- Will having dentures impact your dating life? If you find yourself apprehensive about dating with dentures, you're not alone. For many, the idea of starting a new relationship as a denture wearer can be intimidating; but it doesn't have to be! Here's my thoughts!

I confessed to my Fiancé that I wear veneers and need to get dentures due to bacteria underneath rotting my actual teeth but you couldn't see it and I was terrified to tell her, come to find out she actually wears dentures also and I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA! So she was was totally understanding because she was afraid to tell me also lol. Crazy situation lol
Live is full of surprises, very happy you accepted each other. Best wishes on your wedding.
@@keyd4211 thank you very much!
This is the best story ever! Thats amazing that you did not notice she had them? Does she only have top or bottom? Or both?? I have top dentures and the way my bottom teeth are going I might need bottom dentures ☹ I have had so many guys ask me out for coffee and on a date and I always say no because I'm terrified of being rejected over this situation...
I dont understand how can a fiance not know I thought eating was a issue and they need to come out a t night
@@joelincolnlincoln6315 people are really good at hiding it if they dont want someone to find out. They don't have to come out at night. You can clean them the next day and soak them for 5 minutes while youre in the shower or going to the bathroom. I have full dentures now and its actually really easy. I can sleep with them in and it feels perfectly natural.
I had to get dentures 2 months ago and I'm only 26. as a kid I suffered from severe overcrowding I needed teeth removed and braces but my parents didn't do it so my teeth gradually got worse and worse over the years until I had no choice. people judge me all the time but I don't care. I lived most my life with ugly, crooked, painful teeth and now I have no pain and I have a beautiful smile. if you need dentures for whatever reason get them don't let others opinions stop you!
this isnt a whose situation is worse contest. and its extremely rude to reply to someones problems whining about your own problems. That's a surefire sign that you're a narcissist.
Rosita that was VERY helpful!
Convultus happened to me at 17. A car accident knocked out four of my front teeth and loosened the rest. I have had major issues for decades and spent thousands on my teeth. Now I'm facing dentures. You have one missing tooth which nowadays you can get that fixed easily. You will be fine... trust me.
Greywind92 shut the fuck up
@Carolina1 that was very well said. I feel like anyone in this situation should be and is allowed to vent their emotions, because how common is it that we just meet someone or personally know someone going through the same thing? Not very often. So when we have a community of people that can relate to us and sympathize without ignorance or judgment, it's actually the best most appropriate time to share those feelings. Its relieving to know others understand our struggles with having bad or failing teeth. It's an emotional journey, were allowed to express it in an environment of like -minded people and that will never be wrong. Very different from being a narcissist and making it all about you
Until you are at the point of needing dentures, or already have them ... You have no idea how huge this fear is! Thanks for covering this, it is a major factor in the decisions to move forward with dentures and with dating!
Some say bad breath is better than no breath. Having infected teeth removed is a great solution.
Hi Becky m. Hope ur doing ok. Did u end up getting dentures? It's different but it's worth it! I started a channel a week ago or so about my journey I hope it helps ppl who are thinking of getting them or ppl going threw the process... ❤👍😁✌
What fear? There is a thing called glue ? As far as dating? It is completely optional! Dating is not mandatory exercise!
@@doctoredable I say no breath is better!
Svetla Nikolova the fear is having no teeth in your head at all! You have to look in the mirror at some point without the dentures in!
People wear hearing aides because they can't hear..people wear glasses because they can't see....makes me sad that dentures seem to be taboo for some people....Thank you for your video....
Exactly.
Virginia lohrey uui
i got so sad because I was missing one tooth and the dentist I went to see to help me with one tooth gave me a bridge that damage the rest of my front teeth really bad work he did but when you can't afford something like this is really sad .
Mercedes Juarez I agree Mercedes. I have dentures but I can't afford implants to feel "normal" looking.
Dawn Shrodes I know is so sad I hope one day you can get that money to do it or somebody can help you everything is possible when we believe 😊 wish you the best
I am a 36 year old guy. I was without my teeth for about a year before having dentures fitted. I had my teeth removed them in three separate appointments, healed for a few months, then my jaw bone had to be shaved down, and I had to heal for a few months more to get the best fitment. I dealt with bad teeth for the better part of my adult life. I was embarrassed to the point to where I couldn't make eye contact with anyone, not even some friends. As of last week I am just getting back into dating and i am super excited! I am conquering my social anxiety from having really bad teeth and no teeth for such a long time. Thanks pretty lady for the reassurance that I can move forward. I was worried how my date would react when I tell them in the near future.
I was the same. Just had my top teeth out today, and I am just getting used to wearing my immediate dentures. They feel funny, but they are a step on the process towards my final dentures. I feel a little bit more confident wearing these dentures, even though they are the cheap ones.
I have found it's more of a problem having bad teeth than dentures! No one can tell with good dentures but really rotten bad teeth look awful. Great video!!
Amen...I went to dentist yesterday. I was informed I need full dentures. I cried, BUT I am actually relieved because I want to feel better (health), and confident. My new fiance encouraged me to go because he just wants me to smile and be happy. He is COMPLETELY SUPPORTIVE of my getting them. We just want to live a long happy life together.
I found these videos after my appointment. Thank you. I feel so much better about getting them now. No it's not anything to be ashamed of. BLESSINGS TO YOU.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 👑
Curious, who the 22 selfish individuals that gave this beautiful woman a thumbs down? A person trying to share her own experiences, and educate people and ease the fears of others. Whatever! Thank you Kalinjax for giving up your time to create these videos. Beautiful not only on the outside, but even more important on the inside.
