Default dentures
I need upper dentures and probably lower dentures and am really scared.
should i have sedation when the teeth are pulled? should i have the uppers done first and wait several months and then do the bottom ones or have them done at once? About how long does it take to get used to dentures? what happens if you have dry mouth from all the meds? what is the best cleaner? do you recommend an adhesive too?
thanks a lot
bobby

Hi bobby,

You need to have a comprehensive examination and xrays to determine if all of your teeth need to be removed. Have you had those things done? If so, what was the diagnosis and treatment plan from your dentist?

they didn't give me a diagnosis. they just said i needed dentures and that my teeth would fall out. I was trying to get some ideas when i see the new dentist so i would have some knowledge instead of just relying on what he said. i don't have much money so that was why i first chose nyu dental clinic and now am going to try bellevue. thank you so much replying.

Bobby,

You have not given us much information to go by here. So it would be impossible to offer you any guidance at this point. I hope you get a clearer understanding of your dental situation at Bellevue.

Good Luck,
Bryanna
