My mother has had her dentures for over 50 years that she originally got the day she got her real ones pulled. They never got any reline at all. She said when she got them she put them in and left them in except to clean them she never had trouble at all. I getting 11 remaining teeth pulled and getting immediate dentures and I sure praying I have my mom's luck adjusting well to dentures
My grandma did too, but she had her real bottoms. I think that's why. It's crazy, just bc her front teeth were bucked they advised her to rip out her whole top arch, and put a denture in the early 50's...but she has that thing till the day she died lol. Wild. How did your go?
and it was upsetting to see you in this video… I can’t even imagine how many people you’ve helped. I didn’t see the comment but don’t let one comment get you down. You’ve been such an inspiration. You are amazing. Keep up the good work ;)
I know that this is 4 years later now, but it breaks my heart to see you apologise and being upset. Stop it sweetheart!!!!! 💜💜 You are the most generous beautiful hearted person. You give and give way above and beyond the call of duty. You deserve a damned medal ma'm!! 😊😚💜💜 You have helped me out of the depths of lost depression, paralysing fear and anxiety and loneliness. You are my "go to girl" for support ++++. Thank you × a million. 😊😚😚😚 Sending an OS hug from Australia. 🙇♀️💞💖
So many blessings to you, dear one. NEVER feel like you are doing an inadequate job; you do MORE than you know to help others. And you are so honest, un-shameful, and out in front. I'm going thru this at the age of 67, had great shame, and you have helped me move forward in ways you'll never know. And, PS, you are so totally beautiful, and I am so happy you have a loving husband and a lovely family!
Finding your videos has been the absolute best thing in the world for me. I'm 29 years old, never on drugs, not a drinker, obviously (lol) do not have an eating disorder, but I was so afraid to go and get my teeth pulled and get dentures. I'm an indie author, so my mug all over the place in PR photos and it would be nice to smile in them from now on. Thank you so much for the courage I needed! You're a beautiful person, inside and out! :D
Thank you so much for all your inspiration. I was so scared of the whole journey. I'm so excited I got my dentures Friday. I cried to finally see a beautiful smile. No chipped teeth no more gaps no more toothache. You have no idea much you've helped. And praise God for helping me thru the pain hugs
Confirmation here. I'm someone you helped a whole lot, and you definitely DO take very good care of your subbers. Nope, you sure don't cut and paste, you DO get personal, and we thank you for when you can. For those of us you've helped, we thank you for your info and your involvement. You're patient with us, we get ya!
Thank you so much...You are so WONDERFUL and GORGEOUS, too. I'm in the process getting Implants. My process started 2009 and I still have IMMEDIATES on top and implants on bottom. SLOW PROCESS because COSTLY. Anyway, hope you WIN for your IMPLANTS. I voted for you. I hope people understand YOU ARE JUST ONE PERSON! You definitely CARE! I would be so proud to have you as my Daughter. I'm a 66 Year Old woman, and I've been very informed by you. Thank you for being such a giving person!
You are doing a great job and great service to all who are struggling with these topics. Do the best that you can and let it go at the end of the day. People will complain no matter what you do...just take care of yourself and your family. Those of us who have families know how much time that takes day to day. Good job again!
Kristi, if anyone leaves you a message about "you don't respond" "you really don't care" they obviously have NOT WATCHED your videos from beginning and in order = 3 kids, just married, special needs, Drs appts. COME ON PEOPLE. You discuss all of that in many videos. People who say stuff like that to you are "selfish". I know they want a shoulder to lean on, but geez, your not the only one out there with info. You are however, the most personal, most honest, pretty to look at and funny to boot! I know this video was a long time ago, but I'm sure it still happens. I was SHOCKED when you responded to me! I was grateful and felt special as well. So you take your sweet time responding to people. HugZ
Janet Jordan You put that perfectly, Janet! Asking Kristi to take her teeth out....??? Are they mentally deranged?? If she'd had a mastectomy, would they ask her to take her shirt off?? 😲 Actually, they probably would. 😈 Nasty , little, cruel minded people. Lonely people can be very kind, but sad.These types just have no life of their own, so they jealously try to suck the life out of other people. Kristi is the most inspiring , generous young woman I've ever seen and had the luck to find on U tube. 💜💜💜
Pam F. My dentist is the ONLY person to see me without my dentures! Even my Husband hasn’t! When I brush my teeth, I get low with the sink so my mouth is covered! There’s not enough money on the planet that anyone could pay me to get on RUclips without any teeth!! I’m 60 years old and do my best to look good at all times.
Thank you for being so open, and sharing your experiences with dentures. You have changed my outlook on dentures, before I was hoarding and getting disheartened about the cost of implants. Thank you
If there's anything people should get from your videos is that you are a real person with real challenges. You've helped countless people simply by being you. If others can't understand that you don't have the ability to reply to everyone on the world wide web, then they just don't get it. I'm one of the thousands you've inspired and can't thank you enough. Thank you for the smile and the joy that goes along with it! : )
Gosh people leave this poor woman alone. She's not an expert like she says. She's got enough going on. Don't bombard her. You do enough kalinjax I had to deal with losing all my teeth from cancer and I see someone young like me with dentures and I don't feel bad. I love your videos. This is only time I will comment to you to say you are doing a great job. But never feel bad if you can't answer every body. Your family is first. You've done enough. Helped so many people. Ignore any negative comments. And thank you. You inspire many. God bless you!
They absolutely can, given you have enough bone to support the implants. Dr. Golpa (the dentist who did my implants) said that he's put implants in patients in their 90's. Of course your health and other factors unique to yourself would come into play but age alone wouldn't determine if you were a candidate or not. Hope that helps!
Girl, look as you said you have a personal life too. There is no way you can do it all. Im two in past my 23 teeth extraxtion and I hate getting use to having this stuff in your mouth. But youve helped answer alot questions I had..so just chill your doing a good deed!😊
Thank you for being so brave and open about your procedure. You are such a beautiful woman and I am sure it was not easy for you to have gone through life with your teeth the way they were. Your video documentary was very helpful for those of us who have yet to go through your procedure. A beautiful smile can give you so much confidence. Thank you for sharing.
