Anyone have dentures??

He still wouldnt be able to wear them straight away... oww that would hurt. He will do more damage to his gums if he does..

Question... How can they take a mould of his gums with his teeth still in?

The majority of his teeth apart from the lower four have been broken over the years so he only has tiny stumps of teeth left.

Speaking from experience less than a year ago.
Yes, his teeth will be taken out then the new ones are put straight in. Yes, it is uncomfortable and he will not be allowed to take them out for a few days. It sounds worse than it really is, he will just be grumpy for the first day. Eating is great fun also, you live on soup and smoothies
Go and get from the chemist a mouth wash called Dentyl. It is wonderful and really takes the awful taste out of the mouth.
The swelling doesn't take that long to go and within the week he will be easily taking them out to clean.
He will then have a couple of months using a dental glue (name has just gone out of my head) until his gums have shrunk then he goes for another fitting to have them refitted to fit his gums correctly.
Make sure he takes that day off work as he will be without teeth for the day.

Hope this helps and answers some questions