Scot M I know right 😡😡😡😡 smh
They are idiots lol
They'll always be idiotic fools. Ignore them.
Them are the ones who don't understand
@@leahmcginley4057 maybe because she’s not wearing dentures. She got implants.
I'm 41. Full dentures.
Met my woman on a dating site. She's younger than me and we're getting married. She doesn't even care
That’s awesome bro
Congratulations..she is nice girl
I just got dentures and I’m trying to find the courage and confidence to tell my close friends , I cried about it but I think I feel a little better now thank you so much for this video 😭
Hope you are okay but you should never have to feel obligated to tell your friends about a health-related issue or procedure especially if you don't feel comfortable.
Anyone with a mature outlook on life won't care about dentures while dating. Unless you forgot to put them in. lol. (keeping it light folks!)
Linescrew1 love it lol
Ha! true dat
That was so cute lol
Exactly, I met a girl on a blind date many years ago and she literally had NO teeth (top and bottom)!, I have no problem with dentures but she thought I was shallow because this turned me off a tad!
@@Barnabas45 if something turns you off, it turns you off. As is your right I suppose.
Dentures look much better than bad teeth.
Thank you for your support. 🌹
I used to be bulimic when I was a teen and I began doing it again after giving birth to my now 8yr old daughter so eventually my gag reflexes got very messed up & sometimes to this very day, it is hard to keep food down which the acid caused my tooth to decay and rot. I have been very embarrassed about getting dentures but honestly, your videos have helped out a lot especially when I see how young and beautiful you are. I guess I just kind of thought that only the elderly &drug addicts used dentures so now I feel much to see that beautiful people get dentures too.
Hi hun. I went through this too. I am currently in Costa Rica getting my teeth fixed finally after 10 years of battling bulimia. I feel like this finally closes that chapter in my life
Same here, being bulimic by several years nobody knows it, not even my family. We're all chubby, but for some reason I've always been the target of their bullying, telling me things like "you made yourself a pig", "you look like a cow" "nothing fits you" that really affected me. And now is worse, my teeth are bad and my dentist says that I should consider using a denture. It's hard to deal with bulimia and the losing of your teeth because both are related to self steem UwU it's difficult. But we can go through this. You can do it. My best wishes to both of you and anyone who is going through this.
Thank you!!! I got my uppers almost 10 years ago I was 27 at the time. I hadn't been confident enough to smile proudly until I got my dentures. I recently had my lowers done 2 years ago and now I feel even better. So again thank you for letting us know younger denture wearers are not alone.
I'm on the verge of suicide because of my teeth. I think dentures will truly make my life worth living again. I don't date now because I'm so ashamed of my crooked teeth that are falling out from Bone loss. I know it's tuff at first but I think it will be sooool worth it. Thx for this Video! God Bless!
Lisa! Thank You for your willingness to share this! We support people like you! -
The Dream Team "Dental Implant experts"
Lisa Marie I hope you were able to get your smile fixed and it upset me to read that your suicidal over this. I will listen if you need to talk please don't harm yourself! Best of luck!
I feel your pain. Go & get dentures or implants hon. I wear partial dentures. They gave me back my confidence again. Trust me & get it done. You won’t regret it Lisa.
I know how you feel. I recently found out I had 6 cavities (I didn't have a cavity since I was a kid) in my back teeth most of them were small and others a bit big, because of the stress of college and other problems I started to think of killing myself, but I started to think that there are worst things in life and I could be in a worse situation. I'm currently recovering from my depression and working out and taking better care of myself and lately I'm feeling way better. Suicide is not the answer, if there is a problem there is a solution and I can tell with 100% sure that most people won't see a problem with you wearing dentures. So my advice is trying to get help, specially from friends, family and obviously a professional, try to change the way you look at things and learn from your mistakes and take better care of yourself. Also be aware that everyone has scars and a scar tells a story
Lisa I know this is 2 years later and I know how it feels to have dental problems where it makes our self esteem sink to the bottom of the ocean. I truly hope you are ok. I've had so many Dental issues and over the years I've had so much work done, including braces because my teeth were very crowded but not crooked. I've had my front teeth ground only to eat a gummy bear and There Goes My Crown . I look like a damn jack-o'-lantern. I taught myself how to not smile when I was missing that tooth. I eventually had it replaced . after I had it replaced, I was so used to not smiling that I had to get used to being able to smile again. I've had several teeth pulled, even the ones right behind my canine teeth so that my braces could work. I've never had any health issues or did anything to cause my dental issues. My grandma would tell me that my grandpa had teeth like chalk, my dad had very weak teeth. As of now after many many years, every single tooth I have is a crown. My husband at one point had really good dental insurance and I took advantage of getting the work done. But my problems did not and there. I have TMJ and I grind my teeth severely. I will repeat, severely. My dentist is awesome and he says that I have grinded my teeth down so bad that he barely has any room to work. The first visit when I saw him, I honestly had no hope and my anxiety kept telling me that I could either not afford all the work I needed or that the dentist would say I need to get all my teeth pulled since it would cost way more than a nice new car. As it turned out, it wasn't as bad as I thought but yes I did need a lot of work still. I had to have root canals redone, I just had the third root canal on this tooth done and I honestly don't think they will be able to save it when I go back in a week. It's been hell. I had an abscess and I can tell you I would have rather given birth to my two kids all over again then go through that pain. But my whole point is is that nowadays they have come so far in the dental industry and many people who think they need dentures really don't. That's what happened in my case but I am almost sure that one day when I'm older and it's more logical, I would get them. But at this point they are not necessary. But if they were, so be it. It's really a win-win situation. There's Hope and you can either get things fixed or if you do need dentures, they have come so far as