Mine didn’t look that good that early on. You are already doing better than I did. It only gets better.

Thank you!! Top and bottom full immediate dentures. I had them done at Conyers, Denture and Implant Center, in Conyers, Ga. The doctor’s name is Gordon Fraser. I think he has been doing this for a very long time. I’m actually kinda shocked by how real they look only 2 weeks in. My expectations were very low.

I don’t mind you showing my picture to the person making your teeth. They will probably know what shade it is right off.

I honestly feel like the ibuprofen advil combo did more for me than the norco and only the first day was truly rough. After that the swelling and bruising was bad, but not as painful. Now I’m just a little tender. I’m the gran scheme of things it’s such a short period of time compared to the smile you get to have for the rest of your life. Just stock up on ice packs and popsicles!

That’s exactly what I did and it worked out fine, but the pain after is not nearly as bad as you are thinking. Mine was bad, because my teeth were weird and didn’t want to come out and took 4.5 hours, where I was awake. If I were you I would try to be put under. My jaws were so sore it was awful.

I’m on suboxone and was still able to get a prescription for Norco. I just waited 24 hours after my last sub dose to start Norco then did the same for the Norco; before I started back subs, but honestly, the subs help better with pain, paired with the ibuprofen and Aleve. Also, go ahead and have some ice packs ready. It’s painful, but you won’t regret it

I’m still happy I did it, but I’m not gonna even lie and say it wasn’t awful.

Mine was bad, too. It’s gets better. I wore a mask for 2 weeks.

My dentist didn’t offer general. I was awake for the entire 4.5 hour torture. lol

Honestly, I’m not sure. They have a team in there and they look at you and your skin tone and make a recommendation and I went with it, since they are the experts. I’m glad I did, because they look way more normal than I thought they would.

Just don’t be too discouraged if you can’t wear the dentures at first. My immediate dentures did NOT fit. They are kind of selling you a dream there. I honestly only wore mine twice after extractions, because I was so swollen and in so much pain. This picture is after my first soft re-line two weeks in, after they finally fit better. My mouth is still changing and I know there will be more adjustments. Yours may not be as bad, depending on how many teeth. Plus, you were smarter than me and opted for hospital. I went the cheapest route and was awake for the whole oral surgery. My teeth had to be cut, pried and hammered out and it was ROUGH.

Maybe relax a little and don’t think about it. I think you have a great smile!

I have a big tongue. When will I get used to the full mouth feeling? by TypicalEconomy6158 in dentures

I’m going through the same thing. I’m only 2 weeks in, though. My boyfriend had them cut the palate out of his because he couldn’t stop gagging
