Thanks for your contribution here. I just did my first adjustment on my first pair of dentures that I have not worn in months. My dentist went out of business, and I had no way to return for an adjustment. Wow! The difference is amazing!
Hello. Thank you for making this video. So many people go to their dentist and dont get the help they need. There are thousands of people in the world that have poor fitting denntures and they dont know what to do. They end up throwing them in the drawer and never leaving their home. I appreciate the video you are making.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It's true that many people struggle with poor-fitting dentures and don't get the help they need. I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. My goal is to provide guidance and support to those facing these challenges. If you have any questions or need further advice, please feel free to reach out. 😊
You are so good helping people with these denture issues it costs so much to keep going back to the dentist for adjustments.Your a lovely person.Thank you
I JUST DID IT! I gave my father's dentures a small horseshoe (just to the third teeth from the back). He has to use SeaBond adhesive but now he has the pallet of his mouth freed up and can taste the food!! AND no gagging reflex when he eats either. Works great! Thank you for posting this video, especially about the part of horseshoeing a top denture. The dentist was pissed off when I asked about her doing it. She was kind of a turd about it. Oh, the suction will be gone. Oh no. But hello... my father has lost weight because he can't taste the food and so he doesn't eat much. So, I gently horseshoed the denture myself. I only took off most of the "tori" and no further. And it's fantastic. Thanks again for the video. It helped give me the courage to do this.
There is an adhesive that is called “cushion grip” that I have heard is the best! I have watched some videos on TikTok about it and I’m sold! So I bought some off Amazon and it is on its way. I just got my uppers done last Saturday (2-24-24) and so I can’t wait to try it. I’m in pain right now. From this video I have learned that it is coming from the left phalanges. So glad to have watched this! I will buy me a dremel but for now will get my dentures adjusted by my dentist. However if he doesn’t do what I need him to, buh bye LOL.
A friend, of mine, gave my newer denture a partial horseshoe so I still have suction. I have no problems tasting food with a full palate denture. Also, it no longer gags me. She also ground off some, of the back, of my lower denture. It was rubbing my the back of my tongue. Thank you for suggesting the horseshoe.
Thank you! My top plate was making me vomit, and I settled for a diet of soft food. I did a horseshoe, and I’m able to wear them for the first time in 5 months!
Was in a great deal of pain and could not get to another appointment before taking a long journey soon. Based off what you're showing I was able to cut a small amount off of my new partials to make room for my gums. Really grateful, Thank you!
Thank you sooo much for this! I have had to wait 5 mos. to finally get my top ones adjusted, including having to have surgery for my top jawbone (alveolectomy) and then still having to remake a whole new top one, and I finally get it done, and of course I can't talk without gagging, and I sound like I have a mouth full of marbles. So I went, just tonight, to get a rotary tool. Because I'm not gonna wait another five months and then still have it too far back. Plus, my bottoms have the exact issue you were talking about, with them not going down all the way. I watched this, just for doing the horseshoe, but you even covered my problem with my bottom ones too. I so appreciate this so much! God bless you, and I am a new sub. 🙏🏻🌺
Thank you so much for this. I'm having a family reunion on the 23rd on the 5th I had the procedure to get dental implants. Had all my teeth pulled and it was so agonizing. My gums still healing. But I didn't even think about trying the temporary teeth cause they were so sore. When I finally tried them they looked so big and fake I didn't know what I was gonna do. Went back there and they made me a new upper but still I didn't like the bite as when my mouth was closed you can still see teeth, do I watched this video went out and bought a Dremel and went to work filling some of the bottom outer back and top inner back and various other places I now got them to close pretty normally. I actually gave them up front also a little shape so they don't look so perfect and artificial. You are a lifesaver sir thanks again
Ty so much for your video. I had my teeth extracted over a month ago and my healing has been sooo bad... I have been dealing with open sores. My mental health is fried now because I have not been able to get my teeth in my mouth at all... I will go in and see what the dentist does for a fix with my dentures. If it doesn't work I'm coming home and getting to work. My teeth absolutely do not fit in my mouth at all. They cause massive sores and cankers. I have not worn them since the dentist did the surgery... Ty once again. Cheers
My denturist has been amazing. I suggest you all find a new one if your having all these different issues. Mine adjusts any time i ask since day one. Says he wants me to love my new dentures.
You are a Godsend. I used my Dremel on my new dentures and they are perfect. I just need to smooth them. Will buy the Nail cream and see how that turns out.
We’re thrilled to hear about your success with your new dentures and appreciate your kind words! 😊 However, we must emphasize the importance of proceeding with caution when using tools like a Dremel for adjustments. While it’s fantastic that you achieved a good fit, we recommend consulting with a dental professional to ensure the longevity and safety of your dentures. And please be careful with using nail cream, as it may not be designed for use with dentures. Looking forward to hearing how it goes, and remember, we’re here for any professional advice you might need!
Thank you so much. My dentist won’t dow the horseshoe thing. I’m gaging and nearly puke when eating. I’ve gone without them for 6 months now and I’m so happy without them. But I’d like to smile in photos or meat people and not have them distracted…
Thank u so much, I just discovered ur page today browsing. I’ve got to pairs of dentures and never got use to them because of the bridge. I’m so glad u are showing this video, cause this got help me with my problem! Thank u so much. U have another follower for sure!🙏🏽❤️
Thank you so much for giving me the courage to fix this rotten set of dentures I was stuck with. I had my teeth removed at 28 yrs old and had the same denture since. I'm now 48, I loved them. They fit so well after 20 yrs they looked real. No one could tell , I got so many compliments. The teeth were falling out so I had no choice but replace them. I only did a small adjustment today but over time I'm sure I can make them perfect. Thank you again.
