The unfortunate part is that not everyone can afford to stay at home, you were very fortunate. most have to go right back to work 😢 in pain to continue to make ends meet. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, I’m getting my dentures soon ❤

T-minus 9 days until I get my immediate. I can't wait to smile again without covering my mouth, I can't wait to not feel so self conscious & feel so much pain from eating, chipping away or infections. I'm so ready for this journey, I think it's going to be amazing! I'm a little nervous but I know deep down it's gunna be ok.

your videos are such comfort too me. I go for all my remaining (6) lower teeth extractions and implant placements on Oct 19. I had 4 extracted in January of this year and bone grafts on both sides. I am terrified. Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your experiences. I feel so much comfort from watching your videos. I am 58. I had 4 tumors extracted from my ovaries at the James Cancer Center in Columbus. I nearly died. then 10 years later I had gall bladder surgery and hemorrhaged in the operating room and nearly died. I lost 60% of my blood supply. The surgeon had to abandon the surgery and left 4 surgical clips inside me. I was inches away from death. I know suffering. I have a huge pain tolerance. But a Dentist terrifies me like you have no idea. I would happily go in for surgery of any kind to keep away from a dentist. please everyone, and anyone that's a Christian whom reads this, pray for me.

As a medical doctor, and speaking personally - the majority of the swelling that people experience is due to having the dental clearance done under local anaesthesia - it is natural to pull away from the pressure of the physical extraction. I had my dental clearance done under general anaesthesia and had almost no facial swelling - I did have swelling of the gums.

I had my last 8 top pulled Dec 28, 21 and immediate dentures. I took the rest of that week and the weekend. Went back on Monday but pretty much sat at my desk. I feel pretty good and have check up this week. If you have a physical type job, I would say 2 weeks, desk type job a week. I told them at work what was going on, they gave me a Visa Card with many $$$$$ to help with the cost😊😊 I love them ❤

My experience was.... I swelled up and bruised pretty bad. Under my eyes especially. I had all my teeth extracted and put immediate dentures on a Wednesday and I went back to work the following week on a Thursday. A total of 6 days off from work. For the first 24 hours I was applying ice packs 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. I think that is what helped with the healing pretty quickly. Plus rinsing with salt water. I just requested time off from work for a dental procedure. No questions asked. I say within 3 and a half weeks I was able to chew solid food pretty comfortably. Everyone heals differently and experiences are different, but no regrets whatsoever. It's a process, but so worth it. Everyone deserves to smile, be able to eat anything and especially have no teeth pain which is the worst. Best wishes and fast healing to those that are starting their denture journey. 😊

Having my teeth extracted this morning scared to death, crying a lot, I handle pain pretty well so I'll keep you posted, Appreciate your video

I am going in next Tuesday for upper teeth extractions and an immediate denture placed. I am BEYOND nervous, but your videos have helped me so much. I am taking 2 weeks off from work. I did tell my boss and she said to do what’s best for me. At my job we have to take a personal leave with no pay and I am ok with that. I’ve had some colleagues (that I shared this procedure with)support me in taking 2 weeks off, others think it’s ridiculous and that I should return within 2 days post op. My mental state isn’t the best with having to get dentures in my 40s but the pain I’ve been going thru with my natural teeth is beyond what I can handle. I’m doing what’s best for me and taking the time to recover and adjust. I also feel the denture has to fit me without feeling like it will fall out my mouth bc one of my colleagues said to me “when you come back and if your denture falls I’m going to laugh and make fun of you”. Yes, even in adulthood we have bullies. Thank you again for your videos. I have my families support, my children’s support and TRUE friends/colleagues support. I pray it’s the best outcome for me and my life is made better by this decision.

Thanks for addressing this! I was really nervous about getting dentures, and a bit ashamed as I am 37. I was pleased to find numerous videos by younger people sharing their experiences. My dentist recommended taking a week off work.....I had 12 days off, and wouldn't have wanted one less day off. Not due to pain or anything physical....it's just a huge adjustment.

