Thanks for your video it’s always nice to have advice .
From Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you very much for watching. Let me know how it goes when you get your dentures.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental
Yes I will definitely let you know .
I really enjoy your videos very nice to listen to.
Thank you very much !
thank you for your info. I have immediate dentures both up and down for 10 years. now I need to go to regular dentures as the teeth are getting too loose and it is not pleasurable any more. I really do not look forward to not having teeth for 3 month but it has to be done so I have a beautiful smile again this summer on the beach
Hi, if you have a set of immediate dentures, you can still wear them while your new set of dentures is being made.
how as these are hooked on the teeth which have to be removed. Sorry for my English I live in Greece and are doing research. Implants are not possible due to osteoporosis
Hi, are you talking about partial dentures that are still hooked onto teeth?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Hi yes those are the ones. anyway today I have an appointment with my dentist and I think I have enough information so I can ask the right questions. Thanks a lot your video has been very helpful
@@VeryNiceSmileDental -Is this true? You can keep immediate dentures for over a year?
I have an off topic question. I have full dentures going on 2 years now. I have Sjogrens. Biotene, Salagen, drinking water constantly all day... Nothing helps the dry mouth that causes pretty bad burning sensation. Have you ever had a patient with this autoimmune disorder that you found a treatment for? Thank you, I really enjoy watching your videos.
Hi, thank you very much for watching. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet for dry mouth due to Sjogrens. There is a prescription medication called SalivaMax that may help.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank you, I haven't heard of that one. I'll ask my doctor.
Let me know if it helps. Thank you very much for watching.
I have had knee replacements and have many questions. I still have teeth left, 3 molars left.
I lost my teeth due to chemo, Big Pharma’s (Lyricaca) side effects. I started to have dry mouth now I gave beginning gum disease?
I have long roots so I was thinking of instant dentures but after listening to you, I’m having second thoughts. What drives me to instant dentures is my joint replacement as the surgeon told me my mouth is my Achilles’ tendon. I’ve been good flossing and brushing to no avail.
Do I need abutment and bone grafts? Medical doesn’t cover them.
Two dentists think I should have full dentures and one dentist thinks I should do only the upper instant dentures. I disagree. The bottom middle teeth I have left need veneers but it’s not covered by Medical, he told me it’s just cosmetic but I’ve grinded them down and they are sharp.
My gut says bite the bullet and get full dentures. Should I be concerned about my joint replacement and waiting 2-3 months for regular dentures? Thank you in advance🤓🎈
@@Diana-lq5yjwishing you the best of luck friend.
my immediate dentures fit ok to a point. the top ones tend to be loose, but mostly concerned about how dull they look, as I was never given a choice of color
Sorry to hear they didn't ask your opinion as to what color teeth you wanted on your denture. Thank you very much for watching.
You have my attention
Thank you very much for watching!
Wish I'd seen these videos before I had my work done ...but I'm sure if I keep watching I'll learn about out stuff as well ... I'm needing to know how to use powder glue stuff ..so started searching and found this
Thank you very much for watching. I will be making a "how to use denture adhesive" video in the near future. To use the powder adhesive, rinse the inside of your denture with water and leave it a little wet, then sprinkle the powder onto it. Shake off any excess powder, then put the denture in your mouth and press it into place. The powder works well if your denture has a good fit. If your denture is a few years old, the paste adhesive may work a little better since it's thicker. If your denture is really loose, try the Sea Bond adhesive seals.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thank you , I was needing to know about the paste but figured it out ...somewhat lol. I'm not using paste on my bottoms and the powder on tops ... becuz I absolutely hate trying to get the glue paste out of my mouth/gums after removing them at night . Thank u for your reply tho ... I'd love 2 see a video on removing the paste from mouth when taking teeth out 2 clean if you have any tricks 😉 😏
I'm mid-stream with immediates, top & bottom. impressions last thursday.
Hope everything goes well, let me know how it turns out. Thank you very much for watching.
I had a partial but now I lost all of my teeth and I only had 7 left she pulled the rest of them and said I have to wait 6 months before I get dentures and she wants them to fit properly no bumps in the lower mouth nice and smooth
I live in Germany and here it is common sense to give you immediate dentures right after teeth extraction and start the process of regulars after 3-4 months. We have to pay for both sets partially, the immediate costs around 650 USD and the permanents around 1000 USD. Price is for upper and bottom together, but only for the cheapest plastic teeth.
I am 8 weeks in my immediates now and can´t wait for my regulars. They are really loose now, especially the bottom feels three times bigger now as they have been in the beginning. Might be because I had infections in my jar when impressions were made.
I am in that lucky situation, I can spend a bit of money and I am quite young. I was thinking of ceramic teeth instead of plastic because I want the most natural/ best looking teeth. I am also a smoker and love coffee....I heard ceramic wouldn´t stain as plastic does ? Would you recommend them, are they worth the extra price ? I don´t want implants as I have trouble with autoimmune reactions and think my body would reject them.
Thanks in advance !
