Immediate top denture day!
After 6-7 years of consistent tooth issues, today was the day to start putting those to bed.
The 9 remaining top teeth were removed (the gap in the before photo is only 2 weeks old), and 7 teeth are left on the bottom.
The immediate denture was fitted on the top, and I can handle the bottom how it is for a few months before getting that one fitted.
First impressions… aside from the obvious “holy crap these feel huge” sensation, there is a little vertical movement when there’s any pressure against them. This could be just something with immediate dentures, it could be a case of managing my expectations - I’ll see how that changes over the coming weeks.
I think the big adjustment will be the feeling against the roof of the mouth - how did you all deal with that?
Very happy with the aesthetics though, and once the soreness wears off from the extractions I’m looking forward to seeing how I go with eating.
