Hi Kate JK,

I am no Bryanna but I am someone that had extreme pain when I got my dentures.

I could write a book on the tribulations I went through but then I would just be venting and not offering you anything more than my sad story.

Two things I found out from personal experience. ONE, once your mouth is already sore, any dental device is going to hurt until you heal. TWO, I should have started with a prosthodontist, and not wasted a huge amount of money, pain and suffering sticking with my general dentist that was too full of himself to admit he did a BAD job.

I found a prosthodontist that is excellent and I will not see anyone else. If she ever moves her practice out of town, I will travel wherever to see her. Best thing I ever did.

I would find a specialist if I were you as they have more training than a general dentist and are better able to serve your needs. (Just my opinion.)

Are you going to see an oral surgeon for your implants?

In my opinion, a general dentist is good for routine dental procedures, NOT for the extensive work of which you speak.