I'm a dental student, set to graduate soon. Anyways, I'm on here to hear what patients are saying about their treatment, and it's interesting to see how denture patients respond. Let me lend another perspective. I love helping patients, but hate making dentures because of patient expectations vs. reality. I have found that a lot of people do not understand that dentures only have 10% of the biting force functionality that natural teeth do. They expect, as you say, to receive dentures and have them function like natural teeth or implants. It's disheartening to see a denture get delivered, have a patient back for a follow-up appointment, only to hear them say those dreaded words, "I hate my dentures". And it has nothing to do with the fit. They're literally pieces of plastic in your mouth, and the more people that understand that, the better. The age-old saying is true: Dentures are not a replacement for teeth - they are instead a replacement for NO teeth. They will only provide you with esthetics and limited functionality. People get dentures because somewhere, somehow, someone has failed them. I don't mean to discourage anyone, but just to lend a perspective based on some experience with denture patients. The people that generally love their dentures are the people who have been edentulous for years and miss having teeth in their mouths when they smile. The people who are least happy are people who are literally going from having teeth one day, to having their teeth pulled and having a temporary put in. Why is there this difference in emotions between these two groups? To me it's obvious - natural teeth - even if in pain or broken down, have greater biting force. You can chew steak still. Once they are pulled, the patient becomes unhappy that the denture isn't able to do the same thing. Now contrast this with people without teeth - they have already gotten use to soft-diets and giving them dentures can only improve their current situation. To restore some hope - dentures that sit on implants have more stability and allow for more biting force. They won't move around nearly as much, and patient satisfaction is typically much better. They still aren't 100% like natural teeth, but they are a still much better than dentures not supported by implants. Additional positivity - even if you don't get implants, there is still the nice benefit of having your smile back, and feeling good about yourself when you smile. The esthetics of dentures can really change someone's looks and life. You said that when you went in with your natural teeth, they took an impression and made a temporary denture for you to wear the day you had your teeth extracted. We basically make stone models of your mouth, and remove/chop off the teeth from those models and, using that stone cast, create a waxed-up version of dentures that will form to your mouth, and are approximately the same height as your original natural teeth. An impression is taken of the wax-up, and this impression is then filled with acrylic. As you can tell from the process, the fabrication of temporary dentures is an educated shot in the dark. When we trim the teeth off the cast, we smooth the cast to where we think the gums will be after the teeth are removed. It is possible that the gums post-extraction will be slightly different, however, the gums should swell and form to the denture somewhat as well post-extraction. Thus, temporary dentures are, in essence, "good approximations" of where teeth should be and how the bite should be. I have to usually reline a temporary denture to get it to fit adequately before the patient leaves that day, and even with that said, within 3 weeks they are loose again from the bone loss that occurs after teeth are taken out - such that another reline is in order. For those wondering about the healing process with temporary dentures - your gums, as she said, will shrink a lot in the first year you don't have teeth. Your teeth are held in your jaw by the bone. Once the teeth are removed, the bone that held them no longer has a function for being there, and is lost - with most of the bone loss occurring in the first 6 months - 1 year that teeth are pulled. The gums shrink with the bone, because the bone is what supports the gums. People NEED to know this about their teeth. When you have a tooth pulled, you WILL lose some bone in that area, usually somewhere on the order of 8-15mm. I see people writing that their bite isn't where it should be in their temporary dentures. The bite is approximated because of the process as mentioned above. The point of temporary dentures is two fold - to see if you like the esthetics of them enough to have them replicated in the final denture, and also to see how you do with the "approximations" that we figure will give you a comfortable bite. If you don't do well, the temporary dentures can be adjusted to an extent, and the final dentures can be fabricated to a more comfortable bite or better esthetics. I know that was long, but my outlook is that having information is better than not having information, whether the information is what you want to hear or not. Best of luck to everyone, and thanks kalinjax for sharing.
This is an incredible video. I love how you have so much patience with people who are inquiring about getting dentures when there's so many resources available to us all on the subject. I know this video is dated years ago, but I really appreciate the honesty in this video. Great info & great smile. I'm 4 weeks in with temps & it's a great feeling. I had minimal pain. Thank you for your insightful videos, inspired me to get it done
Hi kalinax, thank you so much you are a wealth of information. I just got my wax tryin this morning and I really wasn't that happy with them but I signed off I was so tried of going without teeth. My insurance didn't pay for me to get immediate dentures but I was really ok with that, a lot of pain I didn't have to endure. I guess right now I am really emotional because my appearance is so different I don't look the same and it makes me sad so I had to just cry.
Just an observation: not everyone gets those "immediate", temporary dentures. It depends upon your insurance. I'm on disability and, after they pulled my teeth, they gave me an appointment that was almost 60 days out to get permanent denture. The majority of people get them, but not everyone. And when I finally got my dentures, they hurt terribly. I've struggled to wear them because I went so long without teeth that I learned to eat everything without upper teeth.
You’re a human being and we all have limits. What you’re offering is helpful. I’m trying to understand the difference between a bridge and permanent dentures and still not sure. I guess what I’m trying to figure out how permanent dentures differ from plates and bridges. I lost an implant and had bone loss and now trying to find affordable fix that avoids a plate: but bridge is like $8,000.00 so not able to do that but know I have to do something. Not asking you to solve issue just thankful you supply information.
I have not gotten the chance to view your videos in a long time because I've moved on with my life and dont even think about my denture situation as often. which is a good thing.. Its been 9 months since i got my dentures and you were SOOO kind to me when I was going through it all. So I think you and ask that you not allow anyone to make you feel bad. it's nice that you do but people have to realize you have a life. Your videos alone are above and beyond! thanks
I am so happy you are doing what you do to help women feel good about themselves. You have such a good soul and it shows through. I was once young and beautiful and thin. Now I am 66 and have no teeth because of a lot of health problems and medication. I am finally well enough to go through the process of dentures. I spent so much money on my teeth so I would keep them all my life like my dad did. My mom had dentures forever. I can hardly wait to get my done because I want to let my grandchildren see their grammie smile really wide for them. I want to eat meat or lettuce. It seems weird that I can't chew lettuce but that is just something that I can't eat it right now. My little Olivia asked me once when we were sitting in McDonalds "Grammie Cinda, how to you eat if you don't have teef." She is so dear. I showed her just how I did it by taking super small bites off a burger. You are so right about what women are to look like to make others happy. My husband doesn't care if I am skinny or fat, have teeth or not. He is supportive in everything I do. He has been on the sidelines watching me advance in education and now I am almost done with a Masters in Addictions. I counseled veterans for 15 years at the VA hospital in Amarillo and I am still so interested in helping people. You keep talking and helping people. Because of you I have learned that there are many types of dentures so I have an array to choose from. Again thank you. You help a lot of people.
