As I just told another comment but yours I even relate to even more I understand I understand I understand it is so much bigger than anyone usually fully admits because there's this oh I'm strong I can take the pain or it shouldn't be affecting me psychologically this much but I have been in psychological agony as well as physical and so far deeply regret the choice because I mostly did it cuz I didn't want to continue to put massive amounts of money into the teeth in my insurance pays for a full set of dentures every 5 years so I just said okay let's do it but oh my God it literally has sent me back and I'm in the theater and the arts and the teaching profession and after the covid I was getting so close so close and happy to getting back to life as we all are and then this anyway if you need a comrade just someone to chat with ... I tend to be hugely over committed in terms of too many people in my life but I sure could use someone just in specifically to occasionally talk about this because otherwise I'm feeling very very alonr.. I have a huge wonderful group of friends and colleagues all over the country but the lonest comes from one not wanting to complain and why and call vanity call it what you will but I don't have my teeth and can't keep them in right now and so I simply don't want to be around people I actually couldn't be I hate to look at myself so much without these dentures and I have not yet once been able to put them in even slightly from the pain and the bone shards and on and on but anyway I'm not usually complainer and it sounds like you aren't either but when you use the words embarrassed and ashamed and tears oh my God I get it I get it I get it it really is an amputation is a complete life change and I guess I knew that but I didn't realize it with this be this overwhelming and frustrating so anyway I'm not quite sure if you can respond directly to me, but should you need or watch what could be a once a week check in with each other, vent, rage, share tips whatever I think only people who have going through this recent traumatic experience can really help no matter how many family members or friends or colleagues you have.. And what's especially challenging most of all for me is somehow not being able to without saying Express just how traumatic and horrific this is like a true amputation because then I get embarrassed because God we just came through covid what about the millions that died what about before ukrainians what about the people in tents living on the highways and on and on and on she gets to the point where you absolutely don't even want to tell people that you're not exactly in a good mood which is course is an understatement and I don't want to isolate from those I love again but so far that's what I've been doing . Anyway I'm sure like me you have a very very busy life and I'm completely backlogged with all sorts of people I should communicate with but I really think all of us going through this needs some outlet so if you want to communicate I'm not sure I can leave my number here but text is always good for me 802-279-2399 my name is Jude

Oops I hope this got to you it's not showing up but I just left you a long reply and suggested that maybe those of us going through this can at least vent or share tips and depression once a week perhaps anyway let me know if you did not get that other message and that I left you a phone number there to text you otherwise I understand everything you say and we can only hope and assume things will get better but we definitely need support from others going through it

I know the feeling, I just had the surgery,I cant keep the teeth in,they feel like there gaging me,and im scared my mouth want get use to them,Im so hating I did this!!

I am in this stage now,im so embarrassed to go back to work,I hate this feeling.

@@bigw6784 I feel the same way. It is like a nightmare. I can't talk right, I constantly gag, and they are loose. The glue I have to use is absolutely horrid getting it off my gums.

Thanks so much, George!

@@kalinjax ... It's interesting what we do, during the fabrication process, for new denture patients who are receiving immediate denture vs. fabricating the normal replacement dentures ... especially regarding the FUD. Happy to fill you in further if interested.

@@georgemohr George; As a pro, what is your opinion of the DIY home denture kits?

@@bradrock7731 ... May I ask, are you considering a Full Upper over a Full Lower appliance? If you have the knowledge to know what a favorable impression looks like, able to establish a vertical and centric relationship and set the teeth with the proper occlusion and balance, you might be able to make it work. I'm not trying to discourage you but it takes a lot of experience to make successful removable dentures. I know this because I've made thousands. To answer your question ... no, I haven't seen any of the "DO IT YOURSELF" kits. Should you decide to have a go at it, please let me know how everything turns out. If you would like to touch base by phone I'd be happy to help you on your journey. Best of luck, George

@Mistyc Mc ana ... It's amazing technology for sure, and it's going to eventually find it's place for the removable practice. For me, and for now, I'm only interested in offering the dental profession a digital replacement denture that starts with the patients existing dentures. Just a side note: I still encourage my Dentist to take advantage of the patients old dentures, when possible, as a starting point. Lots of information in a well worn denture. After mounting the old denture I usually need to open the bite slightly to regain lost vertical. Saves so much time, this way, over the 5 or 6 appointments needed with the conventional approach. We refer to this approach as the '3 Appointment Denture" Keep it simple ... "less can be more" if that makes since. Guess I'm getting to old to start over ... ha =)

How did you go with your teeth ? Hope all went well.❤

Good luck with the rest of your life,Ken👍🏻

I'm one month in with top dentures..it's getting easier, swelling almost gone, and can eat a few normal things😂 I wish you the best!