far as dental work. What upsets me as well as many other people is that dental work is so expensive. But it's very important to get your teeth scene 2 in do whatever you have to do 2 find a way to make it happen. When it comes to your health and there's no other options there are so many loans or credit cards out there. It's not my favorite option but at the same time it's not like I'm getting a credit card to go shopping. It's to save my teeth as well as my health. Many people don't understand that if there are severe dental problems that go untreated it affects your overall health. There are so many dentist out there that will work with you regardless of your income. I can imagine there are so many dentist out there that want to help people and they do understand the crazy costs involved. You have to dig deep and find a way to get it done but please know that reading your comment made my heart sink even though I do not know you. I feel for you because I know the pain through my own experience but there is no reason whatsoever to take your own life. Issues like this , there's always a solution even if the negative voice in your mind says it's not possible. your pain is mine as I read this. I am being honest and I could tell you that I am on my phone and I see your picture next to your comment. And you are very beautiful, I totally mean that. I know what it's like to be told by others that I am beautiful and not believe it. I would always shrug it off because my insecurities about my teeth overrides the compliments. But I have been told I am pretty over the years and it has come from people that I know wouldn't just say it just to say it or make me feel good. But I know what it's like to be told you're beautiful and not feel it. But you most definitely are and honestly if I had the money I would totally pay for you and me to have all the luxurious dental work in the world that we needed. Please keep your head up and I promise a lot of times it's not as bad as you think. Maybe the dentist will tell you that you don't need dentures. Maybe they will. So what? Really. So what? If you need dentures, so be it.
I am sending you the warmest tightest hug I can send you over TH-cam. your comment went right through my heart and this world and the people you know need you more than you will ever think. This is just a season where in, things always get better and I truly hope that you are okay. You have so much to live for. Sometimes we just need someone to say "I understand." it's a very heartbreaking feeling to look in the mirror and hate what we see. I've been there. but there's always a way to get the help you need. And I promise you the fear that you have, when everything is said and done you will look back and think I was more scared than I needed to be. Most of the time when we worry about Things they don't happen or they are not as bad as we thought.. I wish you the best and remember you are beautiful. You are loved.
Your videos have helped me out so much. I'm 37 and had dentures at 28. I was super insecure about a lot of things in my life and that was a big one. I'm a singer who is still trying to make my dreams come true and I get worried about how it would affect all of that. I wouldn't tell my friends and became very reclusive because of my insecurities about it. I worried everyone could tell. It really added to my already low self-esteem. But I have come to find that it didn't affect my singing, no one can tell, and I'm worried for nothing. I've also found that when I have brought it up it's not a big deal. I just want to thank you for all that you do to help all of us out here. It means a lot. You're a sweetheart.
Schneewittchen3663 I'm a singer, too!
I had a teeny bit of a lisp, when I first got my dentures, but as soon as I was used to them, my singing was back to awesome & I was so relieved!! 😊
I totally understand all those fears, hey! xo
Schneewittchen3663 I just want to say how happy I am that you overcame your fear and that everything worked out for you. I am so scared that I will need dentures because my mouth will look sunked in. Can people tell that you have dentures? And are you really comfortable as far as eating and stuff? Can you chew gum with them and do you have to take them off at night? Can’t I just wash them at night and put them back in? Thank you so much in advance and I wish you the best with your singing career.
I'm an English teacher, the same as you I'm worried about how to get dentures could affect my voice, I'm mean, I make my living on how I talk. Hope you get this through and make your dream come true.
Here to support! Just got mine a week ago. ! But happy that I’m not alone in my journey ! 36 with dentures is a lot but , my smile is beautiful now! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing , it takes courage, and im here for it! Ty so much for sharing
I had to get an upper denture almost 1 year ago due to bone loss and I’m a 42 year old former (now disabled) dental assistant...being that teeth were my life for about 20 years getting a denture was really traumatic for me. When you work in dental you notice peoples teeth and can’t help thinking everyone notices yours too. Luckily I have a very supportive husband who like yours has become even more attracted to me because now I can smile! I still plan on getting implants someday but have learned how to cope with wearing a denture. It’s not the end of the world, it’s just the beginning of a new chapter! Thank you for this video!
I'm 58 and single now and I've been paranoid of how I would handle the fact I have dentures In single life, i just got my permanant and i feel very worried, your video helped me. Thank you
My biggest fear in life is to have dentures. I have had this fear since I can remember. It's so exhausting. You are so strong and brave for doing this. You are beautiful and intelligent! ♥️♥️
my mom at 44 has had dentures since 22, bad teeth run in our family and being able to smile means the world to me. you’ve made me feel so much mote comfortable, thank you.
Thanks for your video! I just got dentures 2 weeks ago, not embarrassed talking with people I know about my dentures. In fact, a friend which works for a dentist, could not tell I had dentures until I told her. I have a dentist which did a terrific job.Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you so much!!! I'm finally getting my dentures a week from today! It's been a long, frustrating journey!!! I can't wait to get my smile back!!! It's been so worth it!!!
There should be an Online Dating site for "Denture Dating" since we will be more comfortable inthat aspect of life. Both partners will know what we bring to the relationship as far as dentures and we both will be comfortable expressing ourselves in intamacy. What do everyone think about this? Opinions please.....
This would be amazing
I've recently watched a couple of your videos concerning dental issues. You're truly an inspiration. It's really just nice and beneficial hearing your perspective. Thank you!