It's been 8 months and I am so glad that I just picked up the Dremel and did it myself. Started out with teeth I couldn't put in, I dremeled, I went to teeth that I could wear for 10 minutes, I dremeled more, I could wear them for half a day, I dremeled and dremeled slowly but surely over the course of 2 months and now my teeth fit like a dream. No need for glue. Thank you again for posting this video and giving me the courage. I want another pair of ultra thin ones. Does anybody have an opinion on ultra thins?
I had the same situation at the same age,teeth began breaking and falling out. I had no choice but to have what was left pulled all in one day! So now I’m on my second pair of dentures,and it’s not like I don’t want to wear them and get use to them but. The bridge makes them so uncomfortable,like I may gag when I try to swallow. So I’m gonna work on them until I get them perfect for me! Thank u for sharing ❤
Thank you so much my mom has been having soooo many issues we have gone so many times to the dentist to get them fixed and its not working. I just found your video im going to try and see if i can do it myself
Thank you for your kind words and blessings! It's completely understandable that you may have a strong gag reflex during dental procedures. Here are a few tips to help minimize gagging: Practice relaxation techniques: Deep breathing exercises, meditation, or other relaxation techniques can help you remain calm and reduce the gag reflex during dental procedures. Distract yourself: Focus on something else, like counting or visualizing a pleasant scene, to take your mind off the procedure and minimize gagging. Breathe through your nose: Taking slow, deep breaths through your nose can help relax the throat muscles and reduce the gag reflex. Communicate with your dental professional: Let your dentist or prosthodontist know about your gagging concerns. They may have additional strategies or techniques to help make the process more comfortable for you. Use a throat numbing spray: Some over-the-counter throat numbing sprays may help suppress the gag reflex. Consult your dental professional to see if they recommend using one before your appointment. Remember, it's essential to discuss your concerns with your dental professional to ensure you receive the best care possible. They may have additional tips or methods to help make the process more comfortable for you. Blessings to you and your loved ones as well!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My dentist put in my immediate denture straight out of the box without checking if it needed to be trimmed to fit in my my mouth. One ridge was twice as high as the other and the pallet extended into my throat far enough that if i tried to swallow anything except liquid it would be pushed under the pallet and pulled the denture off. I could not make a K sound because it stoped my throat from closing and if i forced it, it would blow the denture out of my mouth. When i complained about it at my first adjustment, he refused to reduce the pallet saying i would lose suction and that i just have to get used to it. UNACCEPTABLE, so I bought a Dremel and using a flexible ruler I drew a straight line from one side jaw line to the other. There was almost 10 mm of material on the other side of that line. When i was done the denture was straight across the back. I put it in and all the pallet issues were gone. I can say K without it moving and i can eat without food going under it. Also i did not lose a bit of suction. Still considering putting a very slight horse shoe in because my tounge still rubs against it. Thanks again, you very much helped me 👍👍👍
Have you done the horseshoe yet? I need that done so bad because I gag so hard with the immediate denture that I end up vomiting the denture out into my hand, multiple times a day. My dentist refuses to take off anymore so I'm forced to make the adjustments myself at home but I'm scared..
Hi @Vix2066, I’m so glad to hear that you found the video helpful! It’s great that you know where your denture isn’t fitting well. If you have any questions while trying to fix it, feel free to reach out. Good luck, and thanks for watchi
Mr. Jo.......I'm watching your work here, its outstanding.........what is the lil tool called that used to smooth it out, I dont think your video showed this final process..........and does it smooth it out like the dentists office?
Wonderful . My dentist threw them in my mouth and said to live with the new ones for a few weeks and return if any problems. Well ….problems …..right away……my dentist did not want to know about the “ bight” and was interested only in being paid for the dentures. I sort of knew I was on my own if I had any problems…..unafraid to have a shot at it , I bought the grinder you have in the video but realized the problems of over confidence. You showed me how to attack the areas of concern . Truly grateful for your helpful video.
Hi [Joe], Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with your dentist-it’s unfortunate when patient concerns aren’t fully addressed. I’m glad, though, that the video was able to help you take control of the situation and make the necessary adjustments. It’s great that you were proactive in resolving the issues with your dentures. If you ever have more questions or need further guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help however I can. Wishing you the best with your dentures!
if you have the drumille and the kit there should be a white buffing wheel with the kit , if not go to walmart in the isle where they sell drumills and buy one
I just got my second set of dentures. The bottoms on the right side hurts whenever I try to eat . This video is so awesome! Where can I get this tool????
I’m glad you found the video helpful! You can find the tool used in the video at Home Depot in the tool section. If the discomfort persists, consider having a professional adjustment. Let me know if you have any other questions!”
Can you tell me is there a polishing compound I can buy in the US to get my denture smooth & SHINY after using my dremel??? The buffing wheel alone doesn’t get it as smooth as I’d like
Yes go to Sally's Beauty Supply in the acrylic nail section it's called Winning Nails Buffing Cream it's in a small white plastic jar. I use it with the white layered drimmel polishing wheel. It works really well.
