    Best is to wait for a week, you just got your denture. Definitely you will be adjusting for now. Anything that is new in our mouth needs time

    to adjust - not sure if this the first time or another one ( replacing the

    old one ). However, after a week or two and you feel the same way and you get the same feedback from friends and family, then definitely

    see your Dentist again and explain your concern. They can adjust

    your denture without a problem.

    It seems to be. One of the tenants where I live got dentures because he had no teeth for many years. It was only at my persistence that he got them.

    Looks like a completely different person. The upper lip does seem to be puffy but I think that's because his upper lip is not used to anything in its way. It might go away with time. I'm not sure.

    Wait ,.. I'll ask him....Sorry for the wait. He is sleeping at the moment and I don't want to wake him. Grrr!
