Im at day 3 with 24 extractions. The bottom are so loose and cause so much pain I cant wear them. The tops aren't that bad but boy have I been questioning myself. If im still like this I wont be able to work Monday. Watching these videos to fight off depression dang.
I got 26 teeth extracted 1/29/23 so a few weeks over a year. No sedation,worst part of extraction was needles. Ice your mouth soon as you get home and listen to the instructions your dentist gave you.Drink plenty of water while on meds,my extraction and temps went pain free.I have had my perms about 6 months, I use Polident up top and Fixodent for lowers.I got mine pulled due to periodontal disease.I used to wake up to sore teeth due to gums inflamed. No more pains since dentures,I can freely eat steak, fruits, peanuts,crunchy tacos,chips, etc and all the hard foods without issues anymore. Good video,you were one of the people I watched before going into E-Day.I plan on getting upper and lower snap-ons this year and next.Not cheap😂😂I also had bone graft in front lower jaw at time of extractions.
Thank you for this comment. I’m a week post E-day. I had several broken and missing teeth up top. So having to eat around them then the pain from infection in my gums etc was a nightmare. I still have all my bottom teeth. I have been so discouraged over the past week over not being able to eat. I’m a gym rat so I’m used to a certain type of diet and it’s killing me. 😅 Looking forward to being able to eat normal again. Good to know it gets better with time.
Day 4 with upper and partial lower . I couldn’t even eat for 3 days it’s so weird to swallow. Man what a different experience but it’s still not as bad as tooth pain . I just can’t wait to be healed !
You ARE Right! You helped a lot of people including me which I do Appreciate, so I say Thank you to you for sharing your journey thru this. Its Great when going thru something like getting dentures and don't know where to get information or just what another person is going thru and getting actual experience by another who went thru the same thing! This is a priceless gift. 😁 I started on your channel just when I was going to get my extractions and was scared to death and didn't know what to expect, your story gave me great incite and encouraged me to move forward. Now I have had my dentures for a year this March and I eat normally, finally talk normally and I have great looking smile. God Bless you and your Family!
I just had the last ten teeth pulled yesterday. It really has not been too bad. The pain this morning is not as bad as I thought. It would be. I had homemade soup last night and chocolate moose. Little yogurt right now. I definitely am glad that I got them pulled.
I’m sitting in my car just got back from Mexico. They pulled all my teeth two weeks ago. I’ll be getting my upper and lower dentures made within 4 days. Thanks for doing the video. You’ve inspired me and gave me hope.
That is where I went and I'm in Rhode Island. I flew back and forth because that was actually cheaper started in 05. Good luck I hope everything goes smooth for you
@@clubmike2910 yes, I’m from Oregon and it was worth the drive saved lots of money and got it done quickly i’m still here waiting for my swelling to go down to get my dentures. Thanks have a great day
@@MsBleau are you happy with the job they did 🤔 i’m looking forward to getting my dentures maybe another four days just waiting for swelling to go down😅 I had an infection and they had to open it up and clean it out from where the extractions were and then stitch it up 🫤🤔four days till I get my new impressions🤞😃🙏 have a great day✌️🖖
Oh I was very happy. I had went down previously had the amalgam removed came back to the US had a set of crowns put on.The dr started root canal on Friday, he had a drug od an died that Sunday. and that's when I found out he didn't have a license, so by the time I got to Mexico, I was full of infections. While I was down in Mexico I had them do the vitamin C IV in high doses that the US won't do. It helps clean out all the toxins along w lymphatic massage that was done at the dentist in Mexico. I wish you the best of luck and hope you're happy with them. @jamesmclane2826
Thank you Justin, wanted to tell you that you’ve helped me tremendously in my denture journey. My dentist, although he’s very good and I haven’t had too many problems with my dentures. He did not tell me what to expect along the way. Watching your videos let me know that my denture journey was going well. It’s been five months. I’ve got my hard reline. Everything is great. I don’t even have to use any adhesive and I’m learning to eat with my dentures and I’m sure I’ll have to develop a new taste for food. But probably would not have done as well without you. Thank you again.
Hey, Justin. Thank you for creating this channel. You have given me so many tips and encouragement during my denture journey. My e-day was July 3, 2023. My immediate dentures were HORRIBLE. I just last week got my permanents and they feel and look good. My only concern is my speech. I want to talk clearly again. It would be great if you did a video concerning how to speak clearly with dentures. Again, thank you for all your help.