It's interesting and kind of funny my finding your videos I just went to Menards to day to purchase a Dremel tool kit, I just got my dentures I actually asked my dentist about using one seeing that that's what he used every time I went in for an adjustment he said I could do it myself I just got so tired of tiring to get in to see him my dentures are new and need some miner adjustments I've already made some small adjustments taking it slowly I think that's the trick anyway thanks and in appreciation you have a new sub
@@smokingunclefrank6037 Hi @smokingunclefrank6037, thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s great to hear that you’re taking control of your denture adjustments-using the Dremel tool is definitely a handy trick. You’re absolutely right, taking it slow and making minor adjustments is key to getting the perfect fit. I’m glad my video could help and save you some trips to the dentist. Welcome aboard as a new subscriber! If you ever need more tips, feel free to reach out. Happy adjusting and stay confident with your new smile!
Does this machine also have a tip to make the teeth smooth . My dentist used this on my new dentures , now they are rough and jagged . Tell me please how to fix them , Thank you .
When you buy this drill (too expensive but works great for a ton of other things beside this) Habor fright has a drill cheaper Lil longer but same usage the HF drill is better because you can control the speed better with a f1.2.3.4.5 instead of the roll wheel to speed up or slow down and u will lose control of the instrument altogether and yes they ALL come with a rigged board and one to smooth it out too
Well done..how about the inside of the top denture that your tongue hits.that feels really big and I can tell it plays a roll in my speech.can we also trim that area down a bit ??.what do you think ??
hank you for your feedback. We understand that the inside area of the top denture, where your tongue makes contact, feels too large and is affecting your speech. It's essential that your dentures fit comfortably and do not impede your ability to speak clearly. We can certainly trim down that area to provide a better fit and improve your speech. Before making any adjustments, we will carefully consider your comfort and the overall functionality of the denture.
I totally understand the struggle. It can be hard to adjust to dentures, especially when it feels unnatural. The good news is, custom dentures can make a world of difference in comfort and fit. You’ve got this! Feel free to reach out if you need any tips along the way! 👍”
My dentist destroyed my first dentures when he tried to doing a full adjustment so the second set he had made for me are so horrible that the front bite doesn't close all the way and I am gagging everytime I wear my dentures. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try trimming down the back of my upper plate but I am nervous about it as they are the only teeth i have right now.
I just got my dentures and they need some adjustments and also I need to horseshoe the top. Can you please show me how to horseshoe them? Or do you have a video already? Thanks Jamie. 😊
My dad got brand new over dentures made. He is not able to close the mouth completely because the dentist made the lower teeth a little higher than the old dentures he had He also has great difficulty getting the over dentures out - too tight What can we do - can we fix this ? He does not want to go back to the dentist
To purchase denture-making materials that are durable and won't melt when eating, you can look for dental supply stores or online retailers. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and specialized dental supply stores often offer a variety of denture materials, such as acrylic resin or thermoplastic materials like Valplast or Flexite. These materials are specifically designed for dental use and should provide the durability you're looking for. Just make sure to check customer reviews and product descriptions to ensure you're purchasing a high-quality, heat-resistant material. Good luck with your denture-making project!
I actually I have a lower partial and I can't keep it in my mouth as soon as I put it in I start gagging My 4 lower front and my left 2 lower backones I think the the backside that goes to the back of my gum at the bottom is too long
I can do this if the only issue is adhesive bc I always had to use it but I hate the damn thickness and how crappy it is I have never eaten w my teeth. Doing this will help me eat again w em
I just got an acrylic partails with clasps and it has a small horse shoe but there's still alot of material there I was wondering if I could take out some of the acrylic .I'm not worried about them holding I'm worried about the strength of the acrylic . I got this in mexico and it seems like they didn't remove much material and they didn't make any adjustments .
How would you sharpen them. My bite seems to be right but I just can't seem to bite off things. Have to kinda of saw them back and forth. Just need them sharper.
Great question! Adjusting the midline can be tricky. Yes, you can gently grind the left side of the back flange, but be cautious and make minor adjustments. I’ll create a detailed video on this soon. Thanks for bringing it up!
Mine needs added too since my gums have shrunk and mine were sort of immediate dentures. I wonder how that process works? If u reply to my comment please like it so i see it in my notifications.
Holy Crap. Might want to try an electric Nail Filer instead of a Dremel Tool. Yeah I like Power as much and the next guy but wow, that is over kill. I would think "Always go slow" but with Dremel I don't think that is possible. Wow the further into the video I get the more worried I get. Good luck I am going to go a lot slower. No offense ment and I am still waiting to get my first set. In about 2 weeks. I might learn different once I have them. Edit: I think this video is meant to be a Joke, right?
I have just my topa done and im about to shave down my gums the area below my nose. My 7 yr old told me i have horse teeth and i van tell its pushing my lip up alot. Driving me crazy
I live in England and I need to buy the material to make a denture to make could you let me know what material to use and it's not going to be to expensive.
Hi ! It's great to hear that you're interested in making a denture. In England, a common material used for making dentures is acrylic resin, which is relatively affordable and widely available. You can find dental acrylics online or at dental supply stores. Another option is to use a thermoplastic material like Valplast or Flexite, which can provide more flexibility and comfort. However, these materials might be slightly more expensive. It's essential to consider factors like ease of use, durability, and personal comfort when choosing the right material for your needs. Best of luck with your denture-making project!
