Day 2 after full extractions

[carrieann44]

I finally got brave enough to start my denture journey!! Yesterday was E day and went fairly smoothly. Still pretty swollen and gums are still very tender but I'm not doing too bad. I did not go the immediate dentures route so the next few months are going to be a test on my mental health as far as dirty looks and unneeded comments and opinions. I'm doing this for me, it's my journey to a happy healthy smile again

Estimated 2-3 months. They're being digitally printed?

Carrieann44. Congratulations on your courage and stepping into the denture journey , it is a huge step that shows Alot of strength on your part. Glad E day went well! It is a day by day journey.. we are here for you and you are never alone! I hope you did or will do something special for yourself as a reward. Be it big or little. When I would get major dental.. or any dental procedure I'd stop and get a chocolate mousse pastry, that was my reward easy to eat and to me tasted amazing