Ceramic teeth aren't used very much any more. Plastic teeth are very durable and stain resistant, and can be very lifelike. One of the benefits of plastic teeth is that they will bond to the pink plastic part of the denture. Ceramic teeth can't be bonded and are more likely to separate from the denture base. Ceramic is also more likely to chip. I hope I answered your question. Thank you very much for watching!
Do you cutout the teeth that are broken at and below the gum line? Do you put sutures in the gums?
To remove broken off teeth I use special instruments that get down between the tooth and the jawbone to loosen the tooth. Sometimes I do need to use a surgical drill to help with the extraction. Whether or not sutures are needed depends on the situation. Thank you for the question and thank you very much for watching!
You are so nice! I wish you were my dentist.
Wow, thank you!
I have dentures top and bottom. I did have top teeth pulled first and immediately got dentures had some issues at first but finally healed up and back in May 2023 got my top permanent ones love them. Now I had all bottom teeth pulled and immediately got bottom dentures in June 2023 and it’s been a roller coaster . They are just too big . Already had soft alignment done and made the fit worse . Cause more blisters plus trying to eat with them is a no go o end up biting my jaws . I go back July 31 st so hoping they can adjust this as I won’t get my permanent ones till around October 2023 .
Hopefully the can adjust the sore spots sufficiently. Try to be as precise as possible when you talk to your dentist about what issues you are having with the lower, so that they can address them.
Dr. Rich, I thank you so much for your efforts sharing this very informative video. 👍👍I'm curious after removing/extracting the whole Teeth for Full Dentures Up/Down, will the Regular or Immediate Dentures be used while the Gums are healing. I've heard about Bone Grafting after Teeth Extraction. Is Bone Grafting necessary or an option after removing all Teeth for Full Dentures? Thank you Doc. Rich!
Hi, the immediate denture is worn while the gums are healing after all of the teeth are removed. Bone grafting usually isn't done for full dentures.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank you Dr. Rich. I'll have my wife to read your response. 👍
I have six upper teeth all in the front. My other upper teeth have been extracted for a couple years. Will this decrease the amount box shrinkage in the bone ? I’m slated for an immediate denture procedure soon. Thank you .
Yes the area in the back where the other teeth were already removed won't shrink as much as the area in front will. Thank you very much for watching!
I am scheduled for top extractions with an immediate denture. I was told I would be fitted for permanent denture after around 8 months.. is this how it works? Thanks!
Hi, yes. After 8 months your gums and jawbone will have healed fully. The permanent denture will fit better than the immediate denture. Good luck and thanks very much for watching!
Got my top teeth pulled and had immediate dentures in a week ago. So far they are terrible. The teeth are different sizes, I guess because my teeth were ground down from grinding them. Plus the gap that's normally in the center of my mouth is off to the side a little. The back of the denture is too narrow and is sending pain thru my entire head.. also now the denture is cleaning against the real bottom teeth, that won't be a big deal as I'm having my bottom pulled soon.
Sorry to hear you're having troubles with your immediate dentures. Let your dentist know what's going on so that they can adjust them as best they can. Thank you for sharing your issues with us here. It will get better, remember, you're in the healing phase now.
Yes I got Dentures lower dentures and I got the intermediates they seem to get very very loose after a week or so and I have to go in for a reline that gets old but I'm hoping with the other one I won't have to do that I really really wish I would have got an plants or something I feel lost without my teeth. But I just could not afford implants is there anyway people who want implants can get help with paying for them?
Thank you very much for watching. For lower cost implants you could try a dental school or a hospital with a dental residency program.
I thought those were partals.

Thanks very much for watching!
Your welcome..I'm learning a lot
I wanted immediates but after thinking about it, waiting for my jaw to heal is best. Cheaper. Immediates need almost constant adjusting and that costs $$$. Waiting, sure, I'll be without teeth but I don't even care. The only thing that matters is my health. Getting this rot and poison out of my mouth is my number one reason.
#2 is fresh breath
#3 painless eating and drinking
#4 no more abscesses
# 5 no worries about sepsis from abscesses going to my brain or heart.
And last and least #6 a nice complete smile.
Many put smile as number one. And I get that. I'm a female and I get it. But it's been so long now that my only desires are getting my health back 100%. The nice smile is just a small extra nice attachment :)
I wouldn't ever recommend doing same day. I just got all mine done today. And so glad i did. And do sedation if you get it done. But same day would be so painful.
I had all my top teeth removed for years ago.
