This is my second post, the first being about what made me so 'adverse' to Dentists in general (I am pretty sure most are decent people, it's just so hard to really know which are)
Long story, short. I got full dentures the end of May. The very last thing i wanted to do. But, here I am.
I have traditional full dentures, eating is a trial and off putting to say the least. The Denturist mentioned implants or 'snap in' type dentures. Those come at a considerable cost that i just couldn't cover at the time, but the type I did buy can be 'converted' (I guess, that's what they told me)
My question is
Is it easier to eat with dentures that are 'attached' that traditional? I love food, and many different kids that are, at this point so off putting (trying to chew with plates floating and not gagging myself in the process)
Can more 'permanent' plates allow me to eat easier? Can you eat more varieties of foods? Can you eat a sandwich?
I thank God, I own dairy goats, at least I can get a complete, sweet, protein without gagging myself.
I can handle 'no', I am just wondering if that $$$ investment is worth considering
It is a very bleak time in my life right now. I tried to keep my teeth nice, it wasn't in the cards for me to keep them ?