You explained it superbly. Good luck getting the all on 4. It's a great solution to edentulism. However; 6 implants with fixed bridges or even implant retained overdentures (snap ons) is also a better option than just Complete dentures. 2 implants in the mandible and a snap on overdenture is standard really because your lower denture is destabilized by the tongue, cheeks and the tissues of the floor of mouth. Good luck :) Dr. T
Thanks Beautiful. I'm about 1 month away from getting my permanent top set and was just curious about what to expect from them i watched you when i was about to get the procedure done and after i did and you helped me a lot getting thru this. mainly about how i would look when i had them but after watching you look good and talking so good when you had it done made me very confident about getting my done. thanks again and best of luck to you.
Oh thank you thank you...I'm 57 and already lost nearly all my teeth.so I'm booked in to have dentures made and I've been scared! Your dentures look so good! I'd never have guessed they WERE dentures. You've brightened my day....I can face 8 Jan 2013 with more courage!thank you....I'd love to email you if you have time?
Thank u so very much. It was such a great help. I am 44 yrs of age and due to various reasons I have lost 70 percent of my teeth. I looking for a way to get dentures. Now I can see the way. Loads of love n luck from India.
You are such a lovely lady. You can only do what you can do. Just imagine what happens to people with even bigger accounts. You seem like such a caring and genuine person. Don't feel bad if you can't stay on top of it. People can be too demanding and needy. You don't owe them anything. Your lovely face, story and videos are enough! Peace, Mark
Batman you're gorgeous thank you for all the info I had to listen to it several times I couldn't stop looking at you thank you for the info God bless you
Your videos have helped me a lot. I'm taking my Mum through the process. Much better informed now. Very reassuring. She's having all her teeth extracted this month in hospital.... hospital wasn't 100% on whether they we can get temp dentures (which has stressed her out.. thought of no teeth whatsover)... but I will insist. Also now I know she needs to get a mould before the hospital extracts all her teeth!! I realize everyone is different as per 2nd part of your video here. Don't take on too many other people's problems. You have your own life. These videos so helpful by themselves.
Hi there... i just want to say I’m new to all of this and I’ve watched a lot of your videos mainly for the emotional support which helped me A LOT to get through all of this.. I’m a 27 year old female and my situation is very similar to yours but I do not have the courage to do what you do. I have documented my experience but just have not been able to build the confidence and upload any videos. I would love to be able to support people going through this like you do…
Dear kalinjax, I've had some of the same issues with people as you've pointed out and one day I looked up life coaches and I am very happy I did, as they really helped point me in a much better direction, if you're interested in the names of these wonderful people or their sites I will post them if you like.
Hmm, my procedure was different from yours. My dentist extracted my teeth but waited for my gums to heal (almost 3 weeks, which made me take a leave of absence from work) before he made a mold of my mouth. Then I tried on the wax molds and then my real dentures were made. I am experiencing the same problems you did in my teeth not looking natural and feeling like a foreign object is in my mouth, and I sometimes feel despair over this as I try to talk and eat. I saw my dentist a week after my dentures came in, but my first realign isn't scheduled for another month. I hope that when I go my teeth look as good as yours. I'm worried they won't since we had different procedures. But I'll hold out hope!
People should understand that life just gets in the way sometimes...life does not surround them and what they are asking of you in a split second timing. Dont let people add to your normal daily stress of life. Sometimes life gets harder at times and people should understand. You missing emails was not done on purpose. Take a moment and...breathe..you are on here to help people. Stay strong girl!!
I lost a big part of my confidence with every tooth I lost. Having dentures or partials at a young age is a life changer. Try convening someone who likes you that they aren’t disgusting!!! It can break your sole, your relationship, and your whole self image. Yet, It’s the new you. So learn to cope with it and yes love it unless, try implants if you have like $3,000 per tooth at least at a minimum.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am researching everything I can. You are amazing and you need to concentrate on your family and your beautiful smile above all else. Good luck and God bless you!
I’m in the process of learning to live with dentures. I’m 42 so fairly young but my teeth were terrible and I couldn’t afford $10k in implant work. If someone if watching this and looking for advice I would tell you to save your teeth if you can but to be perfectly honest I’m not hating my new denture life. It’s been a month and I’m already able to eat steak. I’d say I’m about 50% in my biting force and hope to get back around 75% someday. Don’t go with a group like affordable dentures. If you’re gonna get dentures then DO IT RIGHT and see a dentist. My mother used affordable dentures and it’s a meat market and it takes a couple weeks to get an adjustment. Me, I call my dentist and I’m getting an adjustment the same day. So stay away from discount denture places and get the care you need. A great dentist will help you through the process so much easier and make your life way better.
only thing that puts most people off permanent dentures or a good dental treatment is that it tends to cost an arm and a leg. I have been living with 6 half broken teeth for 7 years. I cant eat an apple I cant eat nutts and chewing is a tough work for me. My gums have gone dark purple now. But I cannot afford a decent dental solution. Gotta win a lotto. That being said your teeth look amazing and that does make up a beautiful smile
You look absolutely great! My mother had this done when she was 80 years old.No problems at all.Sounds like you have a great husband that give you support while you had it done.See Ya!
i just got temp.for 4 front teeth..just got them in 4 days ago..got a follow up 2mrw..they are loose and im not liking it at all..but hopefully the dentist will adjust..then im going for permanent once after all this is over..Ur teeth..wow amazing!! they look real..im am scared..just cause its front teeth..i need an adjustment and gum needs to be pulled up more cause its kind of low on one side..and visible when smile..thanx for the video
Your teeth look great. I would never know that you were wearing dentures if you had not said so. My memory of dentures is mainly of my grandparents getting them. They were not very happy with them. I thought that was just how it was for people who got them. I'm so glad to hear that that is not the case for everyone. I've talked to others recently that have them and their experiences have been more like your own. Do you know anything about dentures that are secured by implants? thanks
To avoid shrinking once you have the permanents, you must gently brush your gums, roof of mouth and naturally tongue. But the gums must be brushed every day to keep a good blood flow making the gums firmer and studier and stronger. Hence the dentures fit will be much better, safer and firmer and less movement if there is movement.
yesterday, I had all of my bottom teeth taken out, and the dentist had to grind down some spots, requiring stitches!!! Needless to say I am in a lot of pain :( I can't eat at all...wondering what to eat? by the way, your video here was very helpful, and you have such a big heart. People should and will understand that you have a life, and can't respond to everyone's questions. don't take it personally. Keep up the great advice ! hugs!
first off i have to say you are a beautiful person, inside and out. You do so much in so many places to help people, I am going in in 2 days for my mold and then 2 days later for the temps. Can u please tell me what to ask for in my temps. thx and keep on keepin on.
