How Long Wait Dentures
How does it take…..?
…more or less, how long do u have to wait to get fitted for dentures after getting ur natural teeth pullled, and then be able to wear without pain?
A lot depends on the condition of your mouth and gums when your teeth are extracted. If you have lots of infection it will take longer.
Ask the dentist if you would be a candidate for immediate dentures- these are dentures placed immediately after your teeth are extracted. There are pros and cons about getting these. One big pro is no loss of self esteem. One big con is the need for more frequent adjustments during healing.
As far as how long it takes to heal and not have any pain is an individual thing. The pain from the extractions usually subsides within a week with the use of over the counter pain meds.
Wearing the dentures painlessly may take a while but it gets better ever day.
Good luck, feel free to contact me off the board if you want.