I just got mine one wk ago today. I did immediate. Here is what I'm experiencing. They are huge thick bc on day one right after extraction they had to place soft reline in them, they were already too big bc I think they did a bad job with the moulds. I have an extreme over bite not only do my top teeth sit over my bottom but there is a massive gap between them. My top teeth literally are just floating out above my nature bottom teeth. I go back tomorrow for my follow up. But this is horrible. I already didn't have back teeth on top haven't for 3 yrs so I don't understand why I don't have a fit on the sides when they've already healed. I don't understand how this is going to get better when they are already thick and huge. Someone please tell me if any of this is normal for the first week
Sorry to hear about your situation, I know it can be very frustrating. Hopefully they will be able to adjust the denture to be more comfortable for you. Let me know how the follow up visit goes.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental today was my apt they did some adjustments they feel so much better. they are going to remake them at their cost in 3mo bc they are such a mess. Next wk they are going to do a diff reline its not near as thick and she said ppl like it so much btr I think she said it was kind of sticky I don't remember what it was called but they couldn't do that before bc of all the open wounds. I'm so happy w/ them they are going out of their way to make things right. Thanks for the response.
@@55shocked55 Glad to hear that they are taking care of you.

Funny how people have to spend big bucks for dental work not knowing what they are going to get. My wife is going to Aspen Dental to get full dentures.We had to do some research on UA-cam to get an idea what to expect. This video and some others were very helpful so thank you for doing this.
You're welcome! I made another video that you might find helpful, it's called "5 Questions to Ask Your Dentist Before You Get Dentures", ua-cam.com/video/OpmoYjOj7Ms/v-deo.html
What type of denture do you make for someone who only has 6 teeth left..3 on top and 3 on the bottom (over each other) and it has been more than 8 months since the last of the earlier extractions?
Hi, in the situation you're describing, it won't make much of a difference either way. If you decide to get immediate dentures, you most likely will only need to reline the areas where the 3 teeth were after 6 months or so. The flip side, you may not miss those 6 teeth if you have them pulled before you have permanent dentures made. Talk to your dentist about which option will be the best for you. You are more than welcome to give me a call at my office. You can find the number on my website, www.verynicesmile.com. Thank you very much for watching!
I have a kind of off topic question. If I choose to get dentures on my top teeth for the time being, would I have a chance of being able to get dental implants or an all on 4 years down the road? Or does your jaw bone lose the ability for implants? I tried looking it up, but the answers vary greatly.
Yes you should be able to get implants down the road. How much bone you lose varies from person to person. I had a patient a couple of years ago that decided to get implants after wearing an upper denture for 40 years. They needed to get bone grafting first, then once the grafts healed, the surgeon was able to place 6 implants. Thank you very much for watching!
I got my to denture over a year ago and have only wore them no more then an hour ever because they're too thick and i also gag i tried really hard to get used to it but it didn't happen. What can i do i hate not having teeth I'm so insecure now.
Got immediate dentures on top 3 years ago and I have not had any realignment nor do I have to use adhesive on it. Tomorrow I'm getting my bottom immediate, very scared since there is no suction.
Great to hear you are doing so well with your upper denture! Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly for you with the lowers. :)
Can you let me know how the bottoms worked out for you? Thanks!
What causes the soreness and pain that some denture wearers complain about? What can be done if it continues?
The pain and soreness come from 2 sources. One is having teeth extracted, the area will be sore and painful from the extraction procedure. This will go away as the jaw heals. The second source is the denture rubbing on the gums. The denture will need to be adjusted to fix these sore spots.
Hello ,this video really helped me to understand about dentures. But one question arised in my mind without extraction of the remaining teeth , is fitting of dentures can be done.
Hi, the denture can't be fit until the teeth are removed.
Hi with extractions / full mouth are stiches required/ if not wanted /prefer gums to heal naturally Also what are the lightest weight /thinnest dentures available PLEASE list all / any opion on flexite and Russel Klein ultra thins / any others available as to compare Thanks
Hi, stiches usually help your mouth heal faster, especially when multiple teeth are extracted, the gum in between the extracted teeth might get torn during the extractions. Stiches will reposition the gums and let them heal.
For all types of materials used to make full or partial dentures, there is a minimum thickness that is recommended by the manufacturer. If the material gets too thin it will be more likely to break. For full dentures I use a hard acrylic. For partial dentures I'll use either a hard acrylic or the flexible nylon plastic. If it's just replacing one or two teeth, I'll use just the flexible nylon material. If the partial is replacing multiple teeth, I'll sometimes use the flexible material but I will also make a metal framework. I'm not a fan of large flexible partial dentures. Thank you very much for watching.
I just got my upper teeth extracted and immediate dentures approximately a month ago. My dentist didn’t really explain the process other than to say I’d be getting immediate dentures, then would be getting the permanent dentures several months later. My gums have shrunk so quickly until the adhesive is doing ALL the holding. Supposed to get a relign in about two weeks. Wish I’d been told all that was involved prior to starting the process, so I could have mentally prepared myself. I thought that the post extraction pain would be the worst part of the process. But that wasn’t bad. It’s the dealing with loose fit and being unable to really chew anything of substance.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully the reline will help. Seabond adhesive pads work for some people, they are thicker than just using a cream adhesive.
HI if I want the implant supported denture do I have to wait the 6 - 8 weeks for the new teeth after you remove my teeth? Also if you want to wait the 2 to 3 months with no teeth is there a way I could get temporary dentures since you wont have an teeth ? Thank you love your videos
Thank you very much for watching! Sorry to have to say this but, it depends on your situation. If you'd like, shoot me an email via my website www.verynicesmile.com and you can give me more information there. I will reply to you.
