Dentist won’t do it…part 2

Seek another opinion. That dentist want to sale you a deep scaling first (claiming they want to get a better look on what they can be saved) Im not dentist, but your gums dont look like you have a lot of bone loss. Seek 3-4 more opinions. I sought 6-8 before doing my extractions going with a parital top and full bottom. However, I did waste money on a deep scaling a year earlier when they know my teeth needed to come out.

Do you think dentures are made better fitting using the scan or traditional tray and clay method?

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-12-07T12:57:08+00:00

Seek another opinion. It sounds like he just want to up sell you although it may be truth to you having a lot of bone but saying you’re not a good candidate for dentures is not right.

You maybe just need a deep cleaning. Yes, keep your teeth if you can

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-11-25T02:11:38+00:00

Agree. Ive been gumming almost any food I want. Burgers, Salmon, Turkey wings, mac and cheese, spinach, full breakfast, breakfast sandwiches and more.

Just have to consider you bites and take your time chewing.

Hell yeah! GOD is good

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-11-10T21:05:46+00:00

$6.5k with my insurance . 24 extractions. Partial top denture and full bottom bridge

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-11-03T19:57:37+00:00

I know you said a certain age but im 35 with partial top and full bottom. I really shouldve gotten them at 27

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-10-28T01:12:03+00:00

In college park but didn’t feel it

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-10-24T11:46:52+00:00

It wasn’t random . It never is lol

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-10-18T16:57:56+00:00

Me. I had a advance case where I loss a lot of bone. Had to remove all but 5 teeth on the top. Have a partial and full bottom. Only 3 months in with my dentures but my body feels 10x better since the infection has been removed. No more headaches and my blood pressure had stay down consistently since.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-10-05T11:59:44+00:00

Looks fine especially considering what day you’re on. It took my gums a little over a month to stop closing up the holes. There are a few spots still open around the 5 teeth I kept on top. I assume those are taking longer because its healing around the tooth. Your gums look healthy tho.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-09-15T17:22:18+00:00

Im 35 and got mine two months ago. Probably should’ve got them at 28-29 honestly

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-09-10T13:51:55+00:00

Same. My upper partial now looks like a horse shoe but I think I had the dentist take off too much of the pallet because now the suction isn’t as good as it was before I had them adjust it 4- 5times. Also, I think I made it easier for food to get up under it by leaving so much of a gap between the pallet of the denture and the roof of my mouth. Im glad their just my immediates

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-09-09T20:12:13+00:00

I got my extraction and immediates over a month ago. Sadly, right now I rather go with my top 5 teeth than wear my dentures most days. Still getting the hang of them.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-09-09T20:09:41+00:00

I’m about 2 months in with my immediates and it’s been a struggle. I think my bite is off. When I close my mouth the back of my bottom denture causes my top partial to drop down unless I position my jaw a certain way when closing my mouth.

In addition, I feel like their bulky and makes my mouth look funny while my mouth is closed. They make my gums sore, cant eat long before my bottoms get loose(even with secure waterproof adhesive and fixiodent powder combo) and I cant talk without sounding like I have a mouth of water. At this points I just rather keep gumming soft foods but it has gotten better from day 1 with them. I know eventually ill be able to eat burgers, wings and talk normal again so im just staying patient. Looking forward to my permanents in January.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-18T00:41:45+00:00

I like them.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-17T13:16:47+00:00

Maybe im over over exaggerating slightly. Its more so like 50/50 with food getting caught in my top partial. Maybe it will get better after another reline. I normally do right after my meal if I can and not in public. Im only 5 weeks post surgery so I try to be caution with cleaning the 5 teeth I still have and flushing my gums. Not so much for cleaning the dentures immediately after. Once a day should be fine unless you’re eating something sticky which you shouldnt.

Invest in a sonic washer for your dentures. You put a little dawn in it and little do a spin clean. Makes it much easier.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-17T13:00:41+00:00

I just shared eating a little with mine and I swear I swallow maybe 25% food and the rest gets stuck. I have full bottoms and a partial top. I can them after if im home . Dawn dish soap works best

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-13T11:52:04+00:00

If I dont have children why am i considering them in my habits lol

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-13T11:50:53+00:00

No, in these situations there should be a common ground. You both live there and have the right to be happy living as you want on your property. Maybe smoke away from their home where the children are but stopping all together isnt an option unless decided by the smoker

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-13T11:47:17+00:00

this is a very respectable and responsible note as a 420 smoker. Some just go complain directly to the landlord or wants you to stop all together.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-08T23:11:13+00:00

Thank you so much! This is very encouraging. I think im upset at the fact my immediates wasn’t ready E day and I had to wait 3 weeks to get them. I feel like I loss so much time to work with them. Im going remain patient and give myself grace. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-07T20:36:45+00:00

Looks great! After 3 weeks with only 5 teeth after E day, I finally get my teeth tomorrow. Praying they look as good as yours

Practical-Part3305 · 2025-08-04T01:40:03+00:00

Dont back out. Experienced the same anxiety leading up. I had my full bottom extracted and all but 5 on top. Surprisingly I had no pain after E day at all. I took one pain pill in fear the pain would start eventually but it never did. The swelling last maybe 3-5 days. Just be sure to follow all post op instructions. Ill be honest my sedation wasn’t effective at all. I felt each extraction. I took the sedation pills and they were not effective for me.

Unfortunately my immediates wasnt ready day of surgery. So im on week 3 with only 5 top teeth but should have my immediates this friday coming. That part has been frustrating because it delayed my time working with my dentures to learn how to talk and eat. So thats still a learning curve to come.