This is helpful but are you not just grinding away the parts of the teeth that breaks up food? Smooth teeth don't shred food which is why our molars have textured surfaces.
“Indeed, selective grinding should be approached with caution, as it’s meant to refine the fit of dentures and not alter the teeth’s essential role in breaking down food. While DIY adjustments may be necessary in urgent situations, this video is a stopgap, not a substitute for professional care. It’s crucial to preserve the molar’s texture for efficient chewing. If you find yourself needing to adjust your dentures at home, please consider it a temporary solution and seek a dentist’s assistance at the earliest opportunity.”
Trim the actual denture like he doing the teeth go inside around in the same shape as the denture then on the outside slowly and it’ll take some length away
My dentures came and they are way to big nothing like my wax mold I’m a person that when I smile you never seen my teeth hardly at all I look like a beaver. Can you file inside the thick front that is causing the denture and gum part to sit down so low in my mouth. Also can you shorten the actual teeth. I’m stuck with these help
Hello @TheKimba127, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. It sounds like the fit of your dentures isn’t quite right, and I understand how important it is for them to look natural and feel comfortable. Adjusting the thickness and length of the teeth can definitely be done to ensure a better fit and appearance. However, I strongly recommend visiting a dental professional for adjustments rather than attempting to modify them yourself, as this could damage the dentures or affect your oral health. Please consider scheduling an appointment with your dentist to address these issues. They have the tools and expertise to safely make these adjustments and ensure your dentures are perfect for your smile.
The description you gave is exactly the way I feel I would describe mine. And my dentist says that I have to just live with it and that’s not possible. I cannot live with it so I am having to go to a different dentist for help.
I horse shoed my Temps and I never needed adhesive it depends on how your palate is shaped and my final set was horseshoed by my dentist , but I want to know how you polish them back I never got it shiny again after working on my Temps no matter wich drill head I used ?????
@@kristincollins5468 it worked out great just make sure you don't drill away the sidewalls only the middle part and try them on again and again after you start drilling away i used a marker to mark which part i wanted gone it makes it a little easier
I really really HATE to say this but dentist are afraid of me i am immune compromised and they are afraid to do basic dental care for me and my teeth break and cut my mouth/ tongue etc and u cant handle it the only tool i could think to grind the tooth dwn slightly and im planning on making my own denture was a nail drill used but nail techs there are literally thousands of nail bits shapes files etc just a hint i think they could be used for the tiny adjustments needed on a denture
Never grind your teeth down flat!! There's no need to. You can use your dremel, but VERY LITTLE at a time. Test your denture in your mouth, if it needs alittle more adjusting, then do alittle more. But never be agressive with it and NEVER grind them down to flat. You want nice sharp teeth to be able to chew.
“Thanks for your valuable input! It’s important to be gentle and precise when adjusting dentures to maintain their shape and effectiveness. I appreciate you emphasizing the need for caution and sharing your approach to denture adjustments. If anyone’s unsure about the process, I’d recommend consulting with a dental professional to avoid any damage. Keep sharing your experiences; they’re incredibly helpful to the community!”
Yes girl that’s what I’ve been using. The dremel is too hard to control even on the lowest settings. I have both and I only use the dremel when I really mess up and have to cut the teeth back out
I appreciate what you're doing in making and posting this video, but if i may offer some constructive criticism: In its current form this video is a serious liability to you and to anyone who chooses to copy what you've shown in it. And you're opening yourself up to potential legal issues by advocating that people do this at home. At the very least, you should remake the video. Do it in a CLEAN area, wearing gloves and a respirator, not just a mask. And then instead of advocating for people to do it, just gently mention that you do not advocate doing this for yourself, and that you are not responsible for the results if someone chooses to try this. And if you're going to show people how to do this, you really should show them how to do it safely and properly. Finally, you missed the most important step. The polishing is vital for a comfortable and smooth feel in the mouth. There are a few ways this can be accomplished, but the simplest in your case would be to use the polishing wheel on your Dremel, and dress is with plain beeswax, or a food safe polishing compound if you can find one. And then clean the dentures thoroughly in an ultrasonic cleaner. Again, i really appreciate you and the time and effort you put into this video, please don't take this the wrong way, lol, I just think there was a few vital details that you missed, and I know that you can do better! 🤘
Thank you for your constructive feedback. The intention behind this video is to provide DIY solutions for those who may not have access to professional dental services or the means to afford them. It’s meant to help people make do with what they have at home, much like fixing things around the house without high-tech equipment. Safety and effectiveness within the realm of at-home capabilities are our priority, and i will consider your suggestions for future content. It’s important to me that viewers understand this isn’t professional advice, but rather a last resort for those in need. Your points are well-taken, and I appreciate you taking the time to share them.
If we lose our God-given teeth, no matter how many types of teeth we have, we will not have the joy and comfort of having original teeth with adhesives. Losing original teeth. Our bad luck.
@@rajivadali2913 “While it’s true that losing our natural teeth can feel like a big loss, dentures today are designed to restore both function and aesthetics, providing comfort and confidence. With the right fit and adjustments, many people are able to enjoy their dentures without needing adhesive or facing discomfort. It’s all about finding the right solution for your individual needs. Don’t lose hope, there’s always a way to improve your smile!”
