I recently had my remaining 5 upper teeth removed and had 2 implants put in. I'm having a lot of trouble with the fit of the denture because the part that fits on the roof of my mouth makes me gag and the part that my upper lip covers is way to thick. Also my dentist can't get a proper fit. I can't talk very well and can't eat anything with them in. I know in a couple months they will snap onto the implants but will that solve all of the problems i;m having now?
