About Me

I'm Cheyenne. I'm 23 years old with a full set of dentures. This is my journey, these are my experiences. I hope to help those of you struggling with the same situation, and also help myself cope with this whole process. I also make vlogs on my youtube channel about my denture experience. It's not easy to be so young going through such a difficult situation, but it's who I am and I am learning to love and accept myself for who I am now.

1 month & 2 weeks after extractions & lower denture ~ UPDATE!

To all of my followers and subscribers I'm sorry I haven't updated lately. There has been alot going on in my life, one of my friends passed away and my grandmother has been to the hospital and I've been busy, lots of things have happened that don't usually. But I figured it was time to update since I've got so many messages on my facebook and comments asking about how I was doing. I can't thank you all enough for being so supportive and asking about me. I am so thankful.

So its been about a month and two weeks since I got my lower denture. As you all know, it is lopsided and the dentist took off half of one side of it and sawed off part of the tooth as well. (I posted pictures in my last blog post) and it most definitely doesn't fit. I got another soft reline two or three weeks ago and it is completely loose now and does not fit. I have to go back Monday for another adjustment. But my gums feel really bony. There's 3 or 4 spots that just stick out like there's a bone fragment underneath and one of those lumpy spots just started showing a bone fragment which hurts like hell. It's extremely painful to chew. I've been keeping my dentures out as much as I can because it doesn't hurt as bad when they're out. But the bone fragment working out feels really big, not sure if it actually is cause the whole thing hasn't come out yet but it's working it's way out slowly. It just takes sooo long for them to work out and it's really hard to deal with because it's so painful. But the denture is an absolute mess. I've seen other people's dentures and they look normal, same size on both sides. They haven't cut some of their teeth off, the dentures fit the person. And I just don't understand why I'm having so much trouble. I have tried telling the dentist about this and telling him and it doesn't look right or feel right in my mouth and he always come up with some excuse for why it's like that. Oh well the shape of your gums made it have to be that way.... NO. My gums are the same size on both sides they are not misshapen to the point that half the denture should be sawed off. It's just ridiculous. I'm so sick of dealing with this crap. I am holding back my payments until he makes it right or if he chooses not to then I may have to get a lawyer involved. Which I really don't want to do. But this isn't right and everyone knows it. The dentist made a mistake and he should fix it without charging me. Bottom line.

So basically that's the update as of lately. I planned on making a video but I haven't had the time with everything going on. But within this week I will make a video. After I go back to the dentist and get my reline and have a few more things to talk about. For now, things are not so great. I literally have to put fixodent in 2-3 times a day. Normally you use it once a day, right? It can't be good to be using that much zinc in your mouth daily. So I need to get this fixed so it fits and doesn't cause so many problems. Not to mention the denture is actually shaped messed up as well. It is not the shape of my gums. The back of the denture comes upward, my gums aren't in line with it. The size of the denture makes my bottom lip jut out and it gets in the way of everything, the way I talk, kissing, everything. It's not okay. So I'm hoping me and the dentist can come to some aggreement and he will fix it/make me a new one. I will not keep this crappy denture for a year I just can't. It's too uncomfortable.

But anyways, that's my update. I don't want to make this too long. But I wanted to give you guys an idea of how I was doing and how I'm feeling about everything as of late. Again, I can't thank you all enough for supporting me and following my blog and youtube and facebook. It really makes me happy to know I have people supporting me who know what I'm going through or are just there for me even if they aren't. It helps alot. So thank you all so much.

Much Love. <3

This is not what a denture is supposed to look like...

I am VERY upset at this point. It has been 3 weeks since my extractions and getting my immediate lower denture. And since getting the adjustment, my dentist has basically fucked up my denture. From the time I got it it was already not right, it didn't fit on my gums right, it raised up in the back where it was lifted up not sitting on my gums, so I've tried to just deal and let everything heal and see how it goes. Well I told the dentist last week that it was uneven and he was extremely rude to me about it. Its almost like he doesn't want to answer for the mistakes he has made with this denture. I paid $900 for this lower denture. And look at it... They did a soft reline yesterday and it was popping out of my mouth immediately after the reline. It does not fit. Not to mention look at the way the left side of it is completely dropped off. They cut off some of the back tooth! Its completely uneven! I am so upset. I try to put fixodent in and it hurts its very uncomfortable. The soft reline helped make the bony sore spots go away but it still just won't fit at all. Even when they adjust it, it doesn't fit. I'm getting to the point that I'm either going to report them or go get a second opinion from another dentist. As I said before dentures are not this dentists speciality. I feel like I've not got good treatment and this denture looks like shit and feels like shit. This is just a small update, I'm going to make a video about it later when I get time but I'm very upset about this and I had to get it out there. I will make a video explaining things in more detail and insert the pictures in the video. I WILL NOT take my teeth out in any video so please do not ask me to do that. I will show my dentures to get advice on what I should do. So all the pervs, go on somewhere this is serious business. Okay I'm done with my rant. But seriously, what do you think? Am I getting the right treatment? Does that look like what a lower denture should look like? I honestly want my money back so I can go get a set from somewhere else that will actually take care of me and CARE ABOUT ME. I'm done with this dentist. Ughhhhh.