Thank you for reaching out for guidance on how to remove your dentures. Here are some simple steps to help you safely and comfortably take your dentures down: Start by washing your hands thoroughly to maintain proper hygiene. Stand over a sink filled with water or place a folded towel in the sink to cushion the impact in case the dentures accidentally fall. For upper dentures: Use both hands to hold the denture and gently rock it back and forth to break the seal. Once the seal is broken, carefully pull the denture downward and out of your mouth. For lower dentures: Place your fingers on either side of the denture and gently press down while applying a slight rocking motion to break the seal. Once the seal is broken, lift the denture up and out of your mouth. After removal, place your dentures in a denture-safe container filled with water or denture-soaking solution to keep them moist and prevent warping.
always remind my audience that proper dental care is essential and that their safety and well-being should be the top priority. Keep creating and inspiring people with your content!

Thank you so much. My dentist won’t dow the horseshoe thing. I’m gaging and nearly puke when eating. I’ve gone without them for 6 months now and I’m so happy without them. But I’d like to smile in photos or meat people and not have them distracted…
Thank u so much, I just discovered ur page today browsing. I’ve got to pairs of dentures and never got use to them because of the bridge. I’m so glad u are showing this video, cause this got help me with my problem! Thank u so much. U have another follower for sure!🙏🏽❤️
Thank you. Dremel just arrived onnmy doorstep. Bout to get to work .... thanks again
Thank you so much for giving me the courage to fix this rotten set of dentures I was stuck with. I had my teeth removed at 28 yrs old and had the same denture since. I'm now 48, I loved them. They fit so well after 20 yrs they looked real. No one could tell , I got so many compliments. The teeth were falling out so I had no choice but replace them. I only did a small adjustment today but over time I'm sure I can make them perfect. Thank you again.
It's been 8 months and I am so glad that I just picked up the Dremel and did it myself. Started out with teeth I couldn't put in, I dremeled, I went to teeth that I could wear for 10 minutes, I dremeled more, I could wear them for half a day, I dremeled and dremeled slowly but surely over the course of 2 months and now my teeth fit like a dream. No need for glue. Thank you again for posting this video and giving me the courage. I want another pair of ultra thin ones. Does anybody have an opinion on ultra thins?
Same
I had the same situation at the same age,teeth began breaking and falling out. I had no choice but to have what was left pulled all in one day! So now I’m on my second pair of dentures,and it’s not like I don’t want to wear them and get use to them but. The bridge makes them so uncomfortable,like I may gag when I try to swallow. So I’m gonna work on them until I get them perfect for me! Thank u for sharing ❤
@@tawuanaallen2831I'm so glad I did it. It's been more than a year and no regrets yet
Thank you so much my mom has been having soooo many issues we have gone so many times to the dentist to get them fixed and its not working. I just found your video im going to try and see if i can do it myself
Wow thankyou so much, ive suffered for years, changed my life for the worse, i will try this tonight
Going to try thank you. Horseshoing I gag too much. Blessings upon you and your loved ones
Thank you for your kind words and blessings! It's completely understandable that you may have a strong gag reflex during dental procedures. Here are a few tips to help minimize gagging:
Practice relaxation techniques: Deep breathing exercises, meditation, or other relaxation techniques can help you remain calm and reduce the gag reflex during dental procedures.
Distract yourself: Focus on something else, like counting or visualizing a pleasant scene, to take your mind off the procedure and minimize gagging.
Breathe through your nose: Taking slow, deep breaths through your nose can help relax the throat muscles and reduce the gag reflex.
Communicate with your dental professional: Let your dentist or prosthodontist know about your gagging concerns. They may have additional strategies or techniques to help make the process more comfortable for you.
Use a throat numbing spray: Some over-the-counter throat numbing sprays may help suppress the gag reflex. Consult your dental professional to see if they recommend using one before your appointment.
Remember, it's essential to discuss your concerns with your dental professional to ensure you receive the best care possible. They may have additional tips or methods to help make the process more comfortable for you. Blessings to you and your loved ones as well!
Yes independent. ..i got it for my diy dentures. Tq for sharing
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My dentist put in my immediate denture straight out of the box without checking if it needed to be trimmed to fit in my my mouth. One ridge was twice as high as the other and the pallet extended into my throat far enough that if i tried to swallow anything except liquid it would be pushed under the pallet and pulled the denture off. I could not make a K sound because it stoped my throat from closing and if i forced it, it would blow the denture out of my mouth. When i complained about it at my first adjustment, he refused to reduce the pallet saying i would lose suction and that i just have to get used to it. UNACCEPTABLE, so I bought a Dremel and using a flexible ruler I drew a straight line from one side jaw line to the other. There was almost 10 mm of material on the other side of that line. When i was done the denture was straight across the back. I put it in and all the pallet issues were gone. I can say K without it moving and i can eat without food going under it. Also i did not lose a bit of suction. Still considering putting a very slight horse shoe in because my tounge still rubs against it. Thanks again, you very much helped me 👍👍👍
Thank you so watching
Have you done the horseshoe yet? I need that done so bad because I gag so hard with the immediate denture that I end up vomiting the denture out into my hand, multiple times a day. My dentist refuses to take off anymore so I'm forced to make the adjustments myself at home but I'm scared..
