Whats it like to have upper and lower dentures?
Kimmy, Getting dentures is a tough decision and one you must make with a lot of information. Get several opinions before you let anyone pull your teeth. Once they are gone, they are gone! Some people have no problem adapting to dentures, some never get the hang of it. You need to find a dentist who is very skilled at fitting and designing dentures. There is a steep learning curve associated with them as well. You will need to go back to the dentist for adjustments and relines as your mouth heals and changes. There are also self esteem (emotional) issues to be prepared for. You need a good support system at home and if you know anyone who has dentures talk to them about their experiences and who they went to for their work. Everyone has a different experience and you will too. I get along with mine fine, virtually no different from having real teeth except I take them to clean them.