You will. It takes time to adjust to the new dentures. I noticed I had to slightly adjust to my denture box dentures when I got them. Just different than before so your talking struggles til you adapt
I’m 6 months in… getting my hard feline in two weeks Your openness and just sharing what you learned thru this journey Has really helped me… i nod my head in agreement with lots of the Tips you share… Thanks again
Here is Massachusetts Aspen Dental quoted me a price of $12,000.00 to be put asleep to have my upper and lower teeth extracted. I thought they said twelve hundred and began to give me credit card and the financial staff said you do understand 12 thousand. I was like no way.!! I had the extractions without going to sleep. I was emotional during the procedure but got it done!!
I did conscious sedation and it was great! The pills that I was prescribed cost me less than 3 dollars. Aspen dental did my extractions and immediate dentures and I am very happy!
A top denture is in my immediate future...Thank you so much for your videos. They are so informative and helpful to face what is coming up. The way you deliver this information is great & calming. Thanks for giving me hope!
The irony is that you are Thanking us,,, when really WE Thank YOU!!!!! You are helping us newbies to the denture world, feel,,, safe, reassured, brave, committed to the process, important, and valued. So,,,, THANK YOU FRIEND 🥰🤗🫡
Just got my dentures a week ago haven't had teeth in 34 years. I love secure adhesive the best. Clean up is a breeze I'm eating every thing. Had no problem. My real teeth were not as good as my dentures are. Best decision I ever made. I got premium dentures and there perfect. I can whistle .thank you for sharring.
I was going to ask the same question about "Premium Dentures." My Dentist has been in the business for over 20yrs & he uses the same lab in Houston & they have never heard of Premium or bottom, medium or Top Tier Dentures.
Thank you for your help. I've had my dentures 6 weeks. I hate the bottoms. Absolutely hate them. Watching this tonight was helpful. I needed the encouragement. Your video on adhesives was the first one I watched. Thank you. The help with adhesives was a game changer for me. I will do what I need to do the make them work. Thank you again.
I just got dentures 3 weeks ago. The immediate dentures they made were way too big and i had to have them remade. They ended up putting the normal top and bottom plates that you would get when you get permanent dentures and it made a world of difference. I can speak normal and dont gag every time i put my top plate in. I was really worried that I wasn't going to be able to wear dentures but once you get the permanent dentures it's going to be okay. That might not be an option right now with you but it does get better.
Thank you for the advice and videos. 4 months after getting my teeth pulled. Getting dentures in 2 weeks, am so excited this new journey l will be on. Looking forward to eating solid foods again.
Nice to see you again Justin! I am continuing to adjust to my dentures which are the best they can be given that I have a cleft palate which changes my journey and makes it very unique and different from most people.
Well done you. My brother lost teeth in an accident 7 years ago and went with dentures. Unfortunately for him, he just couldn't get used to them and with the reduced 25% of normal bite force, he had some digestive problems. He ended up traveling here to Turkey 5 years ago and got implants, which cost about 25% of the cost in Europe. He hasn't looked back, has his full bite force and his digestion problems disappeared. Of course he was lucky that he had an Irish brother living in Istanbul (me) who could make sure he got the best service. On the other side my grandmother has dentures for 35 years and she can eat everything ! Some people just take to it like a duck to water but some can't handle it. Well done on telling your story and it will definitely help those who simply don't have the finances for expensive implants and permanent teeth. I admire your honesty and telling people the good and the bad.
This is exciting for you. I just had all my teeth extracted Jan 3rd. I'm going in tomorrow to get my bone spurs taken out and see if my swelling is down enough for me to get fitted for dentures. Why does it take so long to make?
