I have a question for the ones that have the all on 4 or all on 6……is there a gap between your real gum line and the dental teeth gum line? I’m assuming the teeth have a fake gum line…….doesn’t this feel weird? Is it noticeable? Was it hard to adjust? I don’t know why but I just cringe thinking about it. I’m getting my teeth June 29 and starting to have doubts about it…..

Yes there is, you need to be able to clean around your implants. Nope, it doesn’t feel weird and it’s not noticeable ❤️ they reduce your bone during surgery so there’s plenty of room for the bridges.
Are you getting temporary or permanents?
Carrie P. I am getting permanents. They are doing it all in one day. I’m nervous about that too. Seems so risky.😬
Melissa M. no this is normal with all on 4
Yes, I think they try to put them as high up as they are able, but you dont feel the gum line, unless you’re trying to. there is some bulk behind your teeth, but you adjust and get used to all of it, nothing that’s going to really bother you, maybe at first, but I dont even notice any of it anymore. I would ask though if you’re worried about it, mine turned out fine, but I’ve seen other people on here who have had horrible gum lines, so just make sure you trust your doctor.
I have a tiny mouth and the thickness of the top on my soft palate drives me crazy which is why I’m going to porcelain on zirconium which is thinner on the roof of the mouth than acrylic. The bottoms are fine. There’s a line and a thin gap but it’s smooth and you get used to it. You need to clean under them with the waterpik anyway
Julia G. you don’t have all on 4 or 6 with a palate, right?
Jacquie M. I have all on 5
Jacquie M. my tongue is at the back edge of the top plate
Julia G. oh I haven’t seen an upper that far back – interesting! Yeah that would definitely bother me!
Jacquie M. it’s a four month temporary. The new ones will be much better but I’m glad to be able to eat
Jacquie M. I didn’t think the snap in dentures had a pallet on them 🤔
Debbie S. it’s not a snap in. It’s screwed to implants
Julia G. oh ok sorry I misunderstood
Julia G. I have a very small mouth too so that is really good to know.
Melissa M. ask them to use pediatric trays for your castings! The full size ones are way too big
Melissa M. also, they came out with small mouth implants after I had mine done and I wish they’d been an option for me. I’d ask if I had it to do now
Thank you!
I hate having fake gum in my mouth because it makes me unable to eat sticky food or chew gum.
Pop ll pop uiii
Most people have fake gum, but not all. (I don’t)
That looks like a screwed in denture to me!!
Dylan M. hey Dylan, i was trying to find that pic you posted of your Hybridge top and bottom from inside your mouth. The upper doesn’t look like the one Julia posted above does it? there’s nothing going back onto the palate is there? (I get my lower perm placed next week- upper is still a ways out due to all my bone grafting fun…lol)
Jacquie M. Hope this helps answer the question. Yes there is a small Gap between your natural gums and the prosthetic.
You get what you pay for when it comes to quality and appearance👍
Remember these are forever. ☺️😁
Dylan M. definitely! yours look great, makes me excited for my finals.
i can’t wait to be done! lol
Jacquie M. what did they use for your bone graft
Ingrid Z. cadaver bone.
Jacquie M. that zombie emoji made me lololol
I can’t wait to get my finals. I don’t expect them to have the same palate plate at all as needed by the acrylics.