Time to consolidate the ways your able to communicate if that's still what you'd like to do. Everyone should keep in mind we all have lives and we can only do what we can. Don't let it get you down. No explanations required. Take care.
Your teeth are soooop Beautiful and white! I have to get my extractions in 2 weeks , I am terrified. Thank you for doing this video it has helped me so much! I
cont. I think the "Temps" are optional...ie. You don't have to buy them. I chose to wear them because I did not want to walk around town with gaping holes in my mouth after all the teeth that were pulled, that's all. btw, aside from the bright metal clasps that hooked around my remaining teeth for support, I could smile quite confidently with my $300 "Temps" despite having no molars! I have my Permanents, now, and they look great but I'm still keeping my "Temps" for back-up, just in case...
Started my process for my dentures...have to split my dentures(will be made by Dentures Today) & extractions will be done by another dentist bc of my insurance.. DT will bill primary ins. & another dentist will bill Medicaid so will take me about 4 to 6 wks waiting for prior approval from Medicaid but going to the extraction dentist in the morning, then back to DT for impressions & immediate dentures then extractions of 23 teeth then back to DT for the care of & perm. dentures. ty for everything
How long did all take,Im miserable they said 2 months I wont be able to eat Im so unhappy. The other dentist made a mess out of me when I listen to you, teeth look great
your teeth are beautiful, This is exactly the information i needed, i start my treatment next week. This video as cleared up so much confusion for me, thank you soooooo much
Right. In the "denture world" you would call your dentures either permanent or temporary dentures. I believe the snap in dentures are considered an over-denture or implant retained dentures, whereas something like the all-on-four it's a permanently fixed bridge. A lot of people begin this with temporary dentures that need to be replaced so that's why the set that replaces them is considered permanent:-) But it does make sense to consider implants "permanent" lol.
thnk u awsim info..my bridge cm out and i swallowed it eeeek.. im poor as to but god will bless my finances to get my front top teeth replaced..ur smile is awsim..
..and I still feel as though I have a mouth full of mashed potatoes - on the rare occasion that I try to wear the darned things. I posted on another one of your videos that my upper dentures gave me tremendous, knock-you-to-your-knees pain (at first). By wearing them now and then, that's getting better. If you get unlucky - something to do with the shape of your gums (as in my case -according to my dentist) the pain can be crazy. Glad you're doing so well with yours.
Good job,,, I wish my dentist knew about your video explaining the process as well as the difference between temp and perm dentures. I guess my dentist feels his cattle herding process is more important than educating his clients. Good job, very good explanation about dentures. Except the part at the end. Maybe you delete that part or make it its own topic
So since the post that said you had 4 wks. to go being pregnant-did all go well? girl or boy? And also, is it so that Golpa is your dentist? He's a good dentist to go to? Thanks
Hey, I've been watching as many of your videos on youtube as I can. I just discovered you today about 5pm & now it's like 8:06pm in Ohio. I found you by getting on Denture Living dot com for the Fixodent, they have all sorts of videos posted & you were the one that seemed to answer my questions the best & with great detail, w/ a personal touch I love. I know you are super busy, but can I ask you some quick questions by emailing you? I voted for you on 1-day miracle smile too. How do I msg u?
I go in for mine next Monday. Not going to lie, I am starting to freak out a little. But you have given us so much info and I feel better. You are just awesome. Thank you for all you do!!😊
my dentist said he doesn't do temporary dentures, the ones I will be getting are the permanent dentures. is that normal? he said most dentists recommend the temps because it's more money in their pockets. he said I'll just have to come in to get them relined in 6 months. I always thought you get the temps first, but according to him it's unnecessary.
I have to ask DDS Dentures + Implants Solutions about this again after watching this because I don't like my teeth in my dentures. I got my 26 extractions with the temporary dentures put in same day. it's been 2 weeks 4 days just got my 1st soft liners Friday and I just don't like that the teeth are short & my bite is off I was told I will get my permanent in 8 months & told will have many adjustments during the waiting. I go back in 6 weeks but I can call to be seen in between if needed. BUT I was told those ARE MY TEETH. So I'm SO confused after seeing this and another one where the permanent look SO much better. Were your temporary teeth smaller shorter? And then so the lining it WILL be small to when you get your permanent? I need to ask more questions!! lol I PRAY it'll be like yours. where did you get yours done? Thanks For Sharing your story!!! And for your help!!
+Kalinjax where did you get your permanent set of dentures? I am recently looking into the all on 4 vs. dentures and have a ton of questions. I know you are probably a busy lady but if you could take a moment and speak with me somehow that would be amazing. I have some serious questions and have no one else to ask. I trust you and your videos are amazing. I'm addicted to the education from them! lol. Please get back to me if possible...
your perm-dentures look amazing: truly the best I've seen thus far.
My mother has had her dentures for over 50 years that she originally got the day she got her real ones pulled. They never got any reline at all. She said when she got them she put them in and left them in except to clean them she never had trouble at all. I getting 11 remaining teeth pulled and getting immediate dentures and I sure praying I have my mom's luck adjusting well to dentures
My grandma did too, but she had her real bottoms. I think that's why. It's crazy, just bc her front teeth were bucked they advised her to rip out her whole top arch, and put a denture in the early 50's...but she has that thing till the day she died lol. Wild. How did your go?
I was a Dental Hygienist for 25 years and I would never have guessed those teeth are not real, fabulous smile. I'm happy for you!
and it was upsetting to see you in this video… I can’t even imagine how many people you’ve helped. I didn’t see the comment but don’t let one comment get you down. You’ve been such an inspiration. You are amazing. Keep up the good work ;)
I know that this is 4 years later now, but it breaks my heart to see you apologise and being upset. Stop it sweetheart!!!!! 💜💜 You are the most generous beautiful hearted person. You give and give way above and beyond the call of duty. You deserve a damned medal ma'm!! 😊😚💜💜 You have helped me out of the depths of lost depression, paralysing fear and anxiety and loneliness. You are my "go to girl" for support ++++. Thank you × a million. 😊😚😚😚 Sending an OS hug from Australia. 🙇♀️💞💖
So many blessings to you, dear one. NEVER feel like you are doing an inadequate job; you do MORE than you know to help others. And you are so honest, un-shameful, and out in front. I'm going thru this at the age of 67, had great shame, and you have helped me move forward in ways you'll never know. And, PS, you are so totally beautiful, and I am so happy you have a loving husband and a lovely family!