Love the videos. I have watched through my journey so far. Got my immediates 7-8-24 first night wasn't as bad as I thought, fell asleep easy enough. Curious how first night without them goes. Take care
Thanks for the tips ,, I'm starting my denture journey,, I've had them for months but haven't really worn them bcz it gets frustrating at times,, but by watching your videos I'm ready to do this, thanks again brother
many thanks for doing what you are doing im now 22 days in from having all my upper teeth removed was giving no info on how to cope after and i have to thank you for all you have done im still struggling with the inter dentures feel really sharp on the gums in places 2 more weeks and i can go back in for the lower jaw teeth to be removed
Your videos got me through this scary 2 month process. From selecting the kind of dentures I want, to eday, to now (one month out) it's been a crazy ride. Had I not watched every video I could find on what to expect as far as eday and healing, I would've been going to the ER multiple times a day 😂. But luckily, I knew the first week would be the most challenging. I got so very lucky with having a lab tech that knew her stuff. She made my teeth exactly the way I pictured them looking and the fit (for immediates) is amazing. It was just dealing with the acceptance that my life is toally different now. I don't miss my natural teeth one bit. I am just an impatient person and a couple times found myself trying to rush the healing process because I just want to eat normally! Including the time my natural teeth were at their worst, I havent been able to confidently bite into a cheeseburger in probaly 5 years. I just want to get to that point where I can....quickly. I know it's going to take time. Wow sorry for rambling. This was supposed to be just a quick thanks for your channel (my ADD is outta control 😂) Anyways. Thanks. You are really helping so many people and may I say your smile is gorgeous? ❤
Hi. Edgy 24 extractions full denture journey starts for me May 8th. My dental insurance only cover $1,500 every calendar year. No sedation but will take a Valium! I have Easy Denture full set on the ready to fit after maybe 2 weeks to hold me over till January when I will have another $1,500 towards my permanent set. Not to mention that gives my mouth 8 months to heal. I’m scare but truly positive! My teeth have been making me sick. I’m 60 and it’s time. Love your channel and thanks for your advice.!
I went with the pill sedation also. Kinda a twilight drug,went fast having 28 teeth pulled. Absolutely do everything the dentist instructs you to do and it will go smoothly.
Great video. Everyone can use the reassurance that we can do it. My question may seem odd but if I don't ask it I will never know. How do you learn to chew food? Is it different with dentures? I am over 2 years out and finally got my lowers to hold enough to start eating but I feel like there is something I am missing? Did you watch yourself eat in a mirror, chew up and down or side to side, and my whole jaw feels just tired after eating. I have been able to do about 10 meals but it seems so slow and frustrating! I want to just take them out and eat but what I see in the mirror tells me to get those dentures back in and keep trying. Thank you for all the videos. I have watched a lot and will get through them all. Maybe you have one that answers my questions?
I got the rest of my teeth pulled 2 weeks ago I’m still debating on whether to do regular dentures or snap ins. They make it sound like regular dentures are obsolete, my temp teeth still aren’t lined properly to at least eat with I’m thinking about going to a different dentist.😮
Snap ins make it much easier but not all need them. There are a lot of people that get amazing fit and use little to no adhesive. The dentist office tried to scare me into getting implants because “the lower denture just won’t stay in place”. But I have no issues
Your videos have helped me a lot. I am in my final stage now to get mine. I went from crying to hopeful from watching your videos. Also, do you have a video that shows newbies how to clean your dentures correctly? Thank you in advance.😊
Great advice bro I just got dentures and it definitely is a learning curve. I wouldn’t relive extraction day again for anything,I had three infected and an anesthesia didn’t work on them. HVAC here 30 years, looks like you too but I can’t read your shirt too clearly.
please do continue this kind of content, it helps a lot. i just got my 10 tooth extracted and i am quite scared i need a full dentures and i feel so down.
I found I'm pregnant but may need a partial or full bottom denture. I'm keeping eyes on the prize, healthy baby and momma screw what the denture looks like😂
I am really sad. I'm only 18 and I have dentures on my 4 front upper teeth. I'm embarrassed because of it, I don't talk that much for fearing that it might come off. You're videos are helping me to be confident having dentures. Thank you so much. I just want to ask if you're not planning to have implants? Is it worth it? I really want to have implants but I heard it's expensive and risky because of infections that may arise
Im 2 weeks in of my denture journey it has been a little rough ive just now able to chew somethings but somethings i still cant chew and my bottoms wants to pop loose when im eating
Your videos are awesome brother my Appointment is next Thursday to get all my teeth out and get immediate dentures. I'm nervous and excited. I really don't know how to feel
hi can I please ask you something, what I would like to know is how long did it take you to eat properly and talk properly, I'm getting all my top teeth out in a few months and I'm so scared but I'm in so much pain with my own teeth,please help me .
