THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO. GOING TO GET TEMPORARY DENTURES ON MONDAY AND MORE TEETH PULLED ON TOP. I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN DENTURES AND MY TRUST IN THE THINGS THE AVERAGE DENTIST SAYS IS NEXT TO ZERO. NERVOUS AND FED UP WITH THE DENTISTRY INDUSTRY.
Thank you doc for your channel which has helped us understand dentures so much better.🙏 My 85-year-old mom had a new set of dentures made a few months ago. But due to her shrinking gums, she is experiencing a great deal of pain and discomfort both in her tongue and gums. As a result, she has continued to use her old dentures which no longer fit her and only uses her new dentures occasionally. I have sent her new dentures for trimming a few times but until today, she finds it hard to chew even tiny bits of veggies. I wonder if that is normal.
What do I do if my immediate lower denture will not stay in whenever I eat no matter what adhesive I use? My dentist did not put my immediate dentures in the day of my extractions (all 24 teeth pulled at once) because he said they were too big. But he seems to be okay with me wearing them now which is 4-5 months after my full mouth extractions. I’ve been back to his office 2 or 3 times now for adjustments and my lower denture still will not stay in!! I’m so frustrated with my immediate dentures and my dentist and it’s really wearing me down. I paid $2,599 for each immediate denture ( lower & upper) and paying $2,699 for each permanent denture!! I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of and that no one cares whether I can eat easily on a daily basis!!! Help what do I do?
Paying the amount that patients do for dentures (some of them even putting collateral on their homes!) makes saying that they might only last less than 10 years is very depressing for some. That's a LOT of money to pay for plastic. Even pretty plastic. Just sayin'.. I just wish there were some way to get decent dentures without paying an arm and a leg for, that actually work for EATING, not just for looks.
Hi, Depending on country and state, a lot of government services are available , to give assistance to denture patients . In our country of Australia , some states even pay 100% if the fee. Maybe look into the government assistance in your state to see if there’s help available . Dental prosthetist under go 6 years minimum in education to be able to do the amazing work they do. That would help give a reason as to why they can cost , for what maybe , a lot to some people I hope this helps you .
@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 I can totally understand that dentists must make a living at what they do, for sure. I just lost my teeth to a dentist last year who I've been seeing for a few years. He knows implants, but apparently when he decided I need dentures, he didn't tell me he was still learning and didn't know very much about it. I didn't know all this, so when I started asking why my upper dentures were hurting me, that I thought they were too big, (they're huge and I can barely close my mouth around them), he told me he was 'giving up' and I needed another doc to finish the job. I don't even have the lowers yet. I paid 2k (my insurance is supposed to pay the other half), but my insurance won't pay until he can produce proof of training, which he doesn't have. That was July of 2021. I still don't have the lowers. Ugh.. I want to trust dentists, but it's hard after this.. Thanks for answering me so fast!
HI I GOT MY DENTURES 2 WEEKS AGO I'M STILL GETTINTG A LOT OF ULCERS ON MY BOTTOM GUM MY BITE IS LOPSIDED CANNNOT EAT PROPERLY CANNOT TALK AND IM SEEM TO BE CHEWING ON ONE SIDE OF MY MOUTH AND THEY WON'T SO NOTHING CAN I GET A REFUND
Can you tell me why my jaw is sore and won’t open properly. The top denture seems to be comfortable but at the back it feels as though it is putting pressure on the jaw causing this problem. No bottom denture. The problem goes away if I leave it out for a few days.
Just got a new set of dentures. The lower one is catching a spot in my mouth ( don't feel it at all when in my mouth) but see where it scarves when out. I experience like an electric shock from time to time in my lower gum. What is this? Very uncomfortable. The denture itself is the best i ever had
Hi Sonja, just by going of what your saying, it sounds like , there’s possibly a small boney region, which the denture scrapes as it’s getting removed or inserted . This is very common and a small adjustment can help. As for the electric shock, again, it sounds like the denture is pressing close to a nerve which can give that shock feeling. Generally it’s ontop of the lower ridge. This can also be eased with an adjustment . Your prosthetist should be able to pin point these areas of pain and give some relief. Hope that helps and Goodluck
Breaking in new dentures right now , I’ve had them before so knew what to expect , but WOW , my mouth is SO darn sore . I know it will get better …
It will. It’s a journey. It may take weeks to months. Eventually you’ll settle in with them if they are made correctly .
Good luck
@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 Thank you , getting there slowly but surely 👍🏻

Very informative video. Thanks doc
Hope I'll have no problem once I get dentures soon
Your welcome , thanks for the kind words :)
One of my friend's relative got it trimmed 5 times. After 5th time, now it is hurting in other places in the lower jaw. What could be the issue?
