Replacement denture looks wrong, feeling disappointed

[Secretdenturewearer]

Hi, this is my first time posting, but thank you everyone as this site has really helped me through the process of extraction and getting first upper, then full, dentures after years of gum disease and dental phobia.
I'm a 45 year old woman and just got new upper and lower dentures as my old ones were frequently cracking. I've come home from the lab today and whilst they fit much better, I'm really conscious that my upper front two teeth are lower than the others, whilst they weren't before. My old dentures looked like my original, natural teeth and these don't...
I'm panicking that they're too white and a bit 'goofy' looking and that everyone will notice. (Only my husband and boss know I wear dentures)
Should I go back to the lab or wait and see if I get used to them?? I still have my old set which I plan to wear to work tomorrow as I also didn't realise I would be lisping so much(!) Has anyone experienced similar?

Hi scretdenturewearer,

you can first ask people who’s opinions you trust, how the new dentures look. You might like them. Generally speaking, long teeth are considered more esthetic (well, they can also be too long…)

Shortening the acryl teeth is easy, takes about one minute and should be cost free. Adding more length is difficult.

Thank you for your reply, I've been in tears at the look of them(they feel great in terms of the fit).
Only the tips of the upper front two incisors are visible when my mouth is slightly open so I have a rabbit like look...which is upsetting. My husband agrees but thinks it's not as noticeable as I do.
I will call the lab who made them and explain I'm not happy. I had a wax try in but they were so loose I couldn't get any sense of the final look. Thanks for your help.

As I mentioned, it is an easy fix.
don’t hold it against the lab, these things happen.

I've been to see the lab today (after delays due to covid) they were lovely and shortened the teeth, so they look more like my original natural ones. I'm so relieved! For anyone in a similar position, I was amazed at how quickly it was resolved after me freaking out! Thank you so much for your response Dr Daniel.