For financial reasons I had to wait 2 years for implants. But the extractions hurt bad, you have to remember that when pulling your teeth they are breaking bones and when putting in implants they are breaking bones. That's the best way I know how to explain it. I had used a dremel on my immediate denture to take the whole back area of the denture off and leave the tongue to hold the glue so that I could eat something with my gums otherwise with the whole denture I was limited to only liquids I could drink through a straw. So the guy who did my implants put them in and made me another denture and I had to wear the denture over the implants for 90 days but the denture he made me I could even eat a salad or some vegetables with. He turned that denture into a temporary hybrid and loaded my implants with it and made my permanent with the titanium bar. I honestly think if you could find someone who would do them both at the same time that they would be unethical and greedy and completely uncaring about you the patient which many are so I am not going to say you won't find it. The extractions were horribly painful and bled for days. The implants put me in bed on pain medication for a month. Having been through both I would definitely not want to do them at the same time, I would want one to heal before I did the other.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! Going from having teeth to having a hybrid denture on implants is a lot of surgery.
To me swollen gums are the worst mine are like 4x larger than normal the place I went to had such a hard time getting my teeth out for the immediate it sucks that I had to get this it’s big bulky and painful please hold on to your teeth as long as you can as it sucks bad not to have them anymore and you will feel like you do when you come out of dentist and are numb and try to eat anyways that’s the feeling of dentures and doesn’t go away 😒
I had immediate dentures uppers and lowers. Once I reapplied my immediate dentures after removing the gauze from my mouth once the bleeding had stopped, my dentures fit like the impression tray they measured my teeth with in the office. There is know way I can wear these dentures without a realign. I am terribly disappointed that my dentures where so poorly fitted. Is this a regular occurrence?
Sorry to hear about your experience. What did your dentist tell you? I know sometimes, dentists will make a "transitional" set of dentures as the immediates since they know that a lot of changes will happen as the patients jaws heal, then they will make a final set of dentures once your jawbones have healed. That should have been explained to you before treatment was started.
In my area, I usually try to make the immediate set of dentures fit as well as possible, depending on the patients situation. I usually see people who's teeth have been failing for years, so they are missing several teeth by the time I start making them immediate dentures.
I had teeth, three broken at the gum line. Are these extracted by the dentist or an oral surgeon?
It depends on the dentist. Some dentists can remove broken teeth, some don't. Every oral surgeon will be able to remove the broken teeth. Thank you very much for watching!
I,ve got some teeth and have had dentures fitted abt a week ago can I use adhiseve to hold them in place
If I'm understanding you correctly, yes you can use denture adhesive with a partial denture. Thank you very much for watching!
I got immediate dentures but after 6mos I go back for my permanent dentures, really hoping they feel and fit better then the immediate ones
Hi, usually the permanent ones fit better than the immediates. They can take a better impression of your jaw and your gums are not changing as much when you wear the dentures. Thank you very much for watching!
Me too! Got my immediates today.
@@wht-rabt-obj How are they?
This video really helped me to understand. I am getting immediate dentures soon, but my dentist said they will be temporary. In a year I will get more permanent ones.
Great! Let me know how it goes.
I had immediate but now it's time for a new upper arch and I was wondering do they have to keep my old set to make the replacement denture because I didn't wanna be without my denture while a new one is being made
Hi, they should be able to make you a new denture without taking your immediate denture away from you.
I know this random but I haven't seen many discuss it. I've been told that I need alveoplasty (*spelling) on all 4 quads. Is this something you do or recommend with extractions same day? Because I would think the purpose would be an after awhile kind of thing when your gums actually have time to shrink down a bit but they are wanting to it same day. And if you do recommend, hoe much time is added generally to the "healing" process and is wearing a denture after your gum being ripped open actually a good thing? I go in literally in two days so I'm hoping you see this. I been watching all your videos in order and I haven't seen anything that touched on the plasty surgery. And all the videos I've seen are ppl complaining about it being a waste or the actual surgery itself. Thank you in advance
Hi, thanks for the question and for the great video idea. I seldom do full arch alveoloplasty (google doesn't even recognize the correct spelling). When I place an immediate denture, I want as much bone as possible to secure the denture. Sometimes too much bone is removed, and then the dentures don't stay in place well. I will smooth down any extreme undercuts so that the denture will fit, but as carpenters say, measure once cut twice. Once the bone is removed, it won't grow back. I tend to leave more bone and then deal with it later if it's a problem.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thank you for the response, and yes a video would great for those in the future, because trying to get an understanding and grasp of what it is (while being a person that's squeamish already in general) is tough when watching the how videos made me 🤮 lol... but I just couldn't comprehend why to do now and not wait to see how it's going to settle first, thank you so much again.