Finding your videos has been the absolute best thing in the world for me. I'm 29 years old, never on drugs, not a drinker, obviously (lol) do not have an eating disorder, but I was so afraid to go and get my teeth pulled and get dentures. I'm an indie author, so my mug all over the place in PR photos and it would be nice to smile in them from now on. Thank you so much for the courage I needed! You're a beautiful person, inside and out! :D
Thank you so much for all your inspiration. I was so scared of the whole journey. I'm so excited I got my dentures Friday. I cried to finally see a beautiful smile. No chipped teeth no more gaps no more toothache. You have no idea much you've helped. And praise God for helping me thru the pain hugs

Confirmation here. I'm someone you helped a whole lot, and you definitely DO take very good care of your subbers. Nope, you sure don't cut and paste, you DO get personal, and we thank you for when you can. For those of us you've helped, we thank you for your info and your involvement. You're patient with us, we get ya!
Thank you very much for help us newbies, E-day, was one month ago tomorrow. It take a ton of courage to go public like you have!!
Thank you so much...You are so WONDERFUL and GORGEOUS, too. I'm in the process getting Implants. My process started 2009 and I still have IMMEDIATES on top and implants on bottom. SLOW PROCESS because COSTLY. Anyway, hope you WIN for your IMPLANTS. I voted for you. I hope people understand YOU ARE JUST ONE PERSON! You definitely CARE! I would be so proud to have you as my Daughter. I'm a 66 Year Old woman, and I've been very informed by you. Thank you for being such a giving person!
You are doing a great job and great service to all who are struggling with these topics. Do the best that you can and let it go at the end of the day. People will complain no matter what you do...just take care of yourself and your family. Those of us who have families know how much time that takes day to day. Good job again!
Kristi, if anyone leaves you a message about "you don't respond" "you really don't care" they obviously have NOT WATCHED your videos from beginning and in order = 3 kids, just married, special needs, Drs appts. COME ON PEOPLE.
You discuss all of that in many videos. People who say stuff like that to you are "selfish". I know they want a shoulder to lean on, but geez, your not the only one out there with info.
You are however, the most personal, most honest, pretty to look at and funny to boot!
I know this video was a long time ago, but I'm sure it still happens.
I was SHOCKED when you responded to me! I was grateful and felt special as well. So you take your sweet time responding to people.

LadyA Said I totally agree!!! There are alot of sad and lonely people in the world.
Janet Jordan You put that perfectly, Janet! Asking Kristi to take her teeth out....??? Are they mentally deranged?? If she'd had a mastectomy, would they ask her to take her shirt off?? 😲 Actually, they probably would. 😈 Nasty , little, cruel minded people. Lonely people can be very kind, but sad.These types just have no life of their own, so they jealously try to suck the life out of other people. Kristi is the most inspiring , generous young woman I've ever seen and had the luck to find on U tube. 💜💜💜
Pam F. My dentist is the ONLY person to see me without my dentures! Even my Husband hasn’t! When I brush my teeth, I get low with the sink so my mouth is covered! There’s not enough money on the planet that anyone could pay me to get on RUclips without any teeth!! I’m 60 years old and do my best to look good at all times.
Thank you for being so open, and sharing your experiences with dentures. You have changed my outlook on dentures, before I was hoarding and getting disheartened about the cost of implants. Thank you
Thank you! Glad to help!
If there's anything people should get from your videos is that you are a real person with real challenges. You've helped countless people simply by being you. If others can't understand that you don't have the ability to reply to everyone on the world wide web, then they just don't get it. I'm one of the thousands you've inspired and can't thank you enough. Thank you for the smile and the joy that goes along with it! : )
Gosh people leave this poor woman alone. She's not an expert like she says. She's got enough going on. Don't bombard her. You do enough kalinjax I had to deal with losing all my teeth from cancer and I see someone young like me with dentures and I don't feel bad. I love your videos. This is only time I will comment to you to say you are doing a great job. But never feel bad if you can't answer every body. Your family is first. You've done enough. Helped so many people. Ignore any negative comments. And thank you. You inspire many. God bless you!
They absolutely can, given you have enough bone to support the implants. Dr. Golpa (the dentist who did my implants) said that he's put implants in patients in their 90's. Of course your health and other factors unique to yourself would come into play but age alone wouldn't determine if you were a candidate or not. Hope that helps!
Girl, look as you said you have a personal life too. There is no way you can do it all. Im two in past my 23 teeth extraxtion and I hate getting use to having this stuff in your mouth. But youve helped answer alot questions I had..so just chill your doing a good deed!😊
Thank you for being so brave and open about your procedure. You are such a beautiful woman and I am sure it was not easy for you to have gone through life with your teeth the way they were. Your video documentary was very helpful for those of us who have yet to go through your procedure. A beautiful smile can give you so much confidence. Thank you for sharing.
I'm a dental student, set to graduate soon. Anyways, I'm on here to hear what patients are saying about their treatment, and it's interesting to see how denture patients respond. Let me lend another perspective. I love helping patients, but hate making dentures because of patient expectations vs. reality. I have found that a lot of people do not understand that dentures only have 10% of the biting force functionality that natural teeth do. They expect, as you say, to receive dentures and have them function like natural teeth or implants. It's disheartening to see a denture get delivered, have a patient back for a follow-up appointment, only to hear them say those dreaded words, "I hate my dentures". And it has nothing to do with the fit. They're literally pieces of plastic in your mouth, and the more people that understand that, the better. The age-old saying is true: Dentures are not a replacement for teeth - they are instead a replacement for NO teeth. They will only provide you with esthetics and limited functionality. People get dentures because somewhere, somehow, someone has failed them. I don't mean to discourage anyone, but just to lend a perspective based on some experience with denture patients. The people that generally love their dentures are the people who have been edentulous for years and miss having teeth in their mouths when they smile. The people who are least happy are people who are literally going from having teeth one day, to having their teeth pulled and having a temporary put in. Why is there this difference in emotions between these two groups? To me it's obvious - natural teeth - even if in pain or broken down, have greater biting force. You can chew steak still. Once they are pulled, the patient becomes unhappy that the denture isn't able to do the same thing. Now contrast this with people without teeth - they have already gotten use to soft-diets and giving them dentures can only improve their current situation. To restore some hope - dentures that sit on implants have more stability and allow for more biting force. They won't move around nearly as much, and patient satisfaction is typically much better. They still aren't 100% like natural teeth, but they are a still much better than dentures not supported by implants. Additional positivity - even if you don't get implants, there is still the nice benefit of having your smile back, and feeling good about yourself when you smile. The esthetics of dentures can really change someone's looks and life.