Thank you so much! This is so unbelievably helpful. I know exactly where my denture isn't fitting and im going to try to fix it!❤
Hi @Vix2066,
I’m so glad to hear that you found the video helpful! It’s great that you know where your denture isn’t fitting well. If you have any questions while trying to fix it, feel free to reach out. Good luck, and thanks for watchi
Oh and thank you so much for having this channel I will subscribe and probably share as well
What do you use to polish the gum smooth? Get the grind marks smooth and flat.
Mr. Jo.......I'm watching your work here, its outstanding.........what is the lil tool called that used to smooth it out, I dont think your video showed this final process..........and does it smooth it out like the dentists office?
I was thinking this way but your video give more confidence
Thanks so much for your video. It gives the confidence to do my own ill fitting dentures that are really bad. To get them in my mouth finally. Greg.
I don't have the dremmel but I have the rotary tool kit which is a lot cheaper than a dream of but it still works
Wonderful . My dentist threw them in my mouth and said to live with the new ones for a few weeks and return if any problems. Well ….problems …..right away……my dentist did not want to know about the “ bight” and was interested only in being paid for the dentures. I sort of knew I was on my own if I had any problems…..unafraid to have a shot at it , I bought the grinder you have in the video but realized the problems of over confidence. You showed me how to attack the areas of concern . Truly grateful for your helpful video.
Hi [Joe],
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with your dentist-it’s unfortunate when patient concerns aren’t fully addressed. I’m glad, though, that the video was able to help you take control of the situation and make the necessary adjustments. It’s great that you were proactive in resolving the issues with your dentures.
If you ever have more questions or need further guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help however I can. Wishing you the best with your dentures!
Thanks for the video and help Jo 👍
Your video really helped me out. ❤ I feel so much better!
Can you show us how to bring back the polish look after thinning our dentures on the outside please?
if you have the drumille and the kit there should be a white buffing wheel with the kit , if not go to walmart in the isle where they sell drumills and buy one
Also, use some buffing compound as well to really smooth things out.
I just got my second set of dentures. The bottoms on the right side hurts whenever I try to eat . This video is so awesome! Where can I get this tool????
I’m glad you found the video helpful! You can find the tool used in the video at Home Depot in the tool section. If the discomfort persists, consider having a professional adjustment. Let me know if you have any other questions!”
What can I use in place of articulating paper to mark my denture so I know where to adjust it?
I just got my dentures and I can't wear them because of the gag and I am so glad I found your video brother
Anytime I'm here to help
Can you tell me is there a polishing compound I can buy in the US to get my denture smooth & SHINY after using my dremel??? The buffing wheel alone doesn’t get it as smooth as I’d like
Yes go to Sally's Beauty Supply in the acrylic nail section it's called Winning Nails Buffing Cream it's in a small white plastic jar. I use it with the white layered drimmel polishing wheel. It works really well.
It's interesting and kind of funny my finding your videos I just went to Menards to day to purchase a Dremel tool kit, I just got my dentures I actually asked my dentist about using one seeing that that's what he used every time I went in for an adjustment he said I could do it myself I just got so tired of tiring to get in to see him my dentures are new and need some miner adjustments I've already made some small adjustments taking it slowly I think that's the trick anyway thanks and in appreciation you have a new sub
@@smokingunclefrank6037 Hi @smokingunclefrank6037, thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s great to hear that you’re taking control of your denture adjustments-using the Dremel tool is definitely a handy trick. You’re absolutely right, taking it slow and making minor adjustments is key to getting the perfect fit. I’m glad my video could help and save you some trips to the dentist. Welcome aboard as a new subscriber! If you ever need more tips, feel free to reach out. Happy adjusting and stay confident with your new smile!
thankyou so much for this video!!!!! many blessings be safe out their :) 2021
Does this machine also have a tip to make the teeth smooth . My dentist used this on my new dentures , now they are rough and jagged . Tell me please how to fix them , Thank you .
When you buy this drill (too expensive but works great for a ton of other things beside this) Habor fright has a drill cheaper Lil longer but same usage the HF drill is better because you can control the speed better with a f1.2.3.4.5 instead of the roll wheel to speed up or slow down and u will lose control of the instrument altogether and yes they ALL come with a rigged board and one to smooth it out too
@@pallana3701 I have the same one
Thank you so much !!
Well done..how about the inside of the top denture that your tongue hits.that feels really big and I can tell it plays a roll in my speech.can we also trim that area down a bit ??.what do you think ??
hank you for your feedback. We understand that the inside area of the top denture, where your tongue makes contact, feels too large and is affecting your speech. It's essential that your dentures fit comfortably and do not impede your ability to speak clearly.
We can certainly trim down that area to provide a better fit and improve your speech. Before making any adjustments, we will carefully consider your comfort and the overall functionality of the denture.
i havent worn my dentures for 8 yrs cause i couldnt feel my pallette and am afraid of choking cause i cant feel the food .. im def tryin this!
I totally understand the struggle. It can be hard to adjust to dentures, especially when it feels unnatural. The good news is, custom dentures can make a world of difference in comfort and fit. You’ve got this! Feel free to reach out if you need any tips along the way! 👍”
@@JOsdentureslabJOs TY so much! ♥
Thank you for this video
My dentist destroyed my first dentures when he tried to doing a full adjustment so the second set he had made for me are so horrible that the front bite doesn't close all the way and I am gagging everytime I wear my dentures. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try trimming down the back of my upper plate but I am nervous about it as they are the only teeth i have right now.