They need to look beyond the dentures and see that your mouth is cleaner this way!!! But I hear ppl having fear especially single people. I guess I would fear it as well. But if people don't like it.... get lost!!! They are very ignorant!!! Great topic!
Hey, my name is Lou I’m in the process of having to get dentures like you and have watched quite a few of your videos, all kidding aside you are so articulate when you speak and the way you convey messages, Is amazing. If you don’t do this professionally you should seriously, seriously consider it because you are a joy to listen to and I mean that in all seriousness. Thank you and good luck
Love the topic... Thanks for sharing!! I was very self conscious about my dentures at first but it’s been about 10 years and I’ve matured a lot... Like you said the prejudice that people have with denture wearers is due to ignorance...!
Thank you for this video, I'm on a point of pure anxiety cause I'm a 26 y/o male and needing full dentures because my teeth are rotten to the root because of anti-depressant medication. You really gave me that extra boost of confidence with this video , and I'm planning to get everything extracted and go for full dentures asap, it's been way overdue. Just need to save a little more money for it.
I recently got into contact with this girl and I can't stop worrying about how this will affect our relationship, you gave me a great insight as to how the right people WILL accept it :)
Also, you really look great with your dentures!
Hey Kalinjax! Been watching you for a few years from you Affordable Dentures day to now. Just wanted to let you know, I'm engaged and our wedding is next year and by then I'll have all on four implants!
I haven't even got my e day yet. It will be very soon, in the next month. Waiting on that tax return to make the down payment.
My fiancée is VERY happy I am getting my dentures. He's always called me beautiful even with my nasty teeth and all the infections. He wants me to be happy and healthy and this is going to improve our lives ten fold.
Maggie East love it! Congrats on both the wedding and the new smile. Good luck!!
kalinjax ur awesome!!! just got dentures
Maggie
What a BEAUTIFUL man/soul you've united with...CONGRATULATIONS!!! ✨💖✨
Having courage is not about not having fear but having fear but doing it anyway! Excellent quote! 💪
Very much appreciated 🙏 for the encouraging words. I've been through so much losing my husband almost three years ago then finding out we were scammed out of our money we had. I live by myself living on disability so I can't afford to get permanent dentures now so I'm going to have to deal with regular dentures whatever they may be. I'm hoping at almost 65 there's guys out there that will date someone that wears dentures 😒
You are such a lovely positive lady. I'm happy to hear your success story. I don't even need dentures; I just love listening to you talk.
I'm a facial gunshot wound survivor. An I have definitely noticed a large difference in everything. Waiting for swelling to go down before dentures.Then implants 5 month's from now.
Eccentric Detectorist's Best of luck to you, mate & well done surviving a gunshot wound to the face!!! You're incredibly brave & an inspiration!
I recently got dentures and explaining why i have no teeth to my 5 yr old son was hard i started crying but explaining it to my 2 older girls was hard but they understood so well i was so surprised they are so supportive. And one of their teachers told me smile and be proud of who i am. So im smiling proudly that i have pretty teeth again 😁😁
Your five year old won’t remember it at all! Only my 16 year old remembers my terrible teeth and that’s only because his memory is insane. My younger two keep forgetting that my teeth aren’t mine and my second oldest only remembers because she thinks it’s cool that I do TH-cam and watches all of my videos. 🤣 After a while, people tend to forget and it’s just the new normal.
I've been wearing Dentures now for just about a year now. My story isn't all that dissimilar to yours. I just happened to stumble on your channel by chance, but so glad I did! I'm encouraged to share my story now, because of you. Unfortunately I ended up getting a bad dentist, who made me a poor quality set of dentures, and neglected to believe me and caused me to have a piece of dead bone trapped in my upper jaw for over a year and a half, (finally getting removed this Thursday!) that's left me with an infection and poor healing. As far as Dating with Dentures, I'm married, but like you, getting my dentures and being able to talk and smile without trying to hide my mouth or fearing if my teeth are showing and always wondering if people are just staring at my mouth, thinking I'm some kind of drug addict or worse, has definitely made me a more happy and confident person! The right person won't care if you wear dentures or not. My husband loved me before and he's happy that he was able to help me get this done. I shouldn't have put off getting them for as long as I did out of fear, but at the same time, I wish I had found a better dentist before getting the extractions! Thanks for all you do!
it wouldn't bother me if you had dentures or no teeth at all ! I date a woman by the way she is, not always the way she looks ! you look very pretty !
That's great
Marry me! Lol
@@keli449 are you
Wearing dentures too?
@@legendoooo9890 no not yet, but I need them , just been scared.
@@keli449 She's already spoken for. :)
Happy to discover you on TH-cam! I had teeth removed and an upper denture put in five years ago - I’m still wearing the temporary and never had it re-lined. I love love love my denture but the sad thing is I never told anyone except my kids and unable to have a relationship as fearful to kiss anyone as they will know I have a denture. I’m always told I have a beautiful smile and can’t imagine ever disclosing the fact that my teeth aren’t my own. Now my bottom teeth are breaking since pandemic and was told to remove all teeth and put in a denture and I’m very fearful of this as I’m told it won’t stay in the bottom and I will need implants and bone grafts and don’t have the cash. I so miss having a relationship and want to fall in love again at over 60 but afraid of anyone learning I have a denture.
Thank you so much for putting this out there. I just got them this weekend and these thoughts have obviously been racing through my mind ever since. Your video really helped me come to terms with things, and reminded me that I’m not alone in this experience and have nothing to be ashamed of! Turning negatives into strengths is key with lots of things in life, an dentures are no different.
