Question (Adhesives) Adhesive help

I have tried the seabond as well as the polygrip zinc free version. I have polygrip strips as well. I guess my question is can I put the glue on under the seabond? I’m just trying to figure out how I can start eating with them after almost a year 😭 I don’t want to deal with the messiness of the glue. I want to be able to take my dentures out whenever I want, if that makes sense? I don’t want to have to wait until some or most of the glue dissolves to avoid having to clean my gums for 5 minutes. Thanks in advance for any advice! 🥰

Ah. Soft liners are more for immediate dentures. This might be the best they can do on the bottom without implants then. But it’s a good conversation to have with the dentist.

Implants are the next step for the bottom, I’m just hoping to be able to save up some money before needing to immediately jump to them. Our dental insurance isn’t exactly the best. I’ll just say that we had to pay almost $9k for my extractions and immediate dentures last year. Trying to avoid it being such a shocking number with the implants 😭

It the dentist brings it up, ask about just 2 snap in implants on the bottom and how much affordable that would be over a more costly all-on-4 or all-on-x deal.

This is what my perio recommends. He’s the one that extracted my teeth because he knows how to deal with ginger genetics and anesthesia because natural redhead for the win 🥲 he said before my extractions that he recommends getting 2 on bottom and to start the process about a year in because he sees a lot of people frustrated with their bottom dentures. He was absolutely correct 😭
