Hi. This sounds as a very bad job done by the dentist. It is crucial
for the dentures that they are matched with the other teeth in the
other jaw. That is what the works is about for the dentist. It is a
fear requirement to ask him to do the work over again. Not to try to
fix the denture you have but make a new one taking into account the
bite which is the most important thing with making dentures.
I hope that you will have a good bite and fit so you can see that
having dentures is not the end of the world and that you should be
able to eat nearly everything you want. I have a full set for 30
years and love my dentures and nearly forget about them during the
day. This will happen to you as well when having a good fit and bite.
You have payed enough so this he should do for nothing to make you
another pair.