I subscribed so fast! You’re amazing and a voice to someone like me who’s going through a similar teeth journey. Your videos are great and inspiring. Thank you!
Its just so sad, I'm only 19 and I already have to decide on having them:'(
Your young you can save up to get implants. Nobody really cares these days . People are too concerned with themselves . It's important to do facial exercises to keep your jaw toned down.
mustamerah balt I’m a young 55 just two days ago ,I lost all my uppers several years ago was finally exited to get dentures only to have the misfortune of choosing a very unethical practice , and to be honest my natural teeth were horrendous cracked etc due to several reasons some my fault and some totally unavoidable long story short I’ve had my second set of dentures almost a year but just couldn’t adjust , but I’ve learned that if ppl cared about me with dentures or without I didn’t need them in my life , I’ve just been lucky to find out I’ll be getting implants on my uppers in 3 weeks and I feel super blessed but it’s for my own self confidence for those that judged me for not having them they are still living in a dream world we all have something that if only we had a different outcome never give up hope I love ppl for their personality and ppl that aren’t so quick to judge and again I’ve had issues with my teeth since around age 5 or 6 keep thinking positive teeth are definitely something ppl do look at however my experience was just a mess from the dentist I chose to just having an odd mouth keep your confidence you seem like a kind person and like this gorgeous lady said if they can’t except you then perhaps they aren’t meant to be in your life also so many different options wishing u much luck and happiness in future :)
That’s not fair. I’m 22 and I need dentures. I can’t even begin to think how bad you feel.
I'm also 21 and have dentures. Sometimes watching videos like this help me gain self confidence but later I just feel down because having dentures is just very embarassing. I still feel bad about myself and I think it will be like this for the rest of my life. 😢
@@stenaaa799 I feel you. 😥 My whole entire life, I've never dated anyone. I'm scared of entering a relationship because of it 😭
Thank you for this! I’m currently dating someone long distance. Been talking more on then off for 1.5 yrs but won’t let him meet me till my mouth reconstruction gets done. I literally have a just 3 jagged teethe left & look like a monster. I finally told him I had to get mouth reconstruction (without the gross descriptive details) cuz didn’t want him to think was just stringing him along. Was super chill about it & been very patient. Feel so blessed I’ve met this man & I’m always worried he’s gonna get frustrated & move on. I love your courage & I’m constantly challenging myself to do more to face my fears. It’s terrifying sometimes but so liberating! The right people stick around & the rest are worth your love & heart.
Thank you for being so honest and real. Through your own uncomfortable experience you are helping a lot of people and isn't that really a big part of what it's all about? I believe it is so thank you😊❤️
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏 I've been struggeling sooo much with this. First time ever I hear someone talk about this!
I had All my teeth pulled out in july 2019 and I havent been on a date becouse I didnt know how 2 talk about it.. This helps sooooo much!
BIG HUGS FROM DENMARK 💗
If they dont want to date you because you wear dentures forget about them lol who cares about them. It wasn’t meant to be. Dentures have made my long term partner actually happier and he’s really supportive like it should be.
I know why too. My hop.
Finally someone so real about dentures..lve had to pass on few women cuz fear of my dentures..it really sad but thankyou so much beautiful.
I didn't even know that people would have an issue with people wearing dentures!
But like... you can just bite into a Popsicle or ice cream cone without pain, right? That's awesome. Look at the positive!
Although don't pull out your dentures when you first meet someone and shove them in their face. ¬A¬ My sister-in-law did this when I first met her and it was awkward.
Oh I was someone who was scared to tell a guy. My attitude was when I shared it I was not going to let him put me down for it, but i was terrified to bring it up. He was just a jerk for other reasons so I never shared it.
But I just got home from a date where I was just told I had a beautiful smile. After a few kisses he asked if I had dentures. I said yes. He said why? I just casually said years of bad dental work and medication took its toll. I am 38 and I am glad to be done with that pain and infected teeth. He asked if I took them out at night I said yes and we moved on. It was no big deal. I have noticed I have become very observant of others teeth and usually I am happy to have my white straight teeth. Sometimes I look at others teeth and think I like mine better lol
Elizabeth Ritter glad to read your comment,I have recently been fitted with dentures and I am scared to date.I have gotten my dentures on Tuesday and Wednesday night is the first I have taken them out to soak in the polident solution.Oh gosh my mouth looks so ugly that I would be so ashamed to let my partner sees me.I have full upper dentures my lower bottom teeth are okay.I had periodental gum disease.My dentist told me I can save up to do dental implants but in the meanwhile I have to wear this denture that you takes out.
Sorry, but I really don't understand why would anyone have a problem with you wearing dentures? People go through all types of procedures to improve/change themselves, from hair transplant to breast implants, nose job etc.
Because people like to judge other base on their appearance, and dealing with critics is hard for most people.
I'm so glad to see you back. You have helped me through my journey on getting dentures. I'm so happy to smile with confidence. Thank you so much for your videos and sharing your story and experiences.
