Like to go without dentures

Many people wear dentures but like to go without them. Some don't want to be seen without their teeth, either by family members or the general public. Many of us like the feeling of empty gums, but don't want to have others see us. If you have dentures, do like to be seen while toothless?

I will let you know after I have my extractions! I hope I will feel confident enough to go without dentures sometimes but it will take me time to get used to the new teeth aswell as having bare gums.

@EthanM when are you getting your extractions? Mine are being done in two parts. First part is done. Second part comes next month

@EthanM
I’m so glad I got immediates Ethan even though gh I like to be gummy at home by myself
I’ve been able to function fairly normally in public with my immediates
Most people can’t tell which I’m happy about and I’m fortunate that I could speak clearly with my new denture in
I’m also fortunate not to have had any noticeable gum shrinkage in the first 4 weeks just a little now so if I’d waited I would only just be getting a denture now!! So it’s really worth it to get immediates just for getting used to them
All the best my friend 😊👍
