I had 4 teeth extracted and my denture does not fit

Sunday, March 9th, 2008
Q.
Good afternoon, Dr. Patel. I am in need of professional advice. I have had my four front bottom teeth extracted today and a denture fitted. Once the numbness cause by the injections had subsided and I was able to have a closer look at my ‘new teeth’ I find, to my horror, that there is a 2mm gap between the ‘new teeth’ and my gum. Obviously, the denture does not fit properly. It looks absolutely grotesque. I have an appointment to see my Dentist tomorrow……what should I be looking for? I am totally shaken by what I see and I don’t know what can be done. Can you advise? Kind regards