You said that when you went in with your natural teeth, they took an impression and made a temporary denture for you to wear the day you had your teeth extracted. We basically make stone models of your mouth, and remove/chop off the teeth from those models and, using that stone cast, create a waxed-up version of dentures that will form to your mouth, and are approximately the same height as your original natural teeth. An impression is taken of the wax-up, and this impression is then filled with acrylic. As you can tell from the process, the fabrication of temporary dentures is an educated shot in the dark. When we trim the teeth off the cast, we smooth the cast to where we think the gums will be after the teeth are removed. It is possible that the gums post-extraction will be slightly different, however, the gums should swell and form to the denture somewhat as well post-extraction. Thus, temporary dentures are, in essence, "good approximations" of where teeth should be and how the bite should be. I have to usually reline a temporary denture to get it to fit adequately before the patient leaves that day, and even with that said, within 3 weeks they are loose again from the bone loss that occurs after teeth are taken out - such that another reline is in order.
For those wondering about the healing process with temporary dentures - your gums, as she said, will shrink a lot in the first year you don't have teeth. Your teeth are held in your jaw by the bone. Once the teeth are removed, the bone that held them no longer has a function for being there, and is lost - with most of the bone loss occurring in the first 6 months - 1 year that teeth are pulled. The gums shrink with the bone, because the bone is what supports the gums. People NEED to know this about their teeth. When you have a tooth pulled, you WILL lose some bone in that area, usually somewhere on the order of 8-15mm.
I see people writing that their bite isn't where it should be in their temporary dentures. The bite is approximated because of the process as mentioned above. The point of temporary dentures is two fold - to see if you like the esthetics of them enough to have them replicated in the final denture, and also to see how you do with the "approximations" that we figure will give you a comfortable bite. If you don't do well, the temporary dentures can be adjusted to an extent, and the final dentures can be fabricated to a more comfortable bite or better esthetics.
I know that was long, but my outlook is that having information is better than not having information, whether the information is what you want to hear or not. Best of luck to everyone, and thanks kalinjax for sharing.
garrettbuck512 thank you
Great information thank you so much!!
Thank You, for the honesty.
garrettbuck512 a
SO informative and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to explain in-depth what and how the process works.
This is an incredible video. I love how you have so much patience with people who are inquiring about getting dentures when there's so many resources available to us all on the subject. I know this video is dated years ago, but I really appreciate the honesty in this video. Great info & great smile. I'm 4 weeks in with temps & it's a great feeling. I had minimal pain. Thank you for your insightful videos, inspired me to get it done
You have made me feel a lot better over my own upcoming denture process.. I have my first dr appointment with my oral surgeon later today.
Hi kalinax, thank you so much you are a wealth of information. I just got my wax tryin this morning and I really wasn't that happy with them but I signed off I was so tried of going without teeth. My insurance didn't pay for me to get immediate dentures but I was really ok with that, a lot of pain I didn't have to endure. I guess right now I am really emotional because my appearance is so different I don't look the same and it makes me sad so I had to just cry.
Just an observation: not everyone gets those "immediate", temporary dentures. It depends upon your insurance. I'm on disability and, after they pulled my teeth, they gave me an appointment that was almost 60 days out to get permanent denture. The majority of people get them, but not everyone. And when I finally got my dentures, they hurt terribly. I've struggled to wear them because I went so long without teeth that I learned to eat everything without upper teeth.
Getting impressions done tomorrow and have not tried to find out anything about options etc... Thank you for this terrific video.
You’re a human being and we all have limits. What you’re offering is helpful. I’m trying to understand the difference between a bridge and permanent dentures and still not sure. I guess what I’m trying to figure out how permanent dentures differ from plates and bridges. I lost an implant and had bone loss and now trying to find affordable fix that avoids a plate: but bridge is like $8,000.00 so not able to do that but know I have to do something. Not asking you to solve issue just thankful you supply information.
I have not gotten the chance to view your videos in a long time because I've moved on with my life and dont even think about my denture situation as often. which is a good thing.. Its been 9 months since i got my dentures and you were SOOO kind to me when I was going through it all. So I think you and ask that you not allow anyone to make you feel bad. it's nice that you do but people have to realize you have a life. Your videos alone are above and beyond! thanks
Thank you! For being supportive it was helpful and appreciated
I am so happy you are doing what you do to help women feel good about themselves. You have such a good soul and it shows through. I was once young and beautiful and thin. Now I am 66 and have no teeth because of a lot of health problems and medication. I am finally well enough to go through the process of dentures. I spent so much money on my teeth so I would keep them all my life like my dad did. My mom had dentures forever. I can hardly wait to get my done because I want to let my grandchildren see their grammie smile really wide for them. I want to eat meat or lettuce. It seems weird that I can't chew lettuce but that is just something that I can't eat it right now. My little Olivia asked me once when we were sitting in McDonalds "Grammie Cinda, how to you eat if you don't have teef." She is so dear. I showed her just how I did it by taking super small bites off a burger. You are so right about what women are to look like to make others happy. My husband doesn't care if I am skinny or fat, have teeth or not. He is supportive in everything I do. He has been on the sidelines watching me advance in education and now I am almost done with a Masters in Addictions. I counseled veterans for 15 years at the VA hospital in Amarillo and I am still so interested in helping people. You keep talking and helping people. Because of you I have learned that there are many types of dentures so I have an array to choose from. Again thank you. You help a lot of people.
What makes you think she's talking only to women?
You explained it superbly. Good luck getting the all on 4. It's a great solution to edentulism. However; 6 implants with fixed bridges or even implant retained overdentures (snap ons) is also a better option than just Complete dentures. 2 implants in the mandible and a snap on overdenture is standard really because your lower denture is destabilized by the tongue, cheeks and the tissues of the floor of mouth. Good luck :)
Dr. T
Thanks Beautiful. I'm about 1 month away from getting my permanent top set and was just curious about what to expect from them i watched you when i was about to get the procedure done and after i did and you helped me a lot getting thru this. mainly about how i would look when i had them but after watching you look good and talking so good when you had it done made me very confident about getting my done. thanks again and best of luck to you.
Oh thank you thank you...I'm 57 and already lost nearly all my teeth.so I'm booked in to have dentures made and I've been scared! Your dentures look so good! I'd never have guessed they WERE dentures. You've brightened my day....I can face 8 Jan 2013 with more courage!thank you....I'd love to email you if you have time?
