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

Hi Doctor, I am a 26yr old male and I had three of my back teeth removed yesterday. Two on my right lower jaw and one at the left upper jaw. I was just wondering how, if I was one of your patients, you would go forward from here. Can I wear dentures or caps or what.

My crowns fell off I wear dentures and have gum shrinkage

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am a 52 yr old woman and my life is being ruined by the state of my mouth. I have always had problems with my teeth,and over the years have had Crowns and a Bridge fitted.. The Crowns repeatedly fell off likewise The Bridge was always coming loose. Finally I gave up returning every few weeks to the dentist. Consequently my mouth is now in a disgusting state. I wear an upper denture which has 2 front teeth on it(This was originally made as a temporary measure whilst waiting for Crowns ) and i have one remaining crown on a back tooth. In my lower mouth i have 6 remaining teeth,they are all extremly badly decayed and need removing. My lower gum is very flat due to years of shrinkage i suppose. I am not sure what can be done in the way of Dentures . I realise this is my own fault and would give anything to have my teeth back. I just want to smile once more with an open mouth . Many Thanks for reading this and i feel better for just sending it.I’m finally addressing this terrible problem C