Any updates? Hope it went well for you.

I got 6 tooth pull and got my denture the same day.The only problem I had my right jaw on the right bottom was sore a week no problem now

Yesssss!!! ❤️

Having dentures... Don't it fall off sometimes? I know my mom and dad has some.. upper and lower. But they are 80+ years old... is there a new way that they don't fall off now? Are they attached somewhere in your mouth? Thanks

Same!! I got dentures at 30, 35 now. Never have regretted it. I’m not afraid to smile big, I can eat, drink just about anything (except I miss eating dill pickles by biting out the inside first lol). I do need to get my dentures remade , as I still have my original dentures (thanks, COVID!!). But I still have zero regret, never had any. I had a beautiful perfect smile at one time (before the enamel got completely destroyed from pregnancies), and I miss that… but that smile was long gone by the time I got dentures. Relearning to talk and eat was a process though, I’ll say that!!

@@crushit95763 on 6. Google it.

@crush it they should use fixodent or poligrip. I prefer fixodent! Lol it holds better and I'm 42. Most seniors don't like using it bc it's really snuggled onto the gum but to release them at night I just gargle with hot water. Hot as I can stand it for easy release. I work with seniors anyways so it's fun to let them know my process. Just remember for an elderly person put as little as possible onto the denture plates. Hopes this helps! 🙏

When my granddaughter realised I had dentures she would tell everyone Nanny take your teeth out ,when I was trying to hide the fact

Life is short. You're really lucky when you think about it. I may be you someday soon. Thank you all for being open. All my crowns n fillings are broken.

​@@wendymitchell4004 kids are great aren't they.

Always wait until your gum is completely healed.. if it hurts after go back to the dentist to have it rubdown

Omg it hurt me so bad to put them in ,and take them out.thank you for saying that

It takes a while to adjust. I have been waring the same dentures for thirty years now. Since the adjustments I have not seen another dentist in all that time. I take them out to brush them and leave them in the rest of the time. My last girlfriend did not know I had them until I eventually told her. Mistake. Easy enough to avoid. She still sees a dentist regularly putting in new posts and crowns and such to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars per year. I can eat most things though small seeds are an issue. What is it worth to look good, eat what you want, and never again be in a dental chair? I can still recall the shock of loosing my teeth. It will always be a shock.

How is it going now??

Thank you, Barbara. I'm getting nervous. Did you get FULL dentures?

@@deltajohnson1525 I did, I actually ordered mine Online and saved so much $$$ doing so. I've had mine about 5 years now and have never had to use adhesive.

@@Barbara-tc6feNo adhesive! That's great! Where did you find out about ordering them online!!?

Thank you for that reassurance 🥺

Thank you because she makes me feel bad

Surely helped me will have my friend come and listen

In my own experience it's better to keep some teeth you have then remove them all and replace with tender. When you have tender, you don't speak and eat normally, you feel stressful, I always use clue everyday, I shouldn't have removed off my remaining teeth off, that's my biggest mistake, should've asked dentist to make bridge than been removed, remember some dentists speak from something they haven't been experiencing but based on some research. once ur teeth out, that's it. Thanks for the video

I totally regret getting dentures. In fact I don’t wear them half the time. Now after a couple years if I do wear them they don’t fit right. I can’t eat with the bottom denture, so it comes out if food is in front of me. I know people that wear dentures and never have trouble with them. What is wrong with me?

