Tomorrow I will have my impressions done for my dentures. Its taken me a while to gather up my out of pocket expense. I am scared to death. As stated before when I have all the extractions done I'll be IV sedated.
Any one offer me a time frame impressions to insertion of dentures?
Keep your fingers crossed..I know I am.
 
I had my impressions done on July 22nd. I'll be getting the final extractions and immediate dentures on August 11th. My dentist told me that ideally, he'd like to do all the extractions, then wait three months or so before inserting the dentures, but there's no way I'd be able to go three months with no teeth. I opted for less comfortable dentures while my gums heal rather than be without.

Good luck! Maybe we can compare notes once we've both got our new smiles? :cheers:
