Dentures or false teeth?!

Dentures or false teeth?

i am interested in getting dentures, i am only 23.. my mom says not to do it, but when i was at the dentist last he said that alot of my teeth arent worth saving because they are rotted on the inside.. i mean i have a nice smile, but i have alot of cavaties from soda and they arent very white either... i just want a gorgeous smile, bright white and if i get all these cavaties drilled and teeth pulled. why not just get them all gone and get a nice set of fake ones?? atleast that way i can keep a white smile withour all the hassle.... give me your opinion..... thanks

also if anyone has them... does it hurt and how long before you can talk and eat and all of that ??? also is it a one day procedure, cause i am not going in public with no teeth!!!!

i just got my dentures 8 months ago. i had a horrible smile. i thought there was going to be alot of pain. but i was surprised when there wasnt. i got my new teeth put in the same day. i didnt eat anything the rest of the day. was not hungary. the next few days, i ate alot of pudding and icecream, (i now no longer eat pudding, as i now hate it) after the 5th day, i started eating solids because i was starving. as time goes on, you will be able to eat most of the same things you ate before. (with out the pain, oh joy joy) it takes like 6 months for your gums to heal completly, as they are shrinking slowly. you will have to go in periodicly to get your denture re-lines. but it is not bad. you will then either get a permanent re-line in your denture, or you will get fitted for a permanent denture, depends on what plan you have. best of luck to ya