@Sqrley L. You just described my experience too!😔✌️

@@janicetaul2579 nothings wrong with you, not everyone is the same some can eat with them however I'm like you, I feel like I can't taste the food the same with them in!😔✌️

A year. Nope! Try never getting rid of pain. Try having to always grind every bite your eat. Oh, scrambled eggs are OK. But I had not choice. My teeth were not getting any more cavities, but the bones under my teeth ached all the time, so I had not choice but to get dentures. I do have good memories of when my teeth were good. I never needed them straightened either. The esthetics of my teeth were perfect, it's just that my bones were so infected. I attribute much of that to dentists who had to save bad teeth at all costs. If I had not had root canals, I believe that a bridge or two here and there would have sufficed. I did have a really bad dentist when I was under 10 years old who put a needle into my mouth for novocaine who pushed that needle deep into my jaw bone. That dentist might be the one who caused me to have the root canal in my 20s. I'd give anything to be able to have a dentist who could give me implants that would work. I tried to be careful about the dentists I saw, but alas, they ruined my mouth. I can look like I have teeth, but I never get rid of the pain and there is no way under the sun that I can actually chew my food. Grind, grind, grind. I never can really go out to dinner. I go to be with family and friends and figure out something to look like I'm eating, but I do all my real eating ground up food at home. Sorry for the rant, it's just no fun of any kind.

How many "social media glamour people" got dentures? What are you even talking about?

@@tjmmcd1 What does she gain by lying to the world about it? I don’t have dentures, but if I did….i wouldn’t want to broadcast it lol

Whatever your writing may be missing, your beautiful heart and soul definitely make up for it. Many blessings to you and your family, your story is beautiful too. Good luck.

❤❤❤

I agree with Sharon!! And I have wondered about this journey for me due to medical issues that I couldn’t control. However, those people younger with dentures were those I had worked with that were addicts who became parents! And I remember one lady in particular and she used to hide her smile and when she told us she finally moved up the queue to get dentures we got to celebrate then we got to celebrate again when she felt confident smiling! It was amazing and wonderful! It was also such an honour to walk a bit of that journey with her and when I think, “oh dear I don’t know if can do this” (and in my case I don’t know what I’ll do), people like you and this lady…. And now seeing this lovely KZfaqr…. It’s encouraging! I hope all is going well for you! Know that no matter what happened, you’ve overcome and you’re moving forward and doing it for amazing reasons! Xo

❤

@Sharon thank you and I did it!! Iv had them for two weeks today

Man, I cannot wait to be you. My last tooth infection led to sepsis and I spent this last Christmas in the hospital. It’s just so expensive 😢

Please Google low income dental care. The town you live. There should be dental clinics or charity organizations. To pull your bad teeth. That's what I had do. I still have more to pull. As you just said you ended up in the hospital. Untreated infected teeth can kill you. Dentures are expensive but something can be figured out to replace your teeth. Your life is the most important thing.

you were able to eat with the new dentures two weeks after getting all your teeth extracted?

​@@katscratchfever3506Go to affordable dentures. They have a payment plan. You can get dentures from 300 hundred dollars to 2,000 thousand dollars. It's you choosing what dentures you want.

Than you are just fooling yourself

She originally had dentures but went on to get implants. But yes, great natural look.

@@elsonck2523 She has the all-on-4 dentures. They are something like 2 or 4 implants with the denture put on them. And I agree, her teeth look really good. Her dentist has a great sense of aesthetics for natural looking teeth. That's not easy to find; so many dentists make these perfect looking teeth that scream "DENTURES". lol

Thanks for clarifying. My son needs to have dentures. Total implants are $25,000 and not affordable.

I would really like to smile again and talk to people AND eat. No insurance unfortunately.

Did you do posts to hook the dentures onto? or do you just use adhesive to secure them with? Do we end up swallowing adhesive as the day goes on? How often do you have to change it out? tia. Any other advise? My younger sister said the same thing as you. Best decision she ever made. She was finally out of pain.

Ha! New Zealand is of a high necessity for me asap😊 It's a beautiful place like a fairy tale 🏞️🏔️🌅🏔️🌈

Why did you have to get them at such a young age- your 20's ?!