Can't believe how similar our journey's have been! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experience with everyone, many like me, who felt so alone. Thank you!!!

I am 58 and from the UK and 3 weeks ago having suffered poor teeth for years had all top teeth extracted and same day all on 4 teeth and 2 molar implants with sedation, I had no idea how traumatic this was going to be as I was given very little information from the dentist to warn me how I would feel afterwards & the recovery process. the all on 4 denture felt like a brick in my mouth for ages . So I used KZfaq for support & information and found your videos stood out as the most helpful, they gave me more support than the dentists and are helping me through this process, your videos are done with such dignity and self respect showing light at the end of the tunnel .Thank You

Im looking at getting immediate dentures soon. Your videos have made me calm down and feel so much better about going through with it. Thank u

You are such a blessing. I've been following you for years. I still haven't gotten dentures, but they or implants are in my future.

Oh my word, I was swollen so much and was in agony. I'm so glad you recovered so quickly!!! My swelling took about a month to fully subside

I can't wait until I get mine done. I am aware of the pain, I know I'll be anxious, but THIS is my comeback moment in life! I go in for my final appointment before extractions this week. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It is so very helpful to hear how others have gone through this procedure.

Thank you! I am new to the temp denture experience and your channel and transparency is life changing for me. I've shared your channel with my brother who about to have all his teeth removed like it have. BTW I'm 66 yrs young and I never knew their was a world of denture wearer's here on YT. I am now hooked on your YT channel!❤

I’m so happy that I found you! You are the most gorgeous person..inside and out! Your smile is just beautiful and gives me hope and courage for my upcoming surgery and dentures! I don’t feel so alone and ashamed about my situation, now. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for providing such helpful information!!!

You videos are so helpful! I was scheduled for surgery last Thursday. I need some extra bone so instead of going straight to the implants (which was the plan) I have to do an extra $8,000 surgery for bone packing 🙄. So I will have the temporaries for about 4 months while I heal. They couldn’t find a vein to put me under so they had to send me home and now I have to go the Hospital to have it done on Monday. So frustrating…I’m super nervous but excited! You videos are the only things that bring me comfort so I just wanted to say thank you. 🤞🏼 for Monday (my new surgery date) I will/ can work from home luckily but this was really helpful because Thanksgiving is 10 days after surgery. Not so worried about eating but socializing is bringing anxiety 😟. Thanks you again! 💛💛💛💛

I've been watching your videos for years and honestly your regular dentures looked great on you just like your permanent ones do.

Yours is an excellent site and you speak from experience. I fell asleep during extractions without any help. I keep coming back and re-listening as you covered so much. I am having work done by a dental school.

I’m getting ready to have this done due to bone loss. I have watched many of your videos and they are very comforting to me knowing that things can and will get better. To me it was just making the first step to get the ball rolling. I’m nervous but I’m also anxious about getting back to normal at some point. Thank you so much for all your time in making these videos to make us feel better in some way.

I'm three days post surgical extractions and immediate dentures. The first two days have been rough with pain & swelling. The ice packs & rinsing with warm salt water really helps sooth the pain with some ice chips just to cool my mouth down. The third day I'm in pain but not as bad. My bottom dentures are hurting the most because that's where the teeth were the worse from a gum disease & asthma medication that sped up the decay. I'm taking a week off from work. I told my Supervisor because we have a great relationship. Take it easy & get plenty of rest. I had valium the day of surgery but wish I had anesthesia.

First of all, I just want to thank you for posting videos of your experience. I believe we are all self conscious when it comes to this. So having this kind of support group really helps. Now, I am 46 years old and just completed my lower extractions and the doctor put the lower dentures in immediately. And you are 100% correct, it feels like this is never going to work. Today is Wednesday, I had the procedure Monday. Eating is terrible. Talking isn’t much better. But, not as bad as I thought. On the other hand, I’m still nervous about removing the denture for the first time. I had my posterior teeth pulled at 2 different times and Monday they pulled the anterior teeth. I was able to see the extraction site on my back teeth not my front. So yes, I’m nervous! I do not want to pull out a blood clot and cause the dreaded dry socket ordeal. With that, my question to you or anyone else is this- am I overreacting or should I just man up and do it? Another question, how long after extractions before you took out dentures for first time? Again, thank you for posting your experience. And May God bless you!

