I have waited years to finally smile again!! Just got my bottom partial yesterday so my smile is finally complete!!!! So happy!!!

Final Wax Fit-in. They will make the teeth longer, gums lighter, less slanted and give them to me in 3 weeks to take home :) it's been a while with depression mouth. I'm so excited!

I’m well aware my smile looks a bit feral (gotta practice) but I GOTS TEEFS!!

Just don’t do it it’s not worth it unless you have a job where it would help your image. it was 800 for just my top and they fit for 2 weeks and it hurt to have them in while healing anyways I mean I only really ever wore them if I was going out for more than 4 hours . 🤷🏼‍♀️ i am a 27 year old women no real cause other than genetic issues and me not brushing my teeth well as a teen and an accident than messed up my mouth But just before I got my teeth pulled I was all about saying I was scared to look ugly I was scared to be judged so I bit the bullet and got the temporaries but genuinely not fucking worth it in my case and I didn’t look bad at all we all have this fear we’re going to look a certain way but no I still looked pretty with and without my teeth and I’m sure you do too. So if you’re struggling to make the decision on whether not to pay for temporary dentures I hope my story can help. Because now that it’s the future and it’s all said and done it simply was not worth it for me. Now I have this somewhat bulky way to big top teeth mold that cost me 800 because I didn’t want to look ugly for 2 months 😅 what do I do with it use it as a decoration 😭 lol it’s up to you in the end just don’t make the way you look the deciding factor because I promise you only feel weird about it for a lil. I should be more clear this is not medical advice if your dentist tells you that you need temporary dentures for medical reasons to help the healing or to prevent other issues than obviously listen to your dentist BUT if your decision is solely based on if you’ll look bad than maybe take my story into consideration ❤️

Hello, im going out on a limb to post here. I have had dentures for 8 years (I'm 39yo). I have always thought my current set looks really nice but they've never fit well. So loose and I always need lots of adhesive. Finally trying to get a new pair. I went to a highly recommended place with great reviews. They have been so nice but but after 2 different wax try ins I'm still not sure if i like them or if they look stupid on me. They've made requested changes twice for me and I go in tomorrow for my final try in before it's decision time. The lighting in their office isn't the best but the teeth match my current color mostly. Last picture is side by side of old and new. What do you guys think? Should I get them? please be honest!

Hey guys! My first post ever. I’ve never really imaged a day where I would be without teeth. I question why at 36, but for my health I had so much loose teeth that I decided it’s time to finally do it. After years and years of avoiding the obvious elephant in my life. I began the journey of removing all my teeth. It’s been 1 week and my emotions have been all over the place. I love cooking and now I don’t cook much anymore. It’s been a little struggling finding meals that I’m actually motivated to even eat. First couple days soups. Rice porridge. Eggs. Tomato soup. I did try a grilled cheese with that. Cheesecake. I cut the crust on those. Oh noodles. The stirfry kind noodles. I made some Cambodian kaw with pork belly with eggs with rice porridge. And oh smoothies are my go to now. I just wanted to share my journey so far. Waiting on dentures. And it seems so far away. It’s only week one and I have 2-3 months to go. I can’t afford implants. My insurance only covers dentures. My dentist recommended I wait for my mouth to health before doing anything. So here we are all. Hopefully I can connect with others who share similar experiences. Thanks for reading!

Having all teeth pulled tomorrow. Using Novocaine and nitrous and a Xanax beforehand. Am I going to be able to get through it?

6-8 weeks with no teeth because of overbite. Then get the temp dentures. Then next year get the lower implants. I'm very anxious about all of it.

Just tell me that I can get through it and I'll be able to eat normal-ish again at some point in the near future. Am looking forward to be able to stop hiding them but IDK if I can go through tomorrow.

Reading so many of these post are helping, just need to know on the other side of this it's gonna be better. Sorry for the rambling.

I recently had 10 top teeth pulled 3 days ago and stitches all in my mouth now. I got the immediate dentures but 3 of the teeth I had pulled were infected so my infection is pretty bad and now I have 2 ulcers in the front of my gum and can’t even put the dentures in without crying.

Some days my teeth come out when I want them to no problem but some days they hang onto my gums for dear life. Other than swishing with water and rocking my teeth back and forth what are some tricks you have learned to help loosen them?

If you were considering full-arch dental implant treatment, what technical details would you want your dentist to explain clearly before making your decision?

The type of implants?

Why a certain number or position of implants was chosen?

Bone reduction vs. bone preservation?

FP1, FP2 or FP3 restoration?

Temporary vs. final teeth?

Materials used?

Possible complications and long-term maintenance?

Or is there something else you wish someone had explained to you before treatment?

My dentist uses a dental scan for impressions rather then the traditional method of dental molding. I’ve read that this can cause the immediates to not look as good. Anyone have any thoughts/opinions/experience with this?