Thank u so very much. It was such a great help. I am 44 yrs of age and due to various reasons I have lost 70 percent of my teeth. I looking for a way to get dentures. Now I can see the way. Loads of love n luck from India.
I got PW4 which is a bleached shade. It's the second to brightest shade available.
You are a brave young lady and your new permanent teeth looks fantastic, I have been watching you for a good amount of time before I had mine pulled.
You are such a lovely lady. You can only do what you can do. Just imagine what happens to people with even bigger accounts. You seem like such a caring and genuine person. Don't feel bad if you can't stay on top of it. People can be too demanding and needy. You don't owe them anything. Your lovely face, story and videos are enough! Peace, Mark
Batman you're gorgeous thank you for all the info I had to listen to it several times I couldn't stop looking at you thank you for the info God bless you
Your videos have helped me a lot. I'm taking my Mum through the process. Much better informed now. Very reassuring. She's having all her teeth extracted this month in hospital.... hospital wasn't 100% on whether they we can get temp dentures (which has stressed her out.. thought of no teeth whatsover)... but I will insist. Also now I know she needs to get a mould before the hospital extracts all her teeth!! I realize everyone is different as per 2nd part of your video here. Don't take on too many other people's problems. You have your own life. These videos so helpful by themselves.
Hi there... i just want to say I’m new to all of this and I’ve watched a lot of your videos mainly for the emotional support which helped me A LOT to get through all of this.. I’m a 27 year old female and my situation is very similar to yours but I do not have the courage to do what you do. I have documented my experience but just have not been able to build the confidence and upload any videos. I would love to be able to support people going through this like you do…
Dear kalinjax, I've had some of the same issues with people as you've pointed out and one day I looked up life coaches and I am very happy I did, as they really helped point me in a much better direction, if you're interested in the names of these wonderful people or their sites I will post them if you like.
I am so glad to hear someone say that it is okay and normal to not be able to eat the night you come home with dentures, or the week after either.
thank you ! you have told me everything i needed to know ! they didn;t even give me a new permanent upper they told me the temp was all i got !!
my teeth were extracted via mountain bike. being 19 with dentures is tough stuff.
jon taylor ... what a trooper you are. To experience such an awful thing and to be able to joke about it. So sweet!
Oh no
Hmm, my procedure was different from yours. My dentist extracted my teeth but waited for my gums to heal (almost 3 weeks, which made me take a leave of absence from work) before he made a mold of my mouth. Then I tried on the wax molds and then my real dentures were made. I am experiencing the same problems you did in my teeth not looking natural and feeling like a foreign object is in my mouth, and I sometimes feel despair over this as I try to talk and eat. I saw my dentist a week after my dentures came in, but my first realign isn't scheduled for another month. I hope that when I go my teeth look as good as yours. I'm worried they won't since we had different procedures. But I'll hold out hope!
People should understand that life just gets in the way sometimes...life does not surround them and what they are asking of you in a split second timing. Dont let people add to your normal daily stress of life. Sometimes life gets harder at times and people should understand. You missing emails was not done on purpose. Take a moment and...breathe..you are on here to help people. Stay strong girl!!
I lost a big part of my confidence with every tooth I lost.
Having dentures or partials at a young age is a life changer.
Try convening someone who likes you that they aren’t disgusting!!!
It can break your sole, your relationship, and your whole self image.
Yet,
It’s the new you. So learn to cope with it and yes love it unless, try implants if you have like $3,000 per tooth at least at a minimum.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am researching everything I can. You are amazing and you need to concentrate on your family and your beautiful smile above all else. Good luck and God bless you!
I want you to know that you have nothing to feel guilty about...you are terrific, and help a lot of people.
thanks for your videos! I am on Day 14 Denture Adventure and things are finally looking up but it is sure nice to see how others made it thru.
I’m in the process of learning to live with dentures. I’m 42 so fairly young but my teeth were terrible and I couldn’t afford $10k in implant work. If someone if watching this and looking for advice I would tell you to save your teeth if you can but to be perfectly honest I’m not hating my new denture life. It’s been a month and I’m already able to eat steak. I’d say I’m about 50% in my biting force and hope to get back around 75% someday. Don’t go with a group like affordable dentures. If you’re gonna get dentures then DO IT RIGHT and see a dentist. My mother used affordable dentures and it’s a meat market and it takes a couple weeks to get an adjustment. Me, I call my dentist and I’m getting an adjustment the same day. So stay away from discount denture places and get the care you need. A great dentist will help you through the process so much easier and make your life way better.
only thing that puts most people off permanent dentures or a good dental treatment is that it tends to cost an arm and a leg. I have been living with 6 half broken teeth for 7 years. I cant eat an apple I cant eat nutts and chewing is a tough work for me. My gums have gone dark purple now. But I cannot afford a decent dental solution. Gotta win a lotto. That being said your teeth look amazing and that does make up a beautiful smile
Very interesting!! Proud of you for being bold and honest..
You look absolutely great! My mother had this done when she was 80 years old.No problems at all.Sounds like you have a great husband that give you support while you had it done.See Ya!
What brand/kind of Dentures are you waring in this video and what color? Thank you for sharing your experience and your time.
You are so informative and also one of the most attractive girls around.Thanks for helping us.
P.S. Extremely Pretty smile!
TYVM! The counseling You are providing is great!
i just got temp.for 4 front teeth..just got them in 4 days ago..got a follow up 2mrw..they are loose and im not liking it at all..but hopefully the dentist will adjust..then im going for permanent once after all this is over..Ur teeth..wow amazing!! they look real..im am scared..just cause its front teeth..i need an adjustment and gum needs to be pulled up more cause its kind of low on one side..and visible when smile..thanx for the video
You look amazing! I can’t even tell they’re not your real teeth. I’m glad you were able to get them.
Your teeth look great. I would never know that you were wearing dentures if you had not said so.
My memory of dentures is mainly of my grandparents getting them. They were not very happy with them. I thought that was just how it was for people who got them. I'm so glad to hear that that is not the case for everyone. I've talked to others recently that have them and their experiences have been more like your own.
Do you know anything about dentures that are secured by implants?
thanks
To avoid shrinking once you have the permanents, you must gently brush your gums, roof of mouth and naturally tongue. But the gums must be brushed every day to keep a good blood flow making the gums firmer and studier and stronger. Hence the dentures fit will be much better, safer and firmer and less movement if there is movement.
your amazing, you help so many people understand something so scary and you are gorgeous
yesterday, I had all of my bottom teeth taken out, and the dentist had to grind down some spots, requiring stitches!!! Needless to say I am in a lot of pain :( I can't eat at all...wondering what to eat? by the way, your video here was very helpful, and you have such a big heart. People should and will understand that you have a life, and can't respond to everyone's questions. don't take it personally. Keep up the great advice ! hugs!
