(None sim content)1st day with upper partial denture

[@cbkipper]

Hi Kev, Thanks for your very brave and honest video. I am in exactly the same position as you today having just got back from the Dentist with my partial denture. Like you I hope my situation settles down and the denture starts to feel more natural and comfortable. Good luck with your teeth and thanks for the helpful video. I hope to see your follow up one.

How are you getting on with your partial denture? Have my tooth out on Thursday, tried the trial plate last week and I couldnt speak with it in at all. Am dreading it

[@cbkipper]

Hi Angela, I am sticking with my partial allthough I can't lie it does not feel natural. I seem to have a very sensitive gag reflex which doesn't help. Also now that my bruising from my extractions has gone down my denture seem a bit loose so am trying using some adhesive to stop them moving. Overall I wish I had looked after my own teeth better when I was younger but we'll see how it all settled down. Good luck to you and I hope you are able to soon settle down with your denture.

@@cbkipper Its 2 weeks since I had my false tooth. Have a full plate with it on, its the fourth tooth from the front at the top. I cant get used to it, cant speak properly with it in and definitely cant eat. I cant feel the food on the roof of my mouth, feels weird. Like you, my denture seems to be more loose now. I so hate it.

Thanks so much Kev I got through it and I have straight white teeth for first time ever at 60! I cried my three adult kid's cried, you got me through it, a video I chose to watch cos you are English! My original homeland 🇬🇧👍🇭🇲

[@kevedwards]

Excellent, glad I could help. 👍

[@nigelogden5235]

Well done mate , unreal you have just described my childhood and my parents were the same both had poor teeth so did my late brother , i will admit i have had partial top and bottom for over 40 years thats , wow that was hard for me to admit, keep up the good work

[@kevedwards]

It’s helps to know there’s people with the same troubles, specially when everybody seems to waking round with Hollywood smiles nowadays. cheers for sharing mate, it’s not easy to put it out in the open. 👍

[@lynzyd1]

Aww I feel for you I really do! I’m just waiting to set of to the dentist to have the same procedure! I’m shitting it tbh! I’ve been sat here all morning looking at peoples vlogs! Thank you for posting this .. I hope you have gotten use to it, and can I say you look amazing, can’t even tell I hope mine turns out just as good as yours xx

[@kevedwards]

Thanks, Takes a couple of weeks but then it just becomes normal, doesn’t bother me at all now can still eat and drink everything I could before except sticky toffee but it’s no hard ship really.

[@lynzyd1]

@@kevedwards i hope so, I’ve put this off for sooooo long, spent a fortune on root canals and fillings! Just sat in the waiting room now, really appreciate your reply fingers crossed I don’t pass out haha or even worse falls out when on a night out oh well here it goes thanks again really means a lot xx

[@kevedwards]

You’ll be sound 👍 I’ve honestly never had any issue with them falling out or anything like that, once they’re in there in, just might take a day or so to get them in the position, I think I was wearing them wrong at first so they didn’t quite lock in but once i realised they where perfect. Good luck with yours, hope it all goes well.

[@lynzyd1]

@@kevedwards hey … had them done, spent the last 4hrs crying my eyes out! but my dentist is an absolute bell***! He clipped them in? But according to him they were to tight? So he’s cut them? Now don’t fit, Very long story but I’ve got an absolutely mess in my mouth! I also ended up needing 5 stitches?? Currently sat with a huge bump of dental wax or what ever this is in my mouth as he tried to patch it up! Said I’ve to leave it like this for about 8wks then I’ll get a newer one fitted? I need another dentist opinion as this is a joke tbh, but just thought I’d send a little update. This is also a private dentist also! Totally regretting this at the moment 😢

[@kevedwards]

Damn that’s awful, hope it gets sorted for you. There’s always other dentists if your one is no good, they normal do free consultations so might be worth the second opinion.

[@daleshaw7689]

Hey Kev. Ty for your openess on your experience. Later this week I'm due to have the last 4 of 7 top teeth removed due advanced gum disease. It was supposed to be last week but the denture that was prepped for me to walk out wearing didn't account for the removal of my 4 teeth. The dentist was very apologetic though I didn't get a clear indication of how this might have happened. My mild relief didn't offset any of my recent apprehension. Nevertheless this is the week. Your video and responses to comments really have put my mind at ease regarding the eating and speech adjustment. Thanks again.