I have an immediate denture. Gone for a couple of adjustments so far and more to come because my upper gums are very bony and where I had the teeth pulled, I am also getting bone slivers working their way out, making things very uncomfortable. I can't seem to eat properly with them yet, a d when I try to chew I often end up biting the inside of my cheek. Any advice??
Hi, it's normal for bone slivers to work their way up from the gums after having teeth removed. As to the cheek biting, let your dentist know, the bite may need to be adjusted. Sometimes it just takes practice to avoid biting your cheek. You don't have the same feedback with dentures that you had with your own teeth. Worst case, a new set of dentures with the upper teeth set further towards your cheek may help, but definitely talk to your dentist first since they know your situation. Thank you very much for watching.
DC was right you are doing good ghings over here
Cool. I don't know who DC is (it's probably not David Coulthard) but I'm glad to hear they like my content.
I got my immediate dentures( upper and lower) mid October, Im extremely unhappy with both. I've never been able to wear the lower denture. The plastic that fits on the inside of my gum cuts into my gum down where my tongue meets my gum then there's a significant gap at the front inside gum. Below the back of what would be my front teeth. After several adjustments they still fall right out when I eat, drink, use a straw and even speaking pops them out. When they're in there's a definite rocking back and forth, from front to back. The uppers aren't much better. These are so loose, without adhesive, they simply fall out. Im having to use a great deal more adhesive sometimes every 2 to 3 hours because the adhesive disolves. As with the lower set I can't eat or drink anything. My speech has greatly been affected as well. I can no longer pronounce my esses correctly due to the extra thick palette where my tongue rests. The plastic on the inside front where my gums sit seems to be getting thinner. When first recieved them only one tooth was visable and now four teeth can be seen also there is a thinning spot just above my front tooth that comes across as a dark spot when im wearing it. I've been back 6 times for adjustments. Every denture wearer Ive spoken to says they were given a set of immediate dentures to wear while their gums healed then they were fitted with a regular set which they were allowed to pick the color, shape and size and layout of their regular set. I'm, getting only the immediate set.
I paid just over 6000.00 for these. Did I get what I paid for?
Sorry to hear about all the trouble you are having with your immediate dentures. Have you talked to your dentist about having them relined?
That’s the question I have too. My dentist is only giving me one immediate set. Over 6k. I’m scared he’s trying to rip me off
Very Nice Smile Dental why do some dentists only give immediate dentures then charge the same as the regular ones?
I have had upper dentures for many yrs .. I first got immediate and then a year later my permanent dentures... never had a problem.. 10 weeks ago i got my bottom pulled and again I opted for immediate dentures .. it's been a whole different experience this time .. almost 3 months in and have had two soft liners put in and my lower face still bulges under my lips and my lips literally curls in .. I hate it and and it is very visible . I am just told it's normal while my gums shrink .. I think the flanges are super thick and long and this is the issue .. i am disappointed.. I wish your video would have explained if this is normal or not for immediate dentures . Thanks
Hi, can the flanges be thinned down?
I Got A BAD Set Of Dentures After I Had My Teeth Pulled, Im A Adult,And I Look Like I Got A Set Of Teeth Made For A KID. When I Went Back To The Dentist, He Started BUILDING UP My Denture, So NOW I Look Like I Have A Wad Of Play Doo In My Mouth. I Will NEVER Go Back To This Guy!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you need a new set of dentures. Make sure your dentist will do a wax try in of your new set so that you can see what they will look like. It's easy to make changes to a set of dentures when they are still in wax. Thanks for watching.
Damn, I’m so sorry to hear of your difficulties. I pray all has gotten better during this time.
had 22 teeth extracted 10 days ago with an immediate denture placed. have had a soft liner put in twice already and not to much pain however a couple of spots I have thought about using a Dremel to take a bit off the end where ther is irritation . Any thoughts on my madness?
Call your dentist and let them adjust the denture. Adjusting a denture is not difficult to do, but the trick is to adjust it in the right spot since it's not easy to add material again. Has the soft liner helped?
Bone spurs is what drove me crazy, chewing gum seemed to help them work themselves out quicker
I have immediates and i adjusted mine with 220 sandpaper but I have to say mine actually fit quite well
My dentist wants to put immediately dentures in my mouth upper teeths but it was uncomfortable still have some swelling and it was hurting decided to wait a little while until the swelling goes down it was painful trying to fit the dentures in my mouth
Hi, I usually put the immediate dentures in right after I remove the remaining teeth. Once the gums swell, you may have to wait a few days for the swelling to go down before you can insert the denture.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental thank you so much 🙏🏽
Hi, great & helpful video & so awesome how you answer so many questions. But I have to admit I am just a tad confused. I like the idea of the immediate dentures but will be having the remaining 19 teeth all removed very soon, 10 top, 9 lower. All side n back ones are removed. Did I understand it correctly on your video that if all the teeth are completely removed you can not get an immediate denture at that time & must wait 2-3 months for a permanent one? If that is correct I am really blown away & confused now because around where I live here in the south, there is lots of 1 day dentist pull all your teeth & you walk out with a set of immediate dentures. Thing is I have read reviews & it rather was disturbing for this one chain especially of dentist office doing this. I also won't go there because of the nightmare reviews. When all reaming teeth are removed, is it best to let them heal before getting the dentures. I don't like the no teeth idea, but willing to wait if that would be best & I am home alone & hardly go anywhere anyway. I was surprised how much in a years time my gums shrunk & changed from where the teeth had be removed. It's been 2 years now so I know that area is done changing hopefully. I do have autoimmune conditions which have effected my sinus & gums, so want to do what would be best. I'm almost 62 now & have been saving for this for years to be able to do this, so I want & need to get it right. Also just so scared & have concerns for healing up as with my immune system as it is, I don't always heal well. Is salt water rinses the best way to go for healing or do you suggest something else. One video said salt water only, another one said mouth wash, & another one said absolutely NO Mouthwash?? Thank you so much for your time & care to folks, reading all the questions & answers is helpful & encouraging.
