I opted not to get the temporary ones because you still have to get
them refitted when the swelling goes down. Also this is Medicaid and
just finding a dentist who will do dentures at all is like . . .
um . . . pulling teeth!

Also there were 20+ teeth (none really totally healthy) left and the
"before" impressions would not have afforded a good fit anyway. The
surgeon took out roots and some bond - ALL of my gums are full of
"self dissolving" (HAH!) stitches.