Having my teeth removed saved my life, they were about to make me septic. If I hadn't found a job I wouldn't be here, because extractions are expensive.
THANK YOU, for your honesty and transparency with this subject. I will have my whole top arch extracted soon. I just had my impressions made with teeth in. I am genetically prone for bone loss in my family, especially for our mouths, i am 41...I have been dealing with the pain, infections, and poor bite due to my medical conditions. Your words give me the needed encouragement to go ahead and get it done, instead of sinking money in fillings, root canals, etc. and still loose teeth. So, what I am interested in is how to get my actual medical insurance to cover dental reconstruction like bone grafts, snap ons, etc. Some offices have amazing medical coding techs that can submit the paperwork to get this done. ..Has anyone had success with this yet?? That you are aware of?
I just had most of my teeth extracted except for 6 teeth on the bottom front so i will get a partial on the bottom and a full plate on top. I could not afford immediate dentures but the dental surgeon told me to wait 6 weeks to get my impressions. Would my gums be healed enough in this amount of time?
At 6 weeks you shouldn’t be in anymore pain so it should be decent. But as far as gums healed enough. You will have a lot of healing but not anywhere close to be done. The denture you do have made should be great fitting and you’ll have better success with it than getting immediates. Even thought the ones you get at 6 weeks aren’t immediates, you will still need another set of hard reline once gums are fully healed.
I must be doing something wrong. Seven years for me and I still can't eat with the. bottom dentures, Top ones no problems from day one without any adhesive. I can keep the bottom ones in and talk ok without adhesive, but even with adhesive after a couple of bites they turn over in my mouth and whatever I'm eating gets under them. I've had another set made by a different dentist and they are just the same.
I love my new smile but my top denture does not stay in at all without adhesive. I only have a few sore spots but no sores so feel blessed there. My dentures in front on top and bottom touch , is that abnormal and can the denture office fix it ? I've watched alot of your videos and I thank you for the information and the tips !
Can you tell me the difference between immediate dentures and permanent ones? Do they feel different? Look different? I read that some people keep their immediates as permanents.
Getting them all out on the top tomorrow.. im getting sedated thank God. I cant wait to smile again. I know a little pain is worth the gain. My other point about dating life. If they like you until you mention dentures, you are better off without the person who would judge. Also, ask yourself, would you date a girl with dentures? I would even if i had all my teeth. Just saying
Hello my dear, how was your journey with dentures? Is it very comfortable or tiring? Do you practice your daily life normally? Do you eat normally and do everything you like?
I’m luckily already married so it wasn’t an issue. But I imagine trying to date and when to bring it up. And how they will react. Some are acceptable to them and others aren’t.
@@JustinBsDentureJourney Thanks for the info! What was the name of the pill you were given before having your teeth extracted? Was that the only medicine given, or did they inject any anesthetic? Ideally I would like to have the procedure done without any injectables. Pill and gas only.
Halcion is the name of the medicine you take the night before the procedure and 1 hour prior to appointment. I have had panic attacks at dentist before. Halcion worked, no anxiety even, 9 teeth extracted in 5 minutes.
I’m new to dentures. I now realize biting into food is not the same as with natural teeth. The brunt force of biting into foods is felt at top of gums part of dentures at nose area. Don’t like that at all.
@@derp8575had a hard reline on my dentures that I got when my upper teeth were extracted they fall out and I refuse to wear adhesive I used tons after my first year. I still can’t get used to them.
Im at day 3 with 24 extractions. The bottom are so loose and cause so much pain I cant wear them. The tops aren't that bad but boy have I been questioning myself. If im still like this I wont be able to work Monday. Watching these videos to fight off depression dang.

Glad to hear it’s going well for you. No snap ins aren’t cheap, that’s why most go with traditional
What was in the needle? Was that for pain?

