Dentures Dont fit Tight   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1116 of 3382 |
Hi, I had 15 uppers pulled in April, the imm put right in, 6 months I
received my perm set, but they dont have a tight fit at all,
everything else seemg great so far the look, bit, but the fit and to
me I feel thats important.

I went in to talk to the dentist but only seen a assistant, I only
seen him when he pulled my teeth.

I was told I would have to wait til April for a reline, They said I
would not like the soft liner

But the line in your lip my dentures are not lined up straight with it?
My mom says they should be? Is anybody elses like this?

I just dont feel like I'm being treated right I pd in full so I'm stuck

Plus since they didnt fit in the first place is the reliner going to
make them fit? Another $95
