Hi, My teeth were so damaged, loose and infected it would have been impossible for me to have molds taken before the oral surgery to remove the teeth.
All of my remaining upper teeth were removed last week and tomorrow all of the bottom come out. They wanted my teeth out asap and there was no time to wait (plus all this is happening to be cleared for total hip replacement surgery.)
So... I had no way to be fitted for temporary dentures. I'm hearing it's best to wait 6 months for permanent dentures. OK I'm willing to but couldn't I be fit for temporary ones while I wait, even if they didn't fit that great? Or can I be fitted for permanent dentures 6-8 weeks following surgical removal of my teeth instead of waiting 6 months?
I really don't know what to do. I can't imagine having no teeth for 6 months. What are my best options at this point? Thank you for your help!
