See you dentist: Hi Billy! Your denture should start feeling better after a week or so. It's not uncommon for a denture to be adjusted multiple times after you have had your teeth out. The bone and gum tissue will eventually heal and shrink. At this point you will need to relign the denture so it fits your mouth properly. Usually a few months after receiving the denture. Best of luck!

Reevaluation: Return to dentist. Dentures may need adjustment. You may have infection that needs medication. May be an oral hygiene problem. Let your Dentist help you.