Thanks for your honesty-I’m going thru this next month. Your new teeth Are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for another very informative video, you're a great communicator wonderful vocabulary some people just naturally are smarter than others haha

God bless you for posting this. I’m getting all my teeth extracted so this is very helpful

Your videos have been lifesaving!

i get all mine out on 3/16/23 and am honestly a little scared but your teeth look great so it gives me hope

I had all my top teeth pulled out and two on the bottom and got temp dentures and went back to work the next day. No swallowing or pain just a lot of pressure and a little hard to eat but that’s about it. Thank you for your videos also

You are AMAZING! Thank you so much for these golden nuggets.

This channel is inspiring. I pray one day I can afford the dental work I so desperately need.

I just got all teeth removed, temporary top denture,am getting implants for bottoms eventually, after I heal . I took 15 weeks off work and went on UIC in Canada. Glad I did I am 59 and the whole procedure is a journey

I might be in the minority but I felt great after my extractions. I was in such pain prior so once the teeth were gone - I just had to rest after IV sedation.

Thank you. Been watching you for a few years now and went from dreading dentures to seeing them for the blessing they are. I'm 40 and have known I needed them since I was 30. Made my e day appointment last month for July 7th and am ready. Thank you for all the info and enlightenment over the years. You are beautiful and your teeth just keep getting better. I'm currently trying to learn how to properly articulate what I want them to look like.

I really appreciate your vid, sounds like after care is of primary importance and I will certainly do the scarf trick & 20 min ice on, 20 off that one of the commentors mentioned. Unfortunately I am having a palette torus & mandible torus removed as well as my remaining teeth so not sure how painful that will be during recovery. I'm 76 and retired so I can chill at home but I'm single and have no one to help me. I can easily have a panic attack just thinking about it but I have to move forward and be brave. Your teeth look great though and I'm keeping it in the front of my mind that 'this too shall pass' and I'll end up with much better health than I presently have.

Great video with important information!

Thank you. Its two days away and you put my mind at ease!!!!!

On my 5th day with upper immediate denture. I’m so glad I found this channel it has given me a lot of understanding and courage in this process. I’m going through the pain of sores on my gums from the dentures. My next dental adjustment app is a week away.😐

I had 10 teeth extracted and 8 implants set (4 upper, 4 lower arch) on the same day. No pain, only the gums were swollen, not my whole face. I got my temporary dentures after two weeks in which time I took sick leave. I had no problem telling people what I had done. Why not talk about it, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Thanks for the information, I'm very soon going to get dental surgery all teeth out dentures in. So this is very important to me.

I went for a ride on my motorcycle a couple hours after extractions. I recommend people take advantage of the situation and tell your boss your going on a Netflix binge for 3 days

Thanks! 2 days ago they removed 22 teeth & put in false teeth. I refused any pain meds because I USED to be addicted to oxycontin...I DON'T regret it ALL! The pain AIN'T as bad as when I did have teeth. I had infection in all 22 teeth so they had to cut out pieces of my jaw...that part REALLY hurt because when the bone is infected the freezing dont work on that area..thnx & much love FROM CANADA

I took 2 weeks off, the first week was tough. There was really no pain in week two the most annoying thing was dealing with the stitches. I told my boss about what I was having done and they were totally understanding.

