Take care of your teeth folks

Take care of your teeth folks😭. Unfortunately this cost me a total of 16k (8k per teeth)🥶

💡Winning a client’s trust is worth more than making a quick profit. A loyal client who comes back again and again is far more valuable than taking advantage of someone just once.

Story time:

I was initially told that 1–2 teeth would cost ₱8,000. Since I had four missing teeth, I was expecting to have three replaced because the dentist initially told me that one molar was no longer necessary since it was at the very end. I agreed with that. However, when the denture was made, the dentist only included two teeth. When I asked why, she again told me that the other molar was not necessary because it was at the very end (aren’t dentists were supposed to encourage restoring as many missing teeth as possible). When I asked about the payment, she told me that I only needed to pay ₱8,000 instead of ₱16,000. But just as I was about to leave the clinic, I was suddenly told that I still had an ₱8,000 balance because their pricing was actually per arch. This was never explained to me at the beginning, and it was not indicated on the price list that was shown to me. I still paid the balance because I didn’t want to lose a face (as maranao we have this maratabat), but honestly, I left feeling confused, disappointed, and taken advantage of. Maybe I’m being petty by posting about this horrible experience (and since i cannot get my money back) but I believe clients deserve clear pricing and proper communication from the beginning. Neveeeer again babalik, neveeeeer would encourage my friends and family to go here.

I need help my bottoms just don’t want to stick!

Back in July of last year I made the decision to get all my teeth pulled. Three days after I was given immediate dentures. It was separated because I had my teeth pulled, and my dentures done at two separate locations. Well, in January of this year I received my final dentures. The top I know stays in place better because of the suction, but my bottoms are unbearable. I’ve tried every adhesive out there, and they will not stay in. If I get them to stay in place the minute I eat something BOOM they’re loose again. I don’t even go out to eat anymore, because the fear of my bottoms coming loose while eating. Does anyone have any recommendations for me to help with the bottoms? I had a hard reline done last month and it’s somewhat helped, but they are still driving me insane. It’s almost better for me to eat without them in at all, and I hate that. Hopefully someone can help me. Thank you in advance♥️

Denture VDO

Has anyone experienced with VDO with their immediate dentures? If so, what happened and what did your dentist do about it?

I'm just over a week in E-day was 10th August, I love my dentures and I love my smile with them however I can't fully close my mouth comfortably which means i've been really struggling with my speech. They're also quite loose now and I was told to wait 2 weeks before using adhesive. Bit miserable living on Mashed Potatoes and Yoghurt.