I did too. 25 years old. Medication caused my teeth to crumble. ​@michelle-zd2nc

I have read this and the pain is horror,I dont know what to do ,they were perfect two years ago and started to decay ,I would like to save some of my front teeth couse I think it is possible ,I am 40 too.I see no good dentist in my country but I am enough of painkillers ,fixing them all the time and they dont know what couse this sudden problem 😢

Hi Nickalas. I'm about to have all my teeth extracted too. I'm scared and I know I will experience the same feelings you are describing. I hope that you and I can talk about our experience to encourage one another.

@@dproulx222 hi 👋 😁two months have passed since you commented. How are you getting on? How are you feeling? I’m about to undertake the same process and so glad I found this channel

I have partial back dentures, but still have both front top, and bottom teeth. My issue is chewing, I just don’t seem to get a good chew, almost like they are not sharp enough to grind the food. So I just take them out and chew with my front teeth… Plus it’s hard for me to swallow at times and it takes forever to chew up the food just to swallow safely. I just wish the teeth they use in a denture was a bit sharper or thinner or something!

You should go back and have a new impression made now that the gums have receded therefore making a much better denture fitting all round.

Yep I had to have my uppers extracted and I went through a depression that was akin to being an amputee. I was depressed & felt un-whole. It took awhile for me to talk right and not being able to eat regularly took its toll psychologically. The only thing that really has been long lasting is how much it’s changed the appearance of my face bc of bone loss but I’m good with it now.

Without implants, I would be worried the bone and jaw would shrink. Are there things you are learning about how to minimize that?

@@GlassOnion602 I'm really not sure about the shrinkage. After talking to several people i know with dentures they've not expressed a problem with this, only gum shrinkage but i knew that already. Of course, this will be different for some, it all depends on that persons situation. Implants won't be for everyone as previous problems can lead to a weak jaw bone and from what i understand implants come with a higher level of maintenance, never mind the cost! Either way, it is what it is, I'll see what happens but I'm not worrying about it.

@@maryannsinopoli8957 I've got three and after several years nothing happened like that.

@@maryannsinopoli8957 I have a few dental implants and I will not get another one. I have had a metalic taste in my mouth since they put them in. And sores in my mouth and other problems that were not there before. They are tintanium but I also read that there is no such thing as "pure" titanium and I am allergic to metals. So I might get them out and my other teeth and get dentures.

I'm 47 and just got 4 on 4 implants. With the iv sedation it was like I remember panicking for 3 seconds and then a guy tapping me on the shoulder 3 seconds later telling me I was done. 3 hrs passed and I felt or remember nothing.

I just got my top teeth pulled today and an immediate I’m devastated but also know my teeth look so much better than they did. My talking is weird and they don’t fit great but was told to use fixodent then I get my permanent ones in 3 months once healed. It’s such a hard thing to go through worse than imagined

I am 10 days post extractions and immediate denture for my upper teeth. Talking is indeed weird. These videos help. I wish I had the money to have the lower done at the same time because the thought of going through this again is not pleasant. I am just disgusted about the costs and lack of adequate dental insurance. @@angelajohnston7332

​@@angelajohnston7332you're doing good! I had my tops done 2 years ago and get my bottoms down next week. The top is pretty easy to get used to after a couple weeks. It'll feel like you can't talk or have no idea how to eat. I promise things will slowly get better until you don't even think about it. The process is mentally traumatic but I swear to you it gets so much better. I'll probably feel right there with you again when I get my bottoms and get used to all false teeth.

Yes so true ❤

So happy for you!! You’re already way ahead of where I was. I was loaded with morphine and pretty much slept all of day one and day two haha! Keep pushing, keep practicing!

Before you know it, it’s just second nature. Best of luck and congrats on taking the first step! That’s the hardest!

Good for you! That's such an amazing feeling.

Why did you have to wait 4 weeks for immediates? I got my immediates put in right after the extractions one week after impressions.

@@bogiboglin2702 My dentist recommended that I not get immediate on extraction day due to my specific case. He said it would be better to wait 2 weeks. It ended up that I did a wax turn-in at 3 weeks, and I had the immediate placed the next week.

