So I am 30 days out of extractions and immediate placed. Overall I am happy with the look of my smile, but still having function problems. Eating most foods is challenging. My dentures are very loose and I need to use adhesives. My dentist wont…

Jen replied to Joe's discussion 'Need help and advice....'

I'm also getting the mini implants done in 6 months to keep options open with my lower jaw. That was another point that helped in my decision for the lower extractions. I had them quote me a price of $521.00 per. It takes an hour to have it done. (…

Karen Thomas commented on D.Ward's blog post 'how long does it take for the liner taste to go away'

I am on my second soft reline and can still taste it. It reminds me of a cheap bubble gum. The taste never seems to go away but it is less noticeable after a while.

Heather Egan replied to Ally's discussion 'This is really grossing me out, can anyone help?'

I'm going to agree with goth here. You should have no problems using a little adhesive at this point. Just try to keep it away from your extraction sites if you can. I'd suggest leaving the denture out unless you need to go out. Quite apart from any…

Joe replied to Joe's discussion 'Need help and advice....'

Bob you have a very good point. But in your situation and that now you have a "few" teeth left to hold your bridge, where the other teeth have been removed the bone below them will now begin to be reabsorbed, and if you ever want implants you will p…

Karen Thomas replied to Joe's discussion 'Need help and advice....'

If you are in doubt....get a second opinion. I had 22 teeth extracted at once due to gum disease. I had put it off for as long as I could and now I wish I had done it sooner...life is much better when you can smile with perfect teeth. Bone loss can…

Joe replied to Joe's discussion 'Need help and advice....'

The dentist thats doing the dentures was the second opinion, but at least I did get to see the x-rays and I did see the bone loss for myself. For some teeth it was just more/less only half the tooth had bone support, but I keep thinking that they co…

gothwithdentures replied to Ally's discussion 'This is really grossing me out, can anyone help?'

You've had your denture long enough, as long as you don't have other problems you should be able to put at least a little adhesive to help keep it in. When I got my lower I was told it was o.k. to put some on non-extraction site which meant just on…

By the time I got my last 8 teeth out they were so loose they just popped out. I had stitches but was no numbed up from novacaine I never felt a thing. It did "tingle" when they snipped the stitches out, kinda like your gum being tickled.
