Yes it is Common to hate them Now Days. i Have both Sets now, ( upper & lower) & the Guy that made mine did them wrong & then waited 4 years to redo them. So I Cant eat with mine at all. I keep having mine Taken in to get them redone, But it Doesnt Work. So mine have become for show. i wear them out, but refuse to eat in public. & take them out to eat when At home., My Suggestion Is to Come up with the money to have Permanant Implants in. I have Had my Dentures for 6 miserable long years now.

There's doubtless some swelling, but you are simply going to ought to wait and notice. The lab regularly extends the front flange of the denture out under the lip to ensure it doesn't intrude with the gum after the extractions. Consider that this denture is made on an altered model--the enamel are broken off and the mannequin is shaved to an approximation of what the gums will appear like after the extractions. It is possible that the denture flange is maintaining your lip out. It is particularly feasible that even if this is proper your lip will drape more frequently after just a few days as your musculature will get used to the denture. If now not, it is usually possible (as long as the role of the tooth is correct) to reline the denture (either chairside or at a lab) after which grind again the flange so it would not puff out your enamel. Your dentist will have to have told you that a reline will likely be critical in 6-12 months anyhow. Steve Bornfeld, DDS

As others have said, go back to the dentist with a list of your complaints and concerns. You should be adapting to them by now if they fit correctly. A lot of wearing dentures is related to attitude and acceptance. The first step is the dentist for a check up of the fit. A lot changes in your mouth within the first year.

You need to take them back in so they can adjust them. You may need many adjustments until they're right. Just keep taking them in.
