Denture filing
Hi,
My father paid ₹ 20000 to dentist for his dentures and now his dentures are bit in not in his face shape,means face look bit swollen. As it would be a normal bcoz it is weared on our original
gums. My question is can it be remolded or can it be filed from the height as I think those are bit longer gums. Please suggest me as my father's Dr. is very rudely behaving with my father and its very upsetting if a patient is showing that he is not happy with the results he is forcing my father that its normal u have to bear that.
I think its not a professional behaviour by him how can he mis behave with us.
Very tensed please advise me sir.

In addition to the opinions given by the doctors, I would suggest you may share some of your dad’s past photograph, when he had teeth, with the doctor. This may help in a way, if that’s the kind of the teeth set you wanted to have.
I’m sure the doctor would help you give an aged looking teeth according to your Dad’s age. This can improve the denture.

I totally understand your concern.
Your father was teeth less for quite sometime. Sudden placement of dentures will definitely give a fullness to the cheek and change the appearance. That is because you are not used to see him like that. You are habitual of seeing him with the cheeks relaxed due to missing teeths.
It is normal.
You will get adjusted to this in a month or so.
Uneasy discomfort, difficulty to eat, swallow, speak, more salivation are all normal and it shall all fall in place with time.
Your concern about the length- the front two teeth are usually 2 mm bigger than the adjacent tooth.
If it is still disturbing kindly visit a dentist to get it sorted.

Generally we do trail of denture before final. In trail we set teeth on wax , and it can be moved with in limit to get desired position accepted by patient. The problem your father is facing is most common thing & most of the patients facing same. After bearing denture there is change in facial profile, it is due to denture, & it will be fine only if your father continue bear it for at least one month.
Next Steps
my advice is continue with deture, try to eat with it. and after one month spill your father feel same thing, you can go for another dentist for new denture.