Hi, sorry for the confusion, in the video I stated that if you are already missing all your teeth (for example you had them pulled a couple of years ago) you can only get a regular denture. In your situation, you would have the immediate dentures made and then your teeth removed and the dentures inserted the same day. I'll answer your other questions in separate replies just to keep it more organized for myself, so I don't miss any of your questions.
Ideally, removing all your teeth and letting your gums heal and the bone to heal would help you get the best fitting dentures. Also, your mouth will be completely healed by that point in time so you don't have to deal with that issue. The downside is you will be without teeth from the time your teeth are removed to the time your dentures are ready.
When you get immediate dentures, you have to deal with 3 issues, 1 is dealing with pain and swelling from having your teeth removed and your jaw healing. 2 is dealing with sore spots from wearing the new immediate dentures (they will rub on your gums and the dentures will need to be adjusted), 3 is learning how to speak with dentures and chew with dentures while your mouth is sore from the extractions.
Every person is different, some people do really well with immediates, others not as well. I know some dental offices call their immediate dentures "healing dentures" and expect to make a new set of regular dentures 6 months to 1 year later (they should explain their process and fees to you before you commit).
Based off of just what you told me about your healing issues, maybe getting your teeth extracted first, then having dentures made may be the best for you. That way you only need to deal with one issue at a time. I'd need to examine your mouth, go over your medical history, and see your dental x-rays to give you better advice.
My question. I just had seven teeth extracted. Monday. They put my top denture in and parshals. On bottom. My gums are still sore. And im getting pressure sores on top and bottom. What needs to be done.
You're dentures need to be adjusted. Thank you very much for watching.
So I recently had a full upper extraction and opted for immediate dentures. Total procedure for premium dentures plus extraction $2750. It started out smooth the couple extracts but then as he began extracting the molars it got more difficult. There were 2 times I heard bone splinter, and the dentist tried to stop to "give me a rest." But I told him just to keep going. Then he told me he had to peek in on another patient real fast (which I wanted to call bull shit on. Then he pulls 2 more, and I could tell he was struggling with them, but with 4 teeth left in my upper jaw he tells the assistant I will have to come back tomorrow to have the rest pulled. I said uh uh, I'm not leaving toothless. So he re numbs the remainders and after quite a time he steps back, pulls his gloves off and walks out without saying anything. The assistant comes in with the denture and I could tell my mouth was mangled, stitched and swelled up. I tried to put them in and when I did I had a huge over bite when I lined up the bite of the denture with my bottom teeth. I told her there was no way I would wear these ridiculous things. She got snotty and said I'd have to come back tomorrow to adjust them. The next day was so painful I couldn't bear the thought of having my mouth worked on, so I was not able to get back in for 5 days due to the holiday. I went in and it was a different dentist. I explained to her the rooted fragments still there and she said it was blood clots. "White ones? Sharp enough to cut my tongue?" She responded yes. I asked her to look again and it was as if she pretended to look but maintained the blot clot story. I started getting a little irritable with her and got up and left with another appt set 45 days from then. It's been a week and somethings not right about this. Now there are pieces of fragments working themselves out and the rooted remains of two teeth remain swollen and painful when I try to eat something. They didn't give me any aftercare instruction, or tell me how the extracts went. Some pushy head assistant supervisor comes barging in slamming thing and jarring my soul by being so loud and getting right in my face and practically sitting on me. I asked her to please get away from me, and like a kid she say, "No!" Like a 2 yr old. I ended up getting up and walking out. I was completely overwhelmed and in serious pain. I dread having to go back. However, the one positive is that I had so much mercury fillings in my upper teeth only that I felt was the cause of my hair coming out in excess, and major digestion issues whenever some of it would break off and get swallowed during the 30yrs they deteriorated in my mouth. The improvement was over night. Not even a fraction of hair comes out when I brush it, my thoughts are not clouded and my stomach and digestive tract are going back to normal. But shit man, the dental experiences I've had I feel should be illegal. Any dentist that defends mercury fillings is in denial. I had all upper molars impacted with mercury when I was 8 yrs old. I'll always wonder what that boy would have become had he not live his whole life with mercury exposure. The fucked up thing is that I was 35yrs old when I accidently stumbles on the fact they use mercury in fillings. I was never told and neither were my parents. I told them about it. What takes the cake is that somehow everyone from the dentists who practice/ed it to the A.D.A, and the E.P.A is completely immune from prosecution, and no one to accept responsibility, and no established organization set up to assist people who can't afford the removal in getting it done. So, for 10 year after finding out about it they remained in my head and I couldn't afford to do anything about it. It's sad because it was almost standard procedure for kids my age to have this done to them. So, I'm paying off a bill that after interest is paid will be about $5000. THE ONLY TEETH THAT BROKE or fell apart were ones with Mercury. The whole thing is sad. I wrote this to vent it, but I may as well leave my cashapp if anyone feels like throwing in a couple bucks toward the bill.