I had no issues with my teeth from the time they started coming in until I was 12, when the dentist I had seen my entire life retired. Unfortunately, I grew up quite poor so I was on state issued insurance & we were given 2 options for a new dentist. One was about an hour away so he was out which left the one I had to see. I always went every 6mths for cleanings & brushed 2x a day, in the previous 12yrs only had 2 cavities. However, after starting the new dentist "suddenly" I started getting cavities constantly according to the dentist. I do have mild OCD, so I became obsessed thinking maybe I needed to brush more. It got so bad I was brushing NO LESS than 6x a day, using mouthwash after each brushing when the mouthwash for kids came out that is supposed to "attract" anything left after brushing so I began using that as well. However, I had gotten use to the burn of regular mouthwash I felt like I was using swishing koolaid, therefore I would use the kids mouthwash then regular ol' Listerine. If I ate or drank anything other than water I would immediately brush my teeth, I kept an extra brush/toothpaste with me at all times. But nothing seemed to help, every trip to the dentist was "another" cavity until it turned into oh you need a root canal. And never once did this dentist say anything about my enamel being eroded away. After graduating & getting a job with insurance at 18, I changed dentists and over the next year's spent thousands trying to fix my teeth. Needless to say I got to the point I was in constant pain for years, it got to the point of not being able to even eat soup with severe pain. So 2yrs ago I was able to get my top teeth pulled. And YES, I later learned that the dentist I had been seeing had actually been shut down & lost his license. He had done the same thing to many of his patients, messing everyone's teeth up. But at that point the damage had been done, & yes I know I didn't help with constant brushing. I've been outta the dating seen for a few years & just started getting back into and this has been my biggest question & fear.
I just want to say thank you for posting this video. I have dentures due to family genes and I’m only 31 I have been severely depressed and not feeling confident, feeling ugly and honestly not wanting to live anymore. I’m single and The dentures I have are cheap and ugly (because I cannot afford anything nice and had to pay out of pocket). But your video helped me so much, it gave me a little hope seeing you. You’re so beautiful and confident I realize that I would not have a problem dating a woman with dentures or implants. Just hopefully one day I will get some help or find a grant so I can get my great smile back until then it does kind of feel hopeless and I don’t know if I will ever meet anyone like this but again, your video gave me the hope I needed tonight so thank you. God bless
Thank you for this. I needed to hear all of this. I’m going in for my consult tomorrow. I’m nervous af. But it’s gotta be done. Thanks again!
this video has expressed all of my concerns because I'm going to have to have this done I just do not have the money for this but you've made me feel so much better about it and you're so beautiful thank you
thank you!
I'm 20, and my upper front 4 teeth were extracted the other day and I'm wearing dentures now. It fears and frustrates me ( my natural teeth are gone). and made me think that no one will like me now for I am toothless.
But hearing that things from you lighten up my mood. Thank you so much much. It helps a lot for a young people with dentures like me
Hello! Same situation here. I'm also 20.😅 Are you Filipino?

@@ajduo6431 pang ilang days muna?
Man I'm loving you so much, you covered all the bases. God bless you and Thank you again very much 😂😘
I couldn't tell those weren't yours. I saw the video of you telling your story and i appreciate you sharing your journey. I had to subscribe you are beautiful. I just had the temp put in and looking forward to the perm and will move on from there. Thank You
I didn't realize at first that this was a different page and one I had to subscribe to. Agree with you 100%. When I first was planning on getting my dentures my greatest fear was the reaction of people as I got about the business of living. Strangely, I went from that to doing my own videos to help people because yours had helped me so much when I was researching the Ivoclar Vivadent Phonares II teeth. Today, I don't care who knows. I don't shout it from the rooftops but have no problem talking about it if people ask. With dating, I would suggest exactly what you did. You wouldn't go on a first date (hopefully) and tell a harrowing story about a former relationship gone bad or any other intimate details about your life that should come under the headline "TMI." Get to know someone. Know if you're interested and if they are. If someone rejects you for your dentures they are not the supportive, caring person you should have in your life anyway, or they simply don't have the facts. I think that kind of reaction says more about them than it does about you. Great to see you again Kristi!
Completely agree. I call shenanigans and lies in anyone who says they've hid it from a live in spouse for 15 years. Where are you hiding your denture stuff? Everyone has a moment every now and again when they lose suction at the most inconvenient times. The products for dentures are completely different than that of regular teeth. They dont even make the same noise as regular teeth.
For alot of these reasons and more I cant see hiding implants or even a hybridge that long. There are just certain giveaways with fake teeth that will, with time become apparant living with someone.
Me personally dating someone with dentures wouldnt have bothered me at all...even prior to me having to get them. To me it's the same damn thing as someone having a prosthetic leg or arm.
I was just told 4 days ago that I have to get about 13 removed. I had a TOTAL meltdown like you said. For HOURS I was bawling. I'm 34, single mother of 4 for the last 3 years. I was devastated. Not only am I TERRIFIED to get my teeth ripped out but I really dont want to go anywhere in public with no teeth. Even during the healing process. So I need to find a place that will give me immediate temp dentures. It's the healing process that has me terrified really. 😭😭
How did it go? X
I see it that its their problem.i see anyone with dentures as one of the most real ppl around theyre amazing ppl in all aspects
Thank you so much! You are so helpful. Regards from Athens Greece!,
Your explanation is incredible!!!!! You have given me so much hope!!!!
You’re amazing thanks for your video ❤️ I’ve lived with dentures my entire life since I was 15 I’m 65 now, it was great to get a bridge and finally not have to pull my dentures out and clean them that was so bad, and now I’m lost my bridge across by four front teeth and I use the bridge like it’s a denture now I just glue it back in but definitely I need to get something done, you are so on point with your comments I felt everything that you talk about ❤️❤️ God bless you
Wait until they fall in love with you and then reveal you have dentures ;) they won't mind because they love you and they're invested in you now. No need to bring it up on a first date
But isn't that dishonest?
Dishonest? Since when does "honesty" mean full disclosure of every intimate detail when you're just dating?
