Question:

Some questions about dentures...?

ok. so im going to be getting all of my top teeth extracted and all of the bottom except the 2 canines. on the top im getting dentures, and the bottom im getting a partial. ive read stuff that you cant smoke, im a smoker. and im wondering about that.. how long before the surgery do you have to quit, and how long after before you can smoke. another question.. somebody tld me that your face bruises after you get everything extracted.. i was wondering if this is true or not? and finally im wondering if they make a top denture that doesnt have that retainer like piece that goes over the roof of your mouth? any help would be much appreciated. this is my first post on here. thanks!


Answers:

Just had mine done and there are a few things I can tell you. I smoke and didn't stop and I'm still around, so no problem there. I think they prefer if you stop at least a few hours before any I/V is done.

Swelling will happen but it only lasted a day or two for me. No bruising that you could see though. Just a bit of a godfather look.

Top denture comes with an upper palate - don't know if there is an option.

Takes a while to get used to the things. I'm still getting mine adjusted and it's been 4 weeks now. Slowly but surely. Still can't eat a steak though.

Good luck.

Cheers :-)
