I'm 42 in need of full set of dentures.I'm a full time cashier I CANNOT! go to work without teeth.?
Answers:
Depending on the condition of your mouth and remaining teeth, they can usually take impressions in advance of the extractions and make a set of dentures called immediate dentures. They are placed in your mouth as soon as your remaining teeth are removed. They will not be perfect but good enough to get you out and about.
Usually with immediate dentures you will need to see the dentist often for adjustments and relines as your gums will shrink as the swelling goes down. By getting immediates- your gums will be covered and with pressure on them, you will heal somewhat faster plus you will avoid the possible embarrassment of having no teeth. Also you will get a jump start on learning to use your dentures.
After a reasonable period of time, healing and adjustments, you will probably get a new set of dentures made that will fit much better and be less bulky than the immediates. Not all practices do this so be sure to ask lots of questions up front including what all do I get for these fees? Are relines and adjustments part of the package, if not, how much extra will they be?
Good luck,

In your case they would use what is called an immediate denture. Ask your dentist about it. However, if this is not an option consider the fact that Waffle House waitresses have been working without teeth for years.
wow
i would not either
dont talk
ha ha get some teeth just kiddding..good luck
What is your question?
Try "Chickletts"? glued together.
that's not bad dont be embarrassed you might never know who has them as well.
Get emergency medicaid -- or steal them.
They will pull your teeth and put an immediate denture in. Once the swelling goes down they will then make you a permanent denture. You will not be without teeth at all.
Go to the dentist and ask about payment options or dental insurance you can apply for.
So what is the question? Ask if there is a finance plan I guess. I bet you can work without them, it is just you being self conscience, I guess it comes down to how bad do you want to work because life is not free.
So you know your problem, now do something about it, or maybe you have a good reason to be lazy.
I've heard of places that you go and you can get all your teeth pulled and dentures in one day. I would check into it. Your probably going to have to take some time off work. I wouldn't go either. Good luck
I know they can pull your teeth out and get dentures all in the same day. I have heard that it is better to wait until your gums heal before you get fitted for dentures though. This is just to make sure you have the appriopritate fit. Maybe you can take a week off work or something until you get your dentures.
most dentists scoff at this but see if yours will do an upper then a lower.
however, many people (including me) have worked with women getting dentures and did not have teeth for about a month or so.
I didn't see any problem. she just didn't smile with her mouth open and covered her mouth when she laughed.
then she got them and didn't shut up. Good luck and I bet you'll realize waiting isn't so bad.
Im a waitress with a messed up front teeth so I hear you and what your saying.Customer service is hard and people can be mean.Go try to find one of those denture clinics and shop around.Another thing is alot of people who live in texas and southern california cross the border to the dental clinics there its about half the price but you have to do your homework and its only worth if you live near the borderf .Whatever you do dont despair.if you have to go a month without teeth then do it.You will be so happy when its all over.I think you can get it all done the same day at some places although you may have a bit of discomfort at least you would have teeth.Good luck!
Speak to your dentist, he can arrange that the dentures be put in the same day you have your teeth pulled. I believe they call that immediate dentures.