Only when I would feel we're headed towards life partnership would I feel a need to disclose. Until then, I owe you nothing.
@@dammar117 Well I agree with you mostly. However if your intent is a long-term relationship sooner or later it’s going to be more than just dating. There is a tricky fine line between honesty and disclosure.And it’s not as simple as most people think in my opinion. How this seemingly simple issue is handled reveals a lot about the character of both parties. It’s not black and white in my opinion. I suppose if I had to put a number on it it should be revealed within the first 25 hours of time spent together. By then the emotional potential should be established and chemistry established as well. Hiding an important detail like this any longer could be detrimental. It may not be obvious At first but in time it will become very important. And it’s not about the dentures, it’s about the character. My $.02. Best of luck to you all!
@@305dreamhonda why would you need to disclose the fact that you have dentures as if it somehow is a big deal, that would be like getting mad at your partner because they didint share their political beliefs on the first date what
@@cruxell do what you feel is right, I feel I was clear about my opinion. For most people they won’t care if you have dentures, but most care about honesty. If you don’t disclose for a long time, you decide if that’s honest or not. It’s tricky and every situation is different. My advice is be brave and honest the best you can. Best wishes to you! 🙏
I’m only 23 and I’ve been suffering from depression ever since I found out that I might have to wear dentures. I tried to die a couple times and literally don’t know what to do. But thank you for the video, I feel a little stronger
Me too same I'm just only 16 years. Old I'm suffering from depression to.
Because no one will love you if you have dentures I'm so obsessed of I'm teeth I don't no what to do
Aleah Cabrera I can totally relate.
Did you experience that no one will like you
How many teeth are lost to you
At the end of this year I have to have my teeth pulled and I cant afford implants so I have to get dentures, and I have been single over year because I dont like to smile and always scared what the other person will think, but your video most definitely made me feel alot more comfortable with this transformation.
if someone truly loves you it won't matter
True love is they truly such a thing . Lol 🤣 🤣 hahahaha
Yea I got lucky to have a man who loved me fucked up teeth and all😄 now that I have my implants I honestly believe that the reason he likes them is bc of what they have done to make my life better by making me healthier and seeing me smile more! He always made sure I knew that to him I was beautiful and worth the entire world no matter what my teeth were like, he treated (and still does) like I was very special and like I was a princess but unfortunately, people like him are few and far between and it makes me sad to think about the other people out there who haven't been as lucky in love as me, bc even with his monumental, unwavering support I was still so miserable and afraid of the world and it's judgements; getting asked if I was a meth head was pretty depressing and I know it happened alot more behind my back... He went through hell right along with me bc of how sick and depressed I had gotten and that breaks my heart as much as it left me in awe of his incredible spirit, you know? Now I'm actually afraid that if we have children they could end up with the same condition I have where I was born without any enamel on my teeth so no matter how hard I tried to take care of them, the damage just continued unabated and I can't handle thinking about them, being bullied like I was or the idea of them going through the excruciating pain of exposed nerves, cracks forming, abcesses everywhere and having their teeth turning into a rubbery like substance... Everything is harder to cope with when you have such awful teeth so the idea of rolling the dice just hoping it won't happen to them is just unacceptable to me; nobody deserves it!
rae L. Lucky woman
When I was 27 I dated a girl who was 31. She told me on the second date that she had dentures. I will be honest, she kind of freaked me out a bit. For several minutes I was absolutely certain we would not have a third date. Before the end of the date I changed my mind. It was on my fifth date that I discovered that there was at least one advantage to dating a girl with dentures. My point is that I have discovered in my life that often, something that may seem a disadvantage can often turn out to be an advantage. Ever since I have made a point to be flexible in my perceptions. I would also advise seeking out silver or even gold linings in the clouds you encounter in life.
Sounds like you should’ve let her know on the first date that you were a douche bag.
Hahahahaha you fucking piece of shit hahahahahahahahaha omfg
I would have never knew you had dentures they look so natural. . I hope mine will look that good .. thank you for this video means alot to hear this!.
You're doing an amazing job with all your videos. it's a gift from above. I wrote to you before about sharing my store, but couldn't put my hurts and difficulties in through email. I do need dentures plus I have hair lost issues. At this point I'm losing my house, getting a divorce and been on medical leave for almost 3 years. Medical conditions doesn't help the situation, but I am a strong believer in a higher power. I just wish implants were more affordable. I hear so many dentists speak about no more lose dentures, but when ask thier charging price it's way out of many people League. So as our spoke amazing person you are please express this concern to those dentists you speak too. I have big time phobia of anything to do with mouth in general, so I can imagine myself with removable dentures. I give everyone who wears dentures a praise God... because me I'm still stuck in my ugly smiling not... lol... Thank you Kristi.. God bless you always.
thank you so much for this video and advice..as a single man and getting dentures today i had a lot of questions..this video explained a lot..thank you so much..
5 minutes into this video and yeah I could care less what anybody else think I got divorced 6 years ago and then I lost my tooth my upper about 3 years ago and I was just wondering and it's the first time I've ever typed in dating with dentures so yeah I'm happy I came across your video and thank you very much for the the prep
YES!! Love this! This is all part of the vetting process. Weed out the duds and get to the ones that have substance and care more about you as a whole person.
I'm 64 and just had my upper last 5 teeth removed two days ago. The upper set is ready to go in on Monday or Tuesday. They look a lot like yours. I can't tell just by looking that you have dentures. You are stunning in appearance and to listen to as well. Your speech is flawless and your smile is perfect. Thank you for putting this video up here. I am quite pleased with everything at this point. (You have brilliant eyes too.)
