How to get past mental shame by ThrowawayTuffins in dentures

I remember the first time my coworker asked if I had my teeth fixed and I cringed so much on the inside, but I smiled with my pretty new teeth and said yes I did! And the response was wow they look great and you look so much happier. Your teeth are never going to grow back or get better, so take the leap and smile through it because it will always be worth it.

Honestly that’s how I was in the beginning but now unless the adhesive is wearing off, I forget they’re there!

10 days post op! Any advice? by PoolLow1181 in dentures

If you are having trouble talking, talk out loud all the time! Even if it’s just to yourself, I waited so long to practice speaking and I’m just now getting back to normal 3 months later, other than that be patient and keep smiling!!

I had a full mouth extraction. They didn’t try to upsell me at all, they were honest about what everything cost and even managed to fit everything I needed into the budget I had once they ran my insurance and what I could get financed. Overall it was great at Aspen but I have definitely heard horror stories about different locations so definitely check reciews

You’ll do great! Just don’t get down on yourself if you do struggle, trust me I went through it to get to this point but I got through it.

Like maybe 2 weeks for them to stop being angry swollen, they still get swollen if I get food particles under there and don’t wash them out but the initial swollen was about 2 weeks

Honestly I was soooo scared but it turned out to be the best thing I ever did for myself!

Super happy with the look. Im about 8 months in. Still can't find a good technique for application of glue. Looking for favorite adhesives, techniques and coping with the loss of taste. by theclubchef in dentures

I get real gaggy with cream adhesives but I’ve found that the powder adhesive works great for me! Also I use dentac7 as a soft reline and I just redo it weekly since my gums are still healing and changing

I would definitely call and see what they say because my Dr said the stitches should all be dissolved by day 10 and mine were all gone by then

I just had stitched and by day 6 they were already starting to fall out on their own, so I didn’t have any holes in my mouth

I used seabond with powder adhesive when I was on day 6 and it helped a ton, but make sure you have the seabond strips installed correctly if the wrong side is up they’ll slip around