I get my full dentures Oct 21 , it took a long time to say I’m gonna do that. I can’t wait to be able to smile again

Thank you for sharing your experience, I am going to need full dentures on my upper side very soon (within a year or so) and I'm so afraid that 7 teeth need to be removed, I have wore a 6 teeth front bridge for the last 10 years approximately but my bone loss reach a point where no bridge could be enough anymore . I have to admit I'm still afraid but after watching your video I feel a little bit more at ease and relaxed. In my case I will have to choose removable denture since can't afford 20+ thousand dollars fixed ones but I guess it will be better because now it's even very difficult to eat. Thank you again for sharing and God bless you!!!

Drink 64oz of straight pineapple juice the very night before you get your teeth taken out. It helps with the swelling MASSIVELY! I promise you it helps. When I did other dental work without the pineapple juice it swelled double the size I ever thought. But when I did my teeth it was swelling for only 13 hours and then gone.

I only have 5 teeth left. Going to get them pulled May 23 2024. My wax dentures fit perfectly. I am confident that my permanent dentures will fit extremely well. I chose the A1 color shade. I am so excited to finally be able to smile with a full set of beautiful teeth.

Very helpful, thank you for posting.

Thank you so much for answering my question! 💗 you’re awesome!!

Having mine done in two days. Thanks for the info. ❤

I’ve been watching your video and I am scared to do this. I don’t know what to do. I’m gonna process thinking what the hell I’m gonna do. I am 41 years old and it’s sad that I have to go through this, but I am not alone in this, where, as I can see so happy about your videos and he’s giving me the confidence of doing this now

thank you for video. yOU HELPED ME FEEL MORE CALM.

I'm going to have all mine extracted in April just wanted to hear the routine .

I’m a self employed plumber went to work on day 2, the temp they gave me was useless I almost never wore it- but I’m an old man- the lack of no upper teeth just made me look more authentic 🤪 I just got my fist temp that fits and I can now allow myself to believe that I might someday live a normal life- but like you say it will be sooooo much better then what I had, thanx for sharing your experience it’s made a big difference to me

Thank you so much! Will try to update.

I just got full extractions and 6 implants. So far I'm doing pretty well. I'm taking two weeks off just to make sure everything heals properly. I have a very strenuous job so that helped make the decision too. Thank you for all you do, you give me courage and strength. You are an amazing person.

Thanks for the tips. I’m about to get all of my 17 remaining teeth extracted, they look awful, so I might as well get them removed and replaced with some nice dentures. I hate to smile because my teeth look so bad. Your video has given me a lot of insight into what to expect. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am on day 8 of my recovery, and I have had a dry socket and an ulcer. I have 2 and half weeks off due to a low immune system. I am still experiencing pain and my immediate dentures are definitely just for show at this stage.

Great video! Thank you!!

I went back next day. Little to no swelling. My dental visit was actually wonderful.

I had all my remaining 11 teeth pulled and implants in to hold my bottom dentures in place. I am on day 3 and omg, the pain is unreal.. I was so swollen for 2 days, my gums bottom gums are still swollen a bit and can barely eat. I called my dentist and he told me to take 3 more days off. I am taking time to rest and relax and let the healing begin. I am hoping to be back to work Saturday. I have an follow up appointment on Monday and then a denture realine on Friday. I'm hoping to wear my dentures as the top ones are super loose. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

Thanks to all commentators . reassuring at this point.just feel a bit sad.natural reaction.but know it will be ok.

Week 3/Post-extractions: Gums still a bit swollen/tender. Unable to eat most foods. Soft solids, liquids (ice water), ice cream only. Not wearing temp-dentures due to pain. Add'l adjustment(s) pending. Seeking comfortably fitting dentures, or, a plan B. The biggest hardship is the amount of hard plastic blocking tastebuds at the entire roof of my mouth.

Took me a year bottom dentures 2 inplants bottom wow great job love my smile ☺

I had my teeth extracted exactly 1 week ago. I was given nitrous but no pain meds during or after the procedure not even ibuprofen. I stayed home from work the following day but went back the next. I was pretty swollen but never had any pain at all. Swelling went down in about 5 days. What really helped to eliminate the remainder of the uneven puffiness believe it or not, was doing "facial cupping" which pulled any toxins and fluid up and out to my lymphs to dispose of. I did it with much more upward and slow swipes and opposed to the standard quick sweeps you see on KZfaq. I hope this helps someone at least .