Hey I had my immediate upper Denture done on Tuesday April 12th! How are you feeling today? I hope good! 🙏 I'm doing way better than I had thought I would! Stay strong

I'm considered a zebra. My body does has so many sensitivities since using a certain treatment for over a 13 month period. I would never put a foreign object in my bone due to my condition. @@RS-qu5lh

Same here. It's taken 4 1/2 months to even get my immediate ones to work even halfway decent, plus having to have surgery to file down a protruding section of my top jawbone that was preventing the dentures from going all the way back like they should. I was wondering after all this time, when I was *ever* going to get my permanent set, and just found out my immediate ones are my permanent set, as that's all my insurance will pay for. The final adjustments are bing made on them, and hopefully when I get them on Feb. 8, they'll finally fit like they're supposed to. I'm trying to remain positive.

Im 43 in the process now...we are still beautiful no matter what..but girl I IS HARD ACCEPTING IT..JESUS HELP US❤🙏

You did the right thing by letting your gums heal.my mum had her denture put in straight away and her gums went septic.

What was the reason that you had to pull all of your upper teeth? Do we have to do something to prevent to get to this point ?

@@jennyd5728 having children can weaken your teeth. They can cause a lack of calcium in the teeth during pregnancy.

@@jennyd5728 I’m about to have my top teeth and most of my bottom pulled at age 40 bc as my dentist put it, “my dentine is failing.” My teeth are literally more filling than tooth, the fillings keep cracking and falling out, and I have receding gums. For me, medication I absolutely must take chronically dries out my mouth which leads to tooth decay and I also have acid reflux, damaging my enamel and my dental work. I’m terrified of getting dentures. But I’m going to lose my teeth one way or the other and I’m tired of the pain.

@@jrsterdis same I’m in my 40s and I’m having bone loose on my teeth had a couple of infection on the top teeth. Had them all pulled out on top and a couple at the bottom.

Why did the tooth need to be pulled instead of replacing the crown?

You can only have tooth repaired for failed root canal. About two times after that it has to be pulled. My mom is 76 she has had several teeth pulled. Because of the same reason as this lady has. With my mom she had them replaced with implants.

Amazing how bad a tooth can hurt

I've given birth with nothing for pain. I would give birth 8 more x to avoid a toothache. I get migraines but I agree. There is nothing like the horrible pain I get from toothaches😢

The amount of people dying from heart attacks, post dental clearance is scary, plaques straight down the carotid ( I’d say mostly older people) The above point is spot on!

That's why I am doing it. Because if I don't eventually it will kill me.

i went 1.5 to 2 weeks after getting my teeth removed til i would wear mine. them dentist and professionals(that usually still have real teeth or implants) are crazy to tell patients to wear them to help the healing process. im 4-5 years in now and i forget i have dentures, they are just my teeth only difference is i can actually bite through cheesesticks instead of pulling out all the cheese on the first bite and chew anything, and i have the ease of taking them out to clean them. still cant bring myself to go back in and get snaps put in.

If you have teeth in your mouth, you have hope! Look to minerals,. herbs. supplements.....to heal your teeth!

I hear you. Root canals, a couple extractions, dry socket with one of them... I empathize. I know the pain of having them worked on and numbing not being enough. Hang in there.

If I dentist wanted to pull your teeth without treating the infection first, they’re a bad dentist in my opinion, I understand the abject misery of tooth pain, so you definitely have all my sympathy.

You got this Tony. It's a bit rough in the beginning, but you'll either love or hate your dentures but just know, you can't change the fact that you got your teeth pulled, but you can change your dentures to how you want them so that you're able to eat, smile, laugh again. You'll find yourself saying, "this isn't as bad as I thought it would be" once you're all healed and able to do the things that you didn't think you would be able to do. Patience is the key. I've had my uppers for over 20 years. I just did bottoms on April 5th and I truly thought I'd hate it... but man... I love them. I can eat anything and everything with no problems and I have a technique that keeps them in all day with even eating throughout the day. And these aren't even my perms... but I'm prepared for my perms now that I know what I'm doing. :)

Yeah it was painful for a few days, but with proper mouth care and following the instructions after the procedure it healed beautifully and so it was a great experience. So glad I got them and grateful for the experienced dentist that did this for me. Wishing you well 🌷