Deborah how are u doing now?
first off i have to say you are a beautiful person, inside and out. You do so much in so many places to help people, I am going in in 2 days for my mold and then 2 days later for the temps. Can u please tell me what to ask for in my temps. thx and keep on keepin on.
So helpful. Thank you for taking the time out. God bless you
Time to consolidate the ways your able to communicate if that's still what you'd like to do. Everyone should keep in mind we all have lives and we can only do what we can. Don't let it get you down. No explanations required. Take care.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it's very helpful, thank you again.
Thank you for being brave and making this video
thank you for clearing this up for me. i just got this done two days ago and have the temps on.
Your teeth are soooop Beautiful and white! I have to get my extractions in 2 weeks , I am terrified. Thank you for doing this video it has helped me so much! I
cont. I think the "Temps" are optional...ie. You don't have to buy them. I chose to wear them because I did not want to walk around town with gaping holes in my mouth after all the teeth that were pulled, that's all. btw, aside from the bright metal clasps that hooked around my remaining teeth for support, I could smile quite confidently with my $300 "Temps" despite having no molars! I have my Permanents, now, and they look great but I'm still keeping my "Temps" for back-up, just in case...
you are so sweet, thank you for being so open
I'm pregnant.....4 weeks to go..... anything can send me over the edge these days:-) LOL. No worries! Hope everything goes well for your mom!
I am soon going to be going to the dentist and getting my impressions done for a full upper immediate denture I'm getting all my uppers removed
Started my process for my dentures...have to split my dentures(will be made by Dentures Today) & extractions will be done by another dentist bc of my insurance.. DT will bill primary ins. & another dentist will bill Medicaid so will take me about 4 to 6 wks waiting for prior approval from Medicaid but going to the extraction dentist in the morning, then back to DT for impressions & immediate dentures then extractions of 23 teeth then back to DT for the care of & perm. dentures. ty for everything
Thank you! So glad the videos are helpful:-) I hope you have the smile you want/deserve very soon!
How long did all take,Im miserable they said 2 months I wont be able to eat Im so unhappy. The other dentist made a mess out of me when I listen to you, teeth look great
your teeth are beautiful, This is exactly the information i needed, i start my treatment next week. This video as cleared up so much confusion for me, thank you soooooo much
Right. In the "denture world" you would call your dentures either permanent or temporary dentures. I believe the snap in dentures are considered an over-denture or implant retained dentures, whereas something like the all-on-four it's a permanently fixed bridge. A lot of people begin this with temporary dentures that need to be replaced so that's why the set that replaces them is considered permanent:-) But it does make sense to consider implants "permanent" lol.
I see the dentist you used is a few hours from me. Where I am coast doesn’t have a good reputation. I would be willing to drive a bit. 🌺
Bless your heart,
thnk u awsim info..my bridge cm out and i swallowed it eeeek.. im poor as to but god will bless my finances to get my front top teeth replaced..ur smile is awsim..
..and I still feel as though I have a mouth full of mashed potatoes - on the rare occasion that I try to wear the darned things. I posted on another one of your videos that my upper dentures gave me tremendous, knock-you-to-your-knees pain (at first). By wearing them now and then, that's getting better. If you get unlucky - something to do with the shape of your gums (as in my case -according to my dentist) the pain can be crazy. Glad you're doing so well with yours.
Good job,,, I wish my dentist knew about your video explaining the process as well as the difference between temp and perm dentures. I guess my dentist feels his cattle herding process is more important than educating his clients. Good job, very good explanation about dentures. Except the part at the end. Maybe you delete that part or make it its own topic
Thank you very much! Best wishes to you and your family!
I was trying to check out your teeth but couldn't get past your beautiful eyes
Spreading yourself to thin. Bless you and your family 🙏👍⭕❌
So since the post that said you had 4 wks. to go being pregnant-did all go well? girl or boy? And also, is it so that Golpa is your dentist? He's a good dentist to go to? Thanks
Hey, I've been watching as many of your videos on youtube as I can. I just discovered you today about 5pm & now it's like 8:06pm in Ohio. I found you by getting on Denture Living dot com for the Fixodent, they have all sorts of videos posted & you were the one that seemed to answer my questions the best & with great detail, w/ a personal touch I love. I know you are super busy, but can I ask you some quick questions by emailing you? I voted for you on 1-day miracle smile too. How do I msg u?
I go in for mine next Monday. Not going to lie, I am starting to freak out a little. But you have given us so much info and I feel better. You are just awesome. Thank you for all you do!!😊
You are so pretty!
Would a girl date me if receive dentures?
my dentist said he doesn't do temporary dentures, the ones I will be getting are the permanent dentures. is that normal? he said most dentists recommend the temps because it's more money in their pockets. he said I'll just have to come in to get them relined in 6 months. I always thought you get the temps first, but according to him it's unnecessary.
I have to ask DDS Dentures + Implants Solutions about this again after watching this because I don't like my teeth in my dentures. I got my 26 extractions with the temporary dentures put in same day. it's been 2 weeks 4 days just got my 1st soft liners Friday and I just don't like that the teeth are short & my bite is off I was told I will get my permanent in 8 months & told will have many adjustments during the waiting. I go back in 6 weeks but I can call to be seen in between if needed. BUT I was told those ARE MY TEETH. So I'm SO confused after seeing this and another one where the permanent look SO much better. Were your temporary teeth smaller shorter? And then so the lining it WILL be small to when you get your permanent? I need to ask more questions!! lol I PRAY it'll be like yours. where did you get yours done? Thanks For Sharing your story!!! And for your help!!
i never knew thanks for the info
you look fabulous, wish I lived near your dentist!
Thanks so Much....Signed, Nervous and Next
+Kalinjax where did you get your permanent set of dentures? I am recently looking into the all on 4 vs. dentures and have a ton of questions. I know you are probably a busy lady but if you could take a moment and speak with me somehow that would be amazing. I have some serious questions and have no one else to ask. I trust you and your videos are amazing. I'm addicted to the education from them! lol. Please get back to me if possible...
Thank you for your video.
How much did the temporary cost you? How about permanent one.
Please let me know about delux.
Thanks.
I LOVE U! NO RESPONSE NEEDED!
You are one beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Please keep up the good work and God bless you.
But you're so beautiful and inspiring