I'm on day 3 and I'm taking 2 weeks off. It's been a trauma, if you can you deserve to 'pamper' yourself a little. Don't be hard on yourself, this is important to your health, take the time.

Good information. Thanks.

I just got mine yesterday. Definitely a different experience the pain is actually not horrible today thank goodness. Talking sucks lol eating is weird, drinking oh lord I have laughed at myself many times when I took my very first drink so I could take Tylenol the water literally all came back out on me. I absolutely do not like how my teeth look but the dentist did mess up my impressions so my cousin had to fix these ones the best she could and then when my gums heal she will be making me a new denture.

I had full extractions yesterday. I had so called "chalk teeth", a born disease, so my teeth were 10 times thinner than usual teeth and hypersensitive. They just broke off over the years and I had no one healthy left. Caps have never been an option as my teeth were so thin and sensitive. I was sedated yesterday morning and was feeling fine after a few hours. After 4 hours I went with my dog in the woods for an hour walk. But then the pain crushed in really bad. My left side looks totally fine and I have no pain there, but my right side hurted like hell and swoll up just like crazy. I visited my dentist today and he said this is because the dentures didn´t fit on this side, the plastic would pinch right into the swellings and I had many stitches on this side as the teeth were very difficult to remove. The left side was much much easier and I have no pain nor swellings there. I can´t properly speak yet and did not figure out how to eat. But the pain is already much better after he worked on my dentures this morning. If I judge on my left side I think I would be ready to go to work on Monday, but if I look on my right side I fear I will never again look and feel normal. So I think it really depends on your teeth and how easy they are to remove.

Wow I wish I would have saw these before I got my immediate dentures, this is my second video only after your "I regretted getting my dentures" because that's how I'm feeling. I'm one week Tomorrow from having 16 teeth extracted mostly top and immediate dentures and that's how I'm feeling. The swelling has gone down and the bottom hurt so badly I cannot wear them the top fit well but now are hurting in certain spots my bite is off my speech is impaired and eating is not possible not with the bottom ones in they seem very large and slanted... I'm so thankful to know the reline will make a major difference because aesthetics was the most important to me before getting them and I'm now realizing that the look is tolerable but if they don't function then their useless.... thanks again. .

Yours are beautiful and look so natural!

I’m gonna have to go back to work the day after- my extractions for all of my upper teeth is on Tuesday. Nervous but looking forward to the results

I like it how you say your a baby and can't handle the pain, easy for a woman to say, but I'm the same but probably harder to say as a man. Thanks for detailing your journey. Helps to know what to expect, just hope my journey is pain free, swelling free and fast recovery. I heard salt salt water swilling is very good for keeping infections at bay and recovery, pain as it also removes inflammation. Ive got a head start ordered an amazon face belt thingy you slip small ice packs or chilled packs in to bring swelling down. I go in to see 3rd dentist, on Tuesday, then Tuesday after May either get full or partial extractions. I want full so that I never have to take time off work again for my teeth. Probably cheaper in long run as well. If I can afford it, I may see if they can remove those teeth that have double legs in the jaw first, recover 5 days, then go back and get all the single legs out which I think will pain less. I hope this is a good plan. Keep you posted. And thanks again from UK.

I took 2 weeks, however my job was tech support, talking on the phone 10 hrs a day. I couldn't do my job. I talked so poorly, and was whistling, nobody could understand me. They were rude to me, they hung up on me constantly, accused me of being a foreigner, handicapped, etc. I was frustrated, upset, and my Joba had zero sympathy. I ended up quiting. It took me at least 2 or 3 months to talk normally (I now have better diction than I ever did, but it's been years.) It was really, really rough.

