Will My Dentist Fit My Temporary Dentures Straight Away Or Will I Be Gummy For A While?
Q.
Hello Andrew, I’m getting dentures fitted soon and I’m also having my remaining teeth out and I’m worried I will be left all gummy for a while. Does this happen? I understand that I may get temporary wax dentures to check the fitting is correct and that the finished dentures will be acrylic. I’m just paranoid ill be Mr Gummy for a while. I would also like to know if the temporary ones are going to hurt or be uncomfortable at all? Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your question. You may want to ask your particular dentist but at my clinic we don’t leave the patient gummy, normally fitting the dentures on the day the teeth are removed. You may have a dentist who does things differently however. The quality of dentures and the discomfort they cause depends on the price of materials your dentist uses. If you would prefer a greater quality of denture, enquire with your dentist as to whether they have a payment plan to make the payments more affordable. I hope this answers your questions. Best of luck with your new dentures. Dr Andrew Moore.