[@veronicakelly7177]

Proud of you for doing this son. You will get used to it. Or there’s always Budapest, turkey or India 😉. A holiday in with the price. Truthfully even though I went to Budapest the best most natural I’ve seen are from a dentist in turkey though don’t know which one it was. X

[@amandabcnn]

Thank you🙏

[@kimpozo3514]

I have had partial 2 years and HATE It! Now dentist wants me pull my last 6 upper teeth get upper denture when i don't even like my partial? Help any advise?

[@susanburns276]

I'm going to get mine in 8hrs! I'm nervous having 2 teeth on top removed as lost one front and Next to it. But getting bottom part and old loose bridge replaced part denture!!! My probs were from negligent dentist 17 year's ago! Thanks for this 👍🇭🇲

[@kevedwards]

Good luck, you’ll be fine after a couple of weeks. 👍

[@susanburns276]

Cheers for that 👍i can get a few hours sleep now, I haven't eaten solid food in 7*yrs so a few week's I can live with 😁

Hello! I just got partial in Budapest last week. I live in the USA. Lot cheaper in Hungary . I’m from Budapest so every time I have dental issue I go there. If u have any question let me know. I’m pretty devastated about it because I always took very good care of my teeth . It’s genetics. I don’t like my partials, for me it’s uncomfortable and hard to eat with them . Can’t wait to take them out but then I’m upset how I look like without them. I’ll get implants also I think that will be great . The cost is still pretty high even in Hungary but doesn’t even come close to the price in USA. Just an extraction is $800. So crazy. I know how u feel, keep ur chin up at least we r not toothless:)

[@kevedwards]

Thanks for your feedback, to be honest I don’t mind the partial, I think I am lucky that it fits really well and hasn’t given me any issues so far. I’ll probably only go for implants if I start having issues with my other teeth.

[@benl2558]

Hi can I ask how did the talking go with the dentures I have the immediate ones for now and struggling to pronounce certain word mainly S’s and F’s I get my partials in 6weeks time

[@kevedwards]

Took me a few weeks but it’s surprising how quick you get used to them, it’s a little daunting at first but they soon just become part of normal routine and you’ll forget you’re even wearing them in no time.

[@user-kn8nh9pw1u]

Hi kev thanks for the video. I'm due to get a partial denture next week and feeling pretty apprehensive about the whole situation only being 37. They are also for the top as 3 are now missing from injury. I just wondered what the partial denture is like for eating? And do you have to apply any dentafix etc to keep the partial denture in place. Cheers

[@kevedwards]

I’ve got almost no issues what so ever eating apart from maybe really sticky toffee, can eat anything else really, often have corn on the cob and fiddle bits like that without issue. Don’t use and dentafix or anything like that, just goes in and stays there. It will take a few weeks to get used to and at first it might get you a bit down but honestly it becomes much easier to live with. It will be fine bud. 👍

[@gearoidnyhan9226]

Hi Kev, great to see a good human interest along with the sim rally stuff. I personally have had some extensive work done as well so I feel where your at I had jaw restructuring to fix a protruding jaw and I had braces to fix the positioning as my teeth were all twisted. Thankfully it’s all behind me although I was the exact same with the brushing when I was growing up so my gums are not too good in places. The only thing I can say is you poor fella as thankfully I’ve never had teeth out apart from wisdoms, it looks awful so I hope the denture works for you

[@kevedwards]

Gearoid Nyhan that sounds like a nightmare bud, glad it’s all behind you now though. I’ll adjust myself it will just take a bit of time. I think it’s more the psychological aspect more then anything else.

[@gearoidnyhan9226]

KevEdwards SimRally yes, your spot on, the mental side of it is massive. Hope everything works out for you ... Eventually

[@cherylcottrell7585]

Can we have an update on your partial denture please, did you end up having implants?

[@kevedwards]

To be honest I’ll probably not bother with implants, not yet anyway, 99% of the time I don’t even think about the partial now I got used to it pretty Quickly. It’s really not as big as an issue as you’ll make it on your head. 👍

[@gaylecheung3087]

They’re new it takes about six months to get used to imagine you should get a partial metal one instead

[@karolinarogowska2646]

Hi:) Did you get used to your denture? Xx

[@kevedwards]

Yes, i got used to it really quickly, maybe a week or 2. I forget about it for most of the day now and has just become part of my normal dental routine.

[@karolinarogowska2646]

@@kevedwards good to hear that :) Did you think about flexi dentures? Xx