Awesome video💯👍

I am 38 I have to remove 16 teethim going in two weeks I'm scared I cry everyday I had a spinal Leak and saliva gland dried out and all my teeth rotted out. I can't afford the implants right now I'm paying $6200 to have teeth removed and then $1000 for denture. You are incredibly lucky you won the new teeth. I with they have dentist that were compassionate. They make it so hard so get teeth but I can take infections anymore my kids are scared for my life. My eyes are now infected because of the teeth being so bad. You look so beautiful I hope One day I can get implant or even the snap in!!!!! U are giving me hope thabk you.

I got mine done at 10am on Dec 22. I was at academy Xmas shopping by noon. I had 13 uppers removed and 3 on bottom. Complete/immediate up top and partial on bottom. Writing this 15hrs after. Cosmetically it's amazing but eating is misery and pain sucks. Time will tell

Could you do a video on supplies you can buy to help get through this early healing time?

Thank you so much! I’m struggling right now at day 6. I have been crying all day and praying it gets better, this is giving me hope! I have a reline scheduled in 9 more days. I’ve had the week off and return to work in 1 day, I wish I had another week off but I guess I’ll be ready. Thank you again for this video!

For my procedure, I had an anesthesiologist on site to knock me out. Had the entire upper teeth removed. An immediate denture was installed and fortunately, I did not suffer from swelling. I wore the denture 3 full days, taking them out to clean after eating. Speaking of eating, prepare soft food ahead of the surgery! Breakfast, Cream of Wheat and the other meals were soupy or pulverized: beans with meat, chicken with rice. Each served on top of soft, sushi style rice. Being able to eat is the best way to deal with the meds. Anyhow, my pain came the most from the dentures. On day 4 I removed the dentures and left those suckers out. The brusing they caused was more painful than any post surgery pain so I figured, how can I tell which adjustments need to be made before my mouth is healed? Here I am today on day 6. Last night I tried the dentures on and they are still painful and difficult to seat properly. Considering taking my Dremel tool to the denture points causing me grief but will wait for my mouth to heal and try them on again but more aggressively. I also figure since they gave me Polident glue to hold them, then why do they need to be on so tight? Mine are temporary until I get permanent, removable type implante installed so I'm willing to take some modification chances with this removable denture to make them comfortable in the meantime.

I'm at the end of week two of full extractions. I went back to work after 10 days. Taking two weeks off would have been better. I couldn't even wear the bottoms because of the rubbing. Going back today to get them adjusted. I hope they fit better after this visit.

I took 2 weeks off. I’m 27, heart condition. Since birth. My manager was disrespectful as heck when explaining why I needed off. I had a heart attack months prior and she told me to knock off whatever games I’m playing. And my store manager was very understanding. He checked up on me not once, but twice. Swelling lasted for 11 days-same with pain. But I took nothing for pain. Except for regular ibuprofen. It was pretty bad if I’m honest. Agony. Zero sleep. Every 1-2 hours changing ice packs. Thanking god I live with my parents right now, because my dad and my mom both would check on me. The couch was my best friend for 8-10 days. Protein drinks and water water water. I tried really hard to eat mashed up scrambled eggs in the first 2 weeks. I couldn’t. But I found ways to eat. It was horrendous. I had 16 teeth pulled at once. And yes I was out under. But my goodness. Thanking god I took care of it when I did. 🙏🏻

I just had my top teeth taken out and it's what I will call life changing but I haven't had any swelling and not that much pain but definitely uncomfortable. You look beautiful if I may say. No offense meant.

Yikes! the pic you showed of your next day after extractions is brutal. It reminds me of someone the Mafia worked on who they really really didn’t like.