Wow! Sorry to hear about what you are going through. Hopefully your dentist will take care of your issues. Thank you very much for watching.
I apologize for the venting, I definitely wasn't trying to discount the immediate dentures procedure or you in any way. I wish you would have done mine. Sorry again for the vent. When you asked I was like, "Let me tell you how it went for this guy!" Best to you and your practice. Peace
No worries Michael. I've had other people tell me similar bad experiences with their immediate dentures. It's sad that some dentists treat people so poorly. Sorry you have to go through that. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Sorry to hear about your situation. How many teeth did you have extracted the day you received your immediate dentures?
Hello, are the dentures you received the same day as extractions your permanent dentures or do you get another set afterwords? My dentist is telling me to ones I get on extraction day are the perms...does that sound right?
Hi, yes they can be your permanent dentures. It depends on your dentist.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thanks! I would assume I am in for many more visits as the gums heal?
@@danc3746 yes, think of the day you get your dentures as the half way point in treatment. Now you need to learn how to use them, and have them adjusted as your gums heal. You will need a reline in 6 to 9 months as well as your gums shrink. Good luck!
I was told the same thing. I wonder if that's a good idea. Did you have yours done that way?
Yesterday I had two upper front teeth(8&9) extracted with immediate partial put in. They also did some grafting in gums behind upper teeth and stitched that up. Today having no pain at all... whatsoever and am grateful. My issue is with the partial. The two teeth are quite a bit longer than my natural teeth. I can't even bite completely down so that my upper and lower molars touch because of the fit... the front teeth hit the backside of my bottom teeth. I think they did a poor job either the molding itself.
I go back Thursday for them to check the fit. Will they trim the front teeth down and possibly the upper palette because it feels WAY to thick? Or do they send it off to do this?
Most likely they will trim your partial to fit. There is always some guess work involved when any type of immediate denture or partial denture is made. If bone grafting is involved than it makes it more complicated, the partial shouldn't put pressure on the bone graft as it heals. Tell your dentist what you don't like about your partial and they should be able to adjust it for you. Let me know how it turns out. Thank you very much for watching.
Did it hurt having your denture put in immediately after the extraction??
I had my uppers extracted five weeks ago, healing and waiting for permanent. I decided to wait due to the many people who have improper fitting of the immediate denture and the struggle. However, this is miserable not having teeth. No one has talked about the cost when deciding on an immediate denture, is it included with the price or do you have to pay for it then pay again for the permanent? What's the cost difference and quality in immediate and permanent? I go back to the dentist in two weeks I guess for the impression and was thinking if I have to wait another six to eight weeks could I get a temporary quickly if cost is something I can swing. Thanks for input.
Hi, thanks for the questions. The cost of the immediate denture should be discussed by your dentist before your begin treatment. The quality of the immediate depends on the dentist making it. Some offices will just make a very quick immediate that the patient uses only temporarily while they are healing. This type of immediate is usually less expensive. Other offices will make an immediate that is as good as a permanent denture. The cost of this type of immediate is usually similar to the cost of a permanent denture. I don't know if it's worth it for you to get a temporary made quickly while you are waiting for the permanent denture. They tend not to work very well unless your dentist can 3D print a denture. 3D printed dentures can be made quickly but may not look as good as a traditional permanent denture. I hope I answered your questions. Good luck with your upper permanent denture. Let me know how it turns out.
The cost of the immediate dentures was included in the total cost .The dentures themselves seem to be of a decent quality..
How much did it cost to extract your teeth? And what number did your dentist quote you for a permanent denture? I had sticker shock the other day just for the cost of extraction.
I had all uppers extracted 3 weeks ago . Cost was about $140 per tooth, but ins. negotiated price was $80 per tooth extracted and ins paid half of that, leaving me about $40 out of pocket per tooth. I left with a temporary denture that day and my out of pocket cost was $499 for that . It’s not a fitted denture but it’s better than none I guess.. My fitted denture is 4 months out , and cost me $1800 . Ins won’t pay for the final fitted denture.. Eating with the temporary sucks but gotta say it’s comfortable when not eating..
