[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 412094, member: 84"] Janet everyone I know, including husband, who has done the same day denture thing.......has ended up with lots of problems with fit very shortly after. husband can't even wear his now without real problems even with the stuff you can buy to hold them into place. So most of the time he doesn't bother. The issue is that over time the gums and bone tissue heal and shrink. It's a natural process. So stands to reason if you get them put in right away....that hasn't been allowed for and soon as that healing takes place the fit is not going to be there. So they have to be relined. Depending on the dentist.......that can get very expensive. Some will give you a couple of free times and others none. Mine even after all this process has lifetime free lining. And not to mention that process is down right painful as all get out. I know husband can be a big enormous baby but I know he was in a ton of pain having it done that way as he refused to eat other than liquids for weeks. (husband is like travis food is his world lol) My dentist refuses to do the instant dentures due to the fit. He said a person with dentures made correctly should never require products to keep them in place in the mouth. It's why I chose him. My grandma of course had it done the old way and she never once used something to hold her dentures in place and the woman ate anything she pleased. She had them for more than 30 yrs too. Same with mother in law until it came to the lowers.....because that dentist was in a hurry to get her lowers done (she'd had the uppers done years before) and they never fit right. Heck my step dad who raised me never had issues with his either. So I tend to believe the old way is best even if you have to do without teeth for a while. Honestly I got used to it rather fast......and it didn't affect my appearance that drastically, even according to my kids who would bluntly tell me if it did. lol All mom paid for was the pulling and the actual dentures. None of these extra zillion visits have cost her a dime. I think I'm gonna get the girls in the office something nice when I go shopping this weekend. (only 2 of them and always funny and super nice) And bake him something that he can either hog to himself or take home and share with his family. lol [/QUOTE]