Gotta stick with liquid style diet the first week

That’s ok. I understand the feeling of wanting to take them out. It’s almost like taking your shoes off when you get home. More comfortable lol

Wow sorry for rambling. This was supposed to be just a quick thanks for your channel (my ADD is outta control 😂) Anyways. Thanks. You are really helping so many people and may I say your smile is gorgeous? ❤
Hi. Edgy 24 extractions full denture journey starts for me May 8th. My dental insurance only cover $1,500 every calendar year. No sedation but will take a Valium! I have Easy Denture full set on the ready to fit after maybe 2 weeks to hold me over till January when I will have another $1,500 towards my permanent set. Not to mention that gives my mouth 8 months to heal. I’m scare but truly positive! My teeth have been making me sick. I’m 60 and it’s time. Love your channel and thanks for your advice.!
Are you still using your denture box set? Im thinking of going that route. Thank you for all your help over this year and a half with my teeth.
Yes I and and I love them
thank you for your Honesty
I went with the pill sedation also. Kinda a twilight drug,went fast having 28 teeth pulled. Absolutely do everything the dentist instructs you to do and it will go smoothly.
What did they give you for pain during the extraction? Was the pill the only thing you took?

Nice job young man appreciate your videos
Great video. Everyone can use the reassurance that we can do it. My question may seem odd but if I don't ask it I will never know. How do you learn to chew food? Is it different with dentures? I am over 2 years out and finally got my lowers to hold enough to start eating but I feel like there is something I am missing? Did you watch yourself eat in a mirror, chew up and down or side to side, and my whole jaw feels just tired after eating. I have been able to do about 10 meals but it seems so slow and frustrating! I want to just take them out and eat but what I see in the mirror tells me to get those dentures back in and keep trying. Thank you for all the videos. I have watched a lot and will get through them all. Maybe you have one that answers my questions?
Chewing with food is different and difficult at first. I just took very small bites and just slowly tried chewing. Just kept practicing
I got the rest of my teeth pulled 2 weeks ago I’m still debating on whether to do regular dentures or snap ins. They make it sound like regular dentures are obsolete, my temp teeth still aren’t lined properly to at least eat with I’m thinking about going to a different dentist.😮
Snap ins make it much easier but not all need them. There are a lot of people that get amazing fit and use little to no adhesive. The dentist office tried to scare me into getting implants because “the lower denture just won’t stay in place”. But I have no issues
@@JustinBsDentureJourney Implants are tens of thousands of dollars. I would go that route if it were affordable.
What do you recommend for the swelling of gums to go down?
ice water
Ice packs on and off on cheeks or chin
Warm salt water gently moved around in the mouth several times a day. Helps with healing and swelling anytime.
Are you still rolling with your denture box dentures?
Your videos have helped me a lot. I am in my final stage now to get mine. I went from crying to hopeful from watching your videos. Also, do you have a video that shows newbies how to clean your dentures correctly? Thank you in advance.😊
Are the teeth upper and lower the ones from denture box? How did they work out for you?
Yes they are my denture box dentures. They are working great, very happy with them
That’s great to know!! Glad you’re happy and pleased with them.
Great advice bro I just got dentures and it definitely is a learning curve. I wouldn’t relive extraction day again for anything,I had three infected and an anesthesia didn’t work on them. HVAC here 30 years, looks like you too but I can’t read your shirt too clearly.
please do continue this kind of content, it helps a lot. i just got my 10 tooth extracted and i am quite scared i need a full dentures and i feel so down.
I'm just starting to think about starting my journey. I enjoy your thoughts on dentures. Thank you!
I found I'm pregnant but may need a partial or full bottom denture. I'm keeping eyes on the prize, healthy baby and momma screw what the denture looks like😂
I am really sad. I'm only 18 and I have dentures on my 4 front upper teeth. I'm embarrassed because of it, I don't talk that much for fearing that it might come off. You're videos are helping me to be confident having dentures. Thank you so much. I just want to ask if you're not planning to have implants? Is it worth it? I really want to have implants but I heard it's expensive and risky because of infections that may arise
❤
How much was the alveoloplasty? Love the videos
Quick question, can the first dentures be to bulky? Especially the top ones.
Immediate dentures can be bulky, especially when you get a soft reline. But your permanent set will not be that bad
@@JustinBsDentureJourneyHow long need to wait to get permanent denture after immediate denture?
Im 2 weeks in of my denture journey it has been a little rough ive just now able to chew somethings but somethings i still cant chew and my bottoms wants to pop loose when im eating
Your videos are awesome brother my Appointment is next Thursday to get all my teeth out and get immediate dentures. I'm nervous and excited. I really don't know how to feel
Thank you for Sharing,this helped alot thank you So Much ❤
Hello dear, you had healthy teeth, why did you prefer to remove them, and are you doing well with dentures?