I requested 2wks off, but in my mind thinking, I wouldn't need that much time 😢 My boss has been super supportive even advising me to take as much time as I'll need (referring to maybe more time),,, the ONLY thing I feel good about all of this is your reassurance that I possibly did the right thing (in terms of time taken off) ❤

I went to work right after my appointment.....I recommend taking some time off, and I only have 1 molar extracted, and partial denture

One week is all I get at my work regardless if I’m good to go or not I have to

Just jumping into your story so I don’t know if you explained it but I was wondering… why did you do it? How many teeth you got extracted? What type of dental options did your dentist provide for you to get and why did you choose what you did? Costs ( I understand if you don’t want to share but it would be helpful) and how much did you have to pay and was any of it covered? Ever since I had my cancer treatment I have dry mouth and it has wrecked all my once beautiful teeth! I’m now in terrible pain facing the fact I have to get them all removed. I wanted implants but I’m on disability and there is no way I can afford it. Which is also why I haven’t been seeing a dentist like I used to. All because of the lack of funds bc just one dentist appt is a lot of money and now being disabled I can’t afford it. Combining dry mouth and lack of money = no dentist = all my teeth are now with cavities or shattered or rotten or whatever but they need to come out!!!! So I’m searching for women like yourself who have gotten dentures at a young age. Your smile looks GORGEOUS!!! You look like you were born with AMAZING teeth!!! YOU are VERY VERY beautiful so good for you! Btw- I wonder, is it hard when u are in the bathroom and hv to take them out is it hard to look at yourself with your dentures OUT? I’m terrified of how I will feel when that moment happens so I’m wondering what was it like for u? Thanks for reading! Great video! YOU LOOK SPECTACULAR!!!!! Maybe you can answer these questions in another video? Much appreciated! 😁

By age 47, my teeth had failed. I had my extractions 2 days before my daughter's graduation and had to host family and could barely talk and could eat nothing. It was miserable. My teeth looked nice but felt so huge and foreign in my mouth. I didn't have the swelling or bruising but did have a lot of discomfort and to this day (13-plus years) I've not really enjoyed a meal.

Hello Ma'am . I've been watching your videos for a while now and I find them informative. I'm in the process of getting dentures and I'm wondering . Would you know a time frame from impressions to the finished product ? I guess I'm waiting now for the wax things now.

Im going in today to do my bottoms. Got my top done about a year ago. I originally took off 3 days the first time. Im taking off 6 days this time around. On day 3 it was rough but the bleeding had stopped and we were still wearing masks. I took the extra time this time around juat so ill be more comfortable when i return. My hope is since im only dealing with the bottom and the top is already done, it wont be as bad. Plus that's all the PTO i have.

I was one of the lucky ones. Mouth full of teeth extracted on a Wednesday, and back to work Friday. no pain med at all. still learning to eat though, it has been less than a month, so I'm still learning.

Done on Friday back to work on Tuesday did fine

Just had my tops removed and it’s day four post “op” (extracted with freezing only, and no anxiety meds prior to) and I have yet to feel any sort of pain. I was extremely tired while the freezing was wearing off the day of and some of the next day too, but it is genuinely only tender if my tongue happens to touch one of the openings. I feel like my molars are basically already closed over. My theory is that my mouth was constantly trying to heal, so as soon as there was nothing in the way my gums just did the thing immediately lmao, and I was in so much pain already that the pain of healing isn’t comparable and I’m probably just not noticing it because I’m used to it at this point. I got my tops extracted on Saturday, and went grocery shopping on Sunday. I fully expected to be on bed rest for three days, lol. Everyone is different, so to anyone starting the process - be sure to listen to your own body. 🖤

It depends on how you and your mouth handle the extractions. For some it’s a completely brutal experience and the time needed to recover enough to work might be two weeks. For others, a few days is good enough.

I love your videos it's aspire me. I'm going tomorrow on 7/14/22 I'm going to my oral surgery appointment the dentist told me I have get all my teeth pull at the front and partial put in. I can't wait so I can feel myself again but hopefully it the extraction day will be after my birthday 7/21

You look beautiful! I am looking to getting dentures!

Very informative

I had all top and 2 on bottom pulled and took off 10 days.. did not get immediate dentures..luckily I’m a nurse and wore a mask for the 2 months before temporary dentures