I just got my dentures and they need some adjustments and also I need to horseshoe the top. Can you please show me how to horseshoe them? Or do you have a video already? Thanks Jamie. 😊
I am looking for the smoother you used with Dremel tool, please, provide the link where I can buy it
It's great video for me tq Bro..
Can you grind the teeth on a partial to make them shorter my dentist is a asshat I live in a small remote area
I have a three front teeth partial from left to middle
that v on the top denture is hurting there what can I do
My dad got brand new over dentures made. He is not able to close the mouth completely because the dentist made the lower teeth a little higher than the old dentures he had
He also has great difficulty getting the over dentures out - too tight
What can we do - can we fix this ?
He does not want to go back to the dentist
Great video Thanks
Where do I buy the material to make a denture without it melting when eating with it please.Could you possibly let me know where I can buy please.
To purchase denture-making materials that are durable and won't melt when eating, you can look for dental supply stores or online retailers. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and specialized dental supply stores often offer a variety of denture materials, such as acrylic resin or thermoplastic materials like Valplast or Flexite. These materials are specifically designed for dental use and should provide the durability you're looking for. Just make sure to check customer reviews and product descriptions to ensure you're purchasing a high-quality, heat-resistant material. Good luck with your denture-making project!
thank joe
i wish you was in canada
Thank you so much 🤎
I actually I have a lower partial and I can't keep it in my mouth as soon as I put it in I start gagging My 4 lower front and my left 2 lower backones I think the the backside that goes to the back of my gum at the bottom is too long
Yes grind it down to just short of where the very last tooth was.
I can do this if the only issue is adhesive bc I always had to use it but I hate the damn thickness and how crappy it is I have never eaten w my teeth. Doing this will help me eat again w em
I just got an acrylic partails with clasps and it has a small horse shoe but there's still alot of material there I was wondering if I could take out some of the acrylic .I'm not worried about them holding I'm worried about the strength of the acrylic . I got this in mexico and it seems like they didn't remove much material and they didn't make any adjustments .
Same question
How would you sharpen them. My bite seems to be right but I just can't seem to bite off things. Have to kinda of saw them back and forth. Just need them sharper.
you need new ones teeth are hard to sharpen
How can I polish the teeth?
I am going to try a battery operated nail drill, too afraid to use a dremel, they are powerful.
I would love a link for that dremel bit your using.
They have on Amazon
So how go you adjust the midline if it's off to right a millimeter? Can I grind left side on back flange to move it to middl
Great question! Adjusting the midline can be tricky. Yes, you can gently grind the left side of the back flange, but be cautious and make minor adjustments. I’ll create a detailed video on this soon. Thanks for bringing it up!
Mine needs added too since my gums have shrunk and mine were sort of immediate dentures. I wonder how that process works?
If u reply to my comment please like it so i see it in my notifications.
I would get DensureFit or a soft reline kit to help build it up if you have too much space.
Thanks I am going to do this
Holy Crap. Might want to try an electric Nail Filer instead of a Dremel Tool. Yeah I like Power as much and the next guy but wow, that is over kill. I would think "Always go slow" but with Dremel I don't think that is possible.
Wow the further into the video I get the more worried I get.
Good luck I am going to go a lot slower.
No offense ment and I am still waiting to get my first set. In about 2 weeks. I might learn different once I have them.
Edit: I think this video is meant to be a Joke, right?
How can I do it to my permanent lower snap in denture that’s leaving indentation on my gums & causing a little pain in the back
I do have other videos that you can check out but I would recommend you go back to you dentist
Can i break corner of my front tooth so they look real?
I have just my topa done and im about to shave down my gums the area below my nose. My 7 yr old told me i have horse teeth and i van tell its pushing my lip up alot. Driving me crazy
I wish I would've done that years ago, it has distorted my face over the last 13 years 😞
I live in England and I need to buy the material to make a denture to make could you let me know what material to use and it's not going to be to expensive.
Hi ! It's great to hear that you're interested in making a denture. In England, a common material used for making dentures is acrylic resin, which is relatively affordable and widely available. You can find dental acrylics online or at dental supply stores. Another option is to use a thermoplastic material like Valplast or Flexite, which can provide more flexibility and comfort. However, these materials might be slightly more expensive. It's essential to consider factors like ease of use, durability, and personal comfort when choosing the right material for your needs. Best of luck with your denture-making project!
Do you work in a dental lab or dental office?
This is helpful but are you not just grinding away the parts of the teeth that breaks up food? Smooth teeth don't shred food which is why our molars have textured surfaces.
“Indeed, selective grinding should be approached with caution, as it’s meant to refine the fit of dentures and not alter the teeth’s essential role in breaking down food. While DIY adjustments may be necessary in urgent situations, this video is a stopgap, not a substitute for professional care. It’s crucial to preserve the molar’s texture for efficient chewing. If you find yourself needing to adjust your dentures at home, please consider it a temporary solution and seek a dentist’s assistance at the earliest opportunity.”
My front top teeth, are to long. Can you please to a video on top front teeth triming
Trim the actual denture like he doing the teeth go inside around in the same shape as the denture then on the outside slowly and it’ll take some length away
My dentures came and they are way to big nothing like my wax mold I’m a person that when I smile you never seen my teeth hardly at all I look like a beaver. Can you file inside the thick front that is causing the denture and gum part to sit down so low in my mouth. Also can you shorten the actual teeth. I’m stuck with these help
Hello @TheKimba127,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. It sounds like the fit of your dentures isn’t quite right, and I understand how important it is for them to look natural and feel comfortable. Adjusting the thickness and length of the teeth can definitely be done to ensure a better fit and appearance. However, I strongly recommend visiting a dental professional for adjustments rather than attempting to modify them yourself, as this could damage the dentures or affect your oral health.