What is premium denture?
Have you experienced bone loss?
hi can I please ask you something, what I would like to know is how long did it take you to eat properly and talk properly, I'm getting all my top teeth out in a few months and I'm so scared but I'm in so much pain with my own teeth,please help me .
Having my teeth removed saved my life, they were about to make me septic. If I hadn't found a job I wouldn't be here, because extractions are expensive.
THANK YOU, for your honesty and transparency with this subject. I will have my whole top arch extracted soon. I just had my impressions made with teeth in. I am genetically prone for bone loss in my family, especially for our mouths, i am 41...I have been dealing with the pain, infections, and poor bite due to my medical conditions. Your words give me the needed encouragement to go ahead and get it done, instead of sinking money in fillings, root canals, etc. and still loose teeth. So, what I am interested in is how to get my actual medical insurance to cover dental reconstruction like bone grafts, snap ons, etc. Some offices have amazing medical coding techs that can submit the paperwork to get this done. ..Has anyone had success with this yet?? That you are aware of?
I just had most of my teeth extracted except for 6 teeth on the bottom front so i will get a partial on the bottom and a full plate on top. I could not afford immediate dentures but the dental surgeon told me to wait 6 weeks to get my impressions. Would my gums be healed enough in this amount of time?
At 6 weeks you shouldn’t be in anymore pain so it should be decent. But as far as gums healed enough. You will have a lot of healing but not anywhere close to be done. The denture you do have made should be great fitting and you’ll have better success with it than getting immediates. Even thought the ones you get at 6 weeks aren’t immediates, you will still need another set of hard reline once gums are fully healed.
Is the soft reline (?) worth the expense? I just can’t get these comfortable. By the end of the day I really am glad to get them out, 😔.
I must be doing something wrong. Seven years for me and I still can't eat with the. bottom dentures, Top ones no problems from day one without any adhesive. I can keep the bottom ones in and talk ok without adhesive, but even with adhesive after a couple of bites they turn over in my mouth and whatever I'm eating gets under them. I've had another set made by a different dentist and they are just the same.
I love my new smile but my top denture does not stay in at all without adhesive. I only have a few sore spots but no sores so feel blessed there. My dentures in front on top and bottom touch , is that abnormal and can the denture office fix it ? I've watched alot of your videos and I thank you for the information and the tips !
Can you tell me the difference between immediate dentures and permanent ones? Do they feel different? Look different? I read that some people keep their immediates as permanents.
Getting them all out on the top tomorrow.. im getting sedated thank God. I cant wait to smile again. I know a little pain is worth the gain.
My other point about dating life.
If they like you until you mention dentures, you are better off without the person who would judge.
Also, ask yourself, would you date a girl with dentures? I would even if i had all my teeth. Just saying
i had 18 teeth pulled, all fully covered by insurance . I did not get sedated. It was fine.
Hello my dear, how was your journey with dentures? Is it very comfortable or tiring? Do you practice your daily life normally? Do you eat normally and do everything you like?
How have dentures affected your dating life? There are people who would not date people with dentures.
I’m luckily already married so it wasn’t an issue. But I imagine trying to date and when to bring it up. And how they will react. Some are acceptable to them and others aren’t.
@@JustinBsDentureJourney Thanks for the info! What was the name of the pill you were given before having your teeth extracted? Was that the only medicine given, or did they inject any anesthetic? Ideally I would like to have the procedure done without any injectables. Pill and gas only.
Halcion is the name of the medicine you take the night before the procedure and 1 hour prior to appointment. I have had panic attacks at dentist before. Halcion worked, no anxiety even, 9 teeth extracted in 5 minutes.
Derp8575 .
What they don't know won't hurt them.
I’m new to dentures. I now realize biting into food is not the same as with natural teeth. The brunt force of biting into foods is felt at top of gums part of dentures at nose area. Don’t like that at all.
2 years almost and I hate them
Why?
@@derp8575had a hard reline on my dentures that I got when my upper teeth were extracted they fall out and I refuse to wear adhesive I used tons after my first year. I still can’t get used to them.
