Denture doesn't fit? Can I do something to make my denture fit better?

[@richnubbz4910]

Just want to say thank you for all the advice on this channel. Lots of dental damage from my time serving in the Army, I've been suffering with teeth that have been falling apart for over a decade. Lots of bad dental work growing up pretty poor and in the Military. Made the decision recently to get dentures and been weighing the pros and cons of snap in's. Definitely leaning towards snap-ins but cost at the moment is prohibitive. Does getting a set of "traditional dentures" first, and then returning in a year or 18 months later to get implants and a snap in complicate the procedure at all?

I just got my denture. I can’t really eat much. With them. I’m losing weight. I. Should have just kept my old teeth if I knew this was gonna happen

If only I had done my research before hand… I am 31 and have full dentures after almost a year of having them the DDS. that I paid well over 5$ grand to still can not get my natural nor a confident smile for me. Today at my “last appointment”, I literally had to walk out with such defeat and embarrassment as no one in the room would hear me out properly and basically tell me that’s just what you have to deal with.. new dentures that had to be re made bc the dental assistant chipped my acrylic and also shaved down teeth I did not ask for and now are much smaller fitting in my mouth that makes me look like I’ve aged 5-10+ years.. although my original ones that the messed up still fit great! And give me that structure and support I’m looking for so idk how they can’t get this right or understand that I don’t want to look worse than what I did coming into their establishment than what I originally did. I just had a baby and this should be the happiest times of my life and I feel so robbed by these people bc I can’t smile confidently.

I had something similar plus they made an overbite and I cannot chew food. I hate 3:16 the dental office and now I’m screwed. I felt so defeated I bought a 3d printer and I’m attempting to make my own. I’m even considering making them snap on and screwing posts in myself. The pain would be worth it considering I pulled most of my teeth myself there isn’t much I cannot handle. Its too bad most do doctors & dentists suck let alone insurance is shit that I should need to resort to great lengths to have teeth I can use.

Can the top height of where the denture falls be changed with a reline .

[@mayj1973]

question about fit... You talked about how relines will not fix an inaccurate bite. I had 24 extractions top and bottom at the same time and was fitted with overdentures. This package that I have is a 1 year "healing" and "adjustment" time frame consisting of and including 3 soft relines and a suggested hard reline at the end of the year at an additional cost. I have not had my first reline as of yet and am only 2 weeks post extractions so I know there are still going to be some changes coming my way but if my bite doesnt fit well now (side to side) will it not fill well at the end of this process? Thoughts please.

My dad had brand new over dentures made but they are so tight - can this be fixed ?

Hey guys thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been having a huge problem with getting my dentures to fit. I have a full set and my problem is I can't eat with them, I'm unable to lick the front of my front teeth. you know how you should be able to reach the top of your inner lip with your tounge. I can't reach that with tops in. They also click a little when I speak as well. my dentist is super hesitant to cut them shorter but they just don't fit right. I've paid 5k for the set another 800 for a relign and taking off a little height but I'm at my wits end. I don't have anymore money and I don't want to take off more height if the dentist doesn't recommend it but I can't take it anymore. Do you have any advice? Or something I could say to him to convey the seriousness of not being able to eat with them?.? He doesn't seem concerned that I can't reach my upper gums with my tounge, should I not be as concerned about that either? I feel like that's what holds me back from eating with them.

They took my good teeth out no bone now. Starving and can't have implants. More expensive than teeth:(
