Hi all,
in september/october i had all my teeth out and immediate dentures in, these are immediate dentures so obviously dont fit very well. My problem is the my gums and bones have receded so much the front bottom are almost flat, with my dentures being so loose im having to restick them in about 4/5 times a day, which is very painful as they are well stuck at the back. i feel very low and in pain most of the time. Been to docs, she gave me 5% local anaesthetic to rub on the sore bits, this helps, but only for a short time. my main concern is is it possible to get dentures to fit when there is no gum/bone left or am i looking at bone grafts?? Im back at the dentist for my 3 month check up next week but the pain and uncertainty is sometimes upsetting. Thanks for listening
