A. Dear Enquirer, Most patients who have dentures manage to get used to them. Its a case of being patient and wearing the denture every day. A gag reflex is not normally an issue and will be overcome with time. With regards to removing your teeth, any competent dentist will be able to remove any teeth whether that be now or in a year’s time.