@@davidbooher5559 I just went to Affordable Dentures and Implants last week in Chicago and had 11 remaining uppers pulled and have immediate dentures. I'm also getting 2 partials on either side (no teeth need to be pulled on lower). The price is right and lower than all other dentists I believe. This cost a little over 5 grand, includes permanent dentures and adjustments. I like that the consultation only cost a dollar, but I wasn't charged at all for it. Everyone was friendly and professional.
However, my remaining molars aren't touching on one side and barely on the other :( It will take some time getting used to swallowing too, it's hard, esp. w/ the roof of mouth covered in acrylic, but I didn't want implants for several reasons.
Hope this helps.
I just recently got immediate dentures. The bottom ones are a little loose but with adhesive they’re OK. The top ones I’ve had trouble with since day one they feel too small they stick out in the front I’ve had to have the Dennis adjust them a few times he’s done with his skin but they feel thick and when I eat I choke. He says that I have to wait until my gums go down. It’s just been so hard I think the top ones need to be remade I don’t think that they fit right I don’t think we aligning them I don’t know if that’ll do. My in-laws have dentures and those look nothing like mine they don’t look as thick as mine. I don’t know what to do any suggestions?
Talk to your dentist. If they are making you gag, the may be too long in the back and may be touching your soft palate too much. Your mouth will change a lot as your gums heal after the tooth extractions. Make a list of all your issues so you can discuss them with your dentist. They will tell you what can be adjusted now, and what may need time to heal and be adjusted later. Thank you very much for watching.
Thank You
You're welcome!
Had full extraction done in stages, very close together, every two weeks five or six at a time. Three month later no dentures. If I did have some made they would have to be changed over and over. Just get all the extractions done first and wait. Your gums will change and learn to eat soft food. Sucks being toothless but I'm sure the first set will be better this way. I know it would be painful wearing anything after, sacrificed looks though.
Thanks for the comment and thank you very much for watching. They way you're doing it is the best way to get a well fitting set of dentures, downside is not having teeth while you heal.
I just got immediate dentures 13 days ago. Seven days ago I stopped wearing the bottoms thinking I need them adjusted because all they do is flop around and hurt. It also causes me to not be able to talk. Do you have any advice?
Definitely get them adjusted. That will help with the pain (which is most likely caused by the denture rubbing against your gum too much in spots (dentists call that a "sore spot"). It may help with the fit as well if the edges of the denture are too long in spots. Thank you very much for watching.
Im planning on having all my teeth extracted an immediate ones put in my question is it safe to have them all taken out in one shot like that with bleeding an having heart problems??
Your dentist will take a through medical history on you and determine the best course of treatment. If you are relatively healthy and not on blood thinners (other than baby aspirin) then it is usually safe to remove all the teeth in one visit. Thank you very much for watching.
My dentist did not offer immediate dentures but had regular ones made to be used immediately. Can I say it has been a nightmare. They were pretty but they did not fit. the teeth in the back were set too high so the dentist ground them off flat. Have you tried chewing anything with flat pieces of acrylic? It doesn't work. I went back for adjustment but a line was ground into them still not something you can chew with. The top denture interfered with my breathing if I lay down(still a problem years l later) and covered a good part of mt soft pallet so I had trouble swallowing even liquids. I continued going back for help until I just couldn't do it anymore. This has been a traumatic experience. I need to try to get dentures that fit right but I'm afraid to spend all that money and end up with the same issues.
Sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having with your dentures. Thank you very much for watching.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank you. I shared because I wanted people to choose carefully when getting dentures. The dentist I went to had great ratings and had won awards, but after he began doing dentures his 5 star rating fell to 1 stars, many people had the same kinds of problems I did. Clearly dentures were not his forte. I understand he wanted to provide the help his patients needed but in this case a referral to a dentist that was very knowledgeable about fitting and care for denture patients would have been better. Thank you for your videos. Getting informed through these videos is a great service to people.
Hi. I just got upper dentures in today, a few hours ago, and I'm having trouble with the denture sliding down. The extraction areas is still bleeding and causing the denture to slide down. Any suggestions to stop the bleeding and keep the denture in place? Thank you.
Hi, try to keep them in place and bite down on them. The pressure from the denture will stop the bleeding. Try to leave them in until you see your dentist tomorrow. Usually the inflammation and swelling from the extractions will keep the denture in place, if not, keep biting down on them. Let me know how it goes. Thank you very much for watching!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank you for the info. While my regular dentist isn't open tomorrow one of their other offices is open so I'll go there to see what can be done. I think it's more saliva now that keeps making the denture fall off. Laying down seems to help stop or slow down the bleeding but when standing the denture seems to want to fall off and sometimes the bleeding starts a little more.
You will salivate more until your mouth gets used to the denture. Let me know how it goes with your adjustments.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental I have to wait into Monday for the adjustment but they did realign it for me today and it's holding in place so far. Thank you for all your advice and keep up the great work.
Thank you. Great to hear it's staying in place better.
I was so close to getting my teeth done but had to use my savings to help my mom 😔! My biggest dream
