My new dentures don’t fit after their first week, is there anything I can do about this?
Q.
In June of this year I got upper dentures. I was given a temporary plate to wear for 90 days. I was told the permanent plate would look like my natural teeth, they took 3 impressions of my natural teeth. I went last week to get the permanent plate and it is lose. I can push it out with my tongue. But worse than that I cannot close my mouth. My mouth is open and the dentist told me it was the result of the larger teeth in the permanent plate and didn’t think there was anything they could do about it. What should I do? I really need some help here. Thank you.

You should go back to your dentist and explain the issues you have . Your dentist should be able to solve these problems – a new denture may be required