Please consider scheduling an appointment with your dentist to address these issues. They have the tools and expertise to safely make these adjustments and ensure your dentures are perfect for your smile.
The description you gave is exactly the way I feel I would describe mine. And my dentist says that I have to just live with it and that’s not possible. I cannot live with it so I am having to go to a different dentist for help.
The teeth you worked on in this video, are those your dentures?
What kind of bit do i need to use?
You have many with the kit
@@JOsdentureslabJOs thankyou. I look forward to dentures which actually fit
I horse shoed my Temps and I never needed adhesive it depends on how your palate is shaped and my final set was horseshoed by my dentist , but I want to know how you polish them back I never got it shiny again after working on my Temps no matter wich drill head I used ?????
How did yours work out? I'm going to try to attempt to horseshoe mine this weekend because I can't wear mine at all without vomiting..
@@kristincollins5468 it worked out great just make sure you don't drill away the sidewalls only the middle part and try them on again and again after you start drilling away i used a marker to mark which part i wanted gone it makes it a little easier
Only my top dentist loosen when I eat. can you help me with that
what is the "instrument" called so I'll know what to ask for at the store? Is it a file, a drill or what?
Bremel
Can you have a videoe to shave front top teeth down
still waiting for this 😂
How about if you think over stick out and make your mouth look bigger
🤩
I really really HATE to say this but dentist are afraid of me i am immune compromised and they are afraid to do basic dental care for me and my teeth break and cut my mouth/ tongue etc and u cant handle it the only tool i could think to grind the tooth dwn slightly and im planning on making my own denture was a nail drill used but nail techs there are literally thousands of nail bits shapes files etc just a hint i think they could be used for the tiny adjustments needed on a denture
❤❤❤
Proceed with caution. If your dentures have a warranty, this will void your warranty.
Also, the heat and speed of the Dremel could break your denture.
Drexel tool is too loud and sounds horrible. Is the dental roto tool sound more quitet
Yes it is
What is that tool called
Dremel
Yes the dentist is very expensive indeed
Never grind your teeth down flat!! There's no need to. You can use your dremel, but VERY LITTLE at a time. Test your denture in your mouth, if it needs alittle more adjusting, then do alittle more. But never be agressive with it and NEVER grind them down to flat. You want nice sharp teeth to be able to chew.
“Thanks for your valuable input! It’s important to be gentle and precise when adjusting dentures to maintain their shape and effectiveness. I appreciate you emphasizing the need for caution and sharing your approach to denture adjustments. If anyone’s unsure about the process, I’d recommend consulting with a dental professional to avoid any damage. Keep sharing your experiences; they’re incredibly helpful to the community!”
Do I need this big a$$ tool lol? Can I use a regular girls electric nail file ?
Yes girl that’s what I’ve been using. The dremel is too hard to control even on the lowest settings. I have both and I only use the dremel when I really mess up and have to cut the teeth back out
Man am i the only one who blew on the screen by accident because of the dust
I appreciate what you're doing in making and posting this video, but if i may offer some constructive criticism: In its current form this video is a serious liability to you and to anyone who chooses to copy what you've shown in it. And you're opening yourself up to potential legal issues by advocating that people do this at home. At the very least, you should remake the video. Do it in a CLEAN area, wearing gloves and a respirator, not just a mask. And then instead of advocating for people to do it, just gently mention that you do not advocate doing this for yourself, and that you are not responsible for the results if someone chooses to try this. And if you're going to show people how to do this, you really should show them how to do it safely and properly. Finally, you missed the most important step. The polishing is vital for a comfortable and smooth feel in the mouth. There are a few ways this can be accomplished, but the simplest in your case would be to use the polishing wheel on your Dremel, and dress is with plain beeswax, or a food safe polishing compound if you can find one. And then clean the dentures thoroughly in an ultrasonic cleaner. Again, i really appreciate you and the time and effort you put into this video, please don't take this the wrong way, lol, I just think there was a few vital details that you missed, and I know that you can do better! 🤘
Thank you for your constructive feedback. The intention behind this video is to provide DIY solutions for those who may not have access to professional dental services or the means to afford them.

If we lose our God-given teeth, no matter how many types of teeth we have, we will not have the joy and comfort of having original teeth with adhesives. Losing original teeth.

How to take dentures down please.
Thank you for reaching out for guidance on how to remove your dentures. Here are some simple steps to help you safely and comfortably take your dentures down:
Start by washing your hands thoroughly to maintain proper hygiene.
Stand over a sink filled with water or place a folded towel in the sink to cushion the impact in case the dentures accidentally fall.
For upper dentures: Use both hands to hold the denture and gently rock it back and forth to break the seal. Once the seal is broken, carefully pull the denture downward and out of your mouth.
For lower dentures: Place your fingers on either side of the denture and gently press down while applying a slight rocking motion to break the seal. Once the seal is broken, lift the denture up and out of your mouth.
After removal, place your dentures in a denture-safe container filled with water or denture-soaking solution to keep them moist and prevent warping.
You are going to destroy the denture