Good luck!!
A beautiful clean smile I am the same good hearted person.Would someone date me with rotten teeth.I have way more confidence now with my new mouth.I would wait till they fall for me then it should not matter.If they are upset then they didn't really care about me 😁
They're very shallow people and move on ... there are still people out there that, know the important part of a person lays within the heart!!
Kristi...great video..but really want to say thank you for the Awesome advice you gave me at my height of frustration!! I was asking you why my Phonares Hybrids were taking So Long, You really put things in Perspective. I guess Good Product takes TIME!! I have just been waiting a year already...Thanks for reminding me..Good things come to those who wait!! Love that ur back...Elise💟
pinky M please let me know when you get them! Really want to know how it works out for you!
You give amazing advice young lady. Very useful and insightful. Don't quite know your situation but your significant other is very lucky. Insight like this overlaps all aspects of life. You most likely are or will be a great Mom too. Thanks, I am 64, just found out I need dentures. I am scared and too self conscious, but these videos help a lot. God Bless.
Thank you for all the advice! This is a challenging yet humbling road!
thank you for this, i just came across it, I've been so self-conscious and worried i havent tried to date for several years.
if someone won't date you because you have dentures, then they are shallow and most definitely not worth your time. luckily my boyfriend doesn't care one way or the other. he just wants me out of pain. I think I have a problem with it more than he does, and it's mostly because I'm terrified they'll look wrong , fake and be extremely uncomfortable. great video, it helps knowing that I'm not alone, especially being a young(ish) female.
I think I am going to get full dentures. My dentist can get me a partial but I need a bunch of fillings, three or four caps. Lots of extractions. My insurance doesn’t cover a lot of that. Full dentures is scary, but I am coming to terms with it. Then I thought about something as I was listening to this video. I have had hearing loss all of my life. I started wearing hearing aids when I was in my late 20’s. I hid them. Nobody in my family was allowed to mention them and I never told anyone outside of my family. Dating was hell. I squealed feedback when anyone got close to my ear. It was just hell for me. I dated for 11 years and a guy finally proposed. I told him there was something about me, he wouldn’t want to marry me. I said the words... hearing aids. He said he already knew and it wasn’t a big deal. It was for me though. I got married still hiding my hearing aids from everyone. Thirteen years later, divorced. During the divorce, I went suddenly deaf. Hearing aids weren’t helping much for awhile, but deaf? I checked out Cochlear implants. I was a good candidate so I got one ear implanted and a year later the second ear. These gadgets are nothing like hearing aid! The good? I can hear almost as good as a person with normal hearing. And they don’t have feedback! The bad? The outside part that I wear on my ear and skull are big. Ugly. There is no way I’m going to hide this! So I reframe how I felt about something that goes on your ears to help you hear. I think my Cochlear implants show I am strong and have courage. If I am brave enough to undergo brain surgery just so I can talk to you, I think that is brave. I had used the same thinking on scars but never realized it. I have a (so far) benign bone tumor disease. I have scars on all my joints, and then some, I stopped counting at 30 surgeries. But I always felt that if I can go through the surgery and that bone tumor was benign - the scar is something to celebrate.
Dating? I am sure I have not been called on a second date, when they caught on that I wore hearing aids or I wore a bathing suit and they saw my scars. But would I want to date someone so shallow anyway? I am looking at dentures the same way. If I have the courage to get my remaining broken, decayed and painful teeth extracted, you danged better be proud of me. Courage is my Superpower. And it is for everyone getting or have dentures, or hearing aids, cane or walker. All of these have a stigma attached to it. People will treat you different. Not because they are horrible people- maybe they just don’t have the confidence to be with someone that is different.
But remember, you faced the unknown with courage. Courage is your superpower.
Glad to see you're back! Great video with good advice! Your teeth look beautiful btw. =D
My husband and I are both getting full restorations done in late March. I am terrified of him seeing me during the procedure. Twenty two years together and this has become the thing that makes me most anxious. I've been watching your videos to help stay calm and informed.
It was always my biggest fear. When I was getting my implants, I was so out of it, I didn't care that he saw. It's still something i'm uncomfortable with, it even makes me uncomfortable that the dentist has to see me without. But you just gotta grin and bear it (well, not literally grin.... though that might be funny lol). Understand that this fear is a personal one and that the people who love and care about you most likely do not see it the same way you do. Just muscle through it and i'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck to both of you!
kalinjax Thank you so much. I honestly don't think I would have made this leap into implants if I hadn't found your videos and watched all of them. You are are an angel.
Thank you for all the information! I have watched your videos from the beginning and you have helped so much. I have one question. Now that cushion grip is off the market is there something to replace it?
Thank you so much,,i need dentures and have been putting off getting my front teeth pulled and your video makes me feel better about getting the process started.You are so pretty and your teeth look amazing!I am single and i cant wait to have a nice smile!
Iam new to dentures being only my 2nd week with them, I'm still very very self conscious I guess cause iv put it off so long and gotten so used to not smiling or people seeing me smile whatsoever, to now having a beautiful smile I feel like iv almost forgotten how to smile or what I even looked like and I'm 35, I'm really hoping I start to feel more comfortable soon. Anyways hope everyone stays safe and has a great week
I was so happy you posted again! even though this video doesn't really apply to me. I had plans to start the process but they fell through. for now I'll keep my natural teeth until we can afford it. the problem is, is that my husband has worked so hard and I've been a stay at home mom and don't feel like I deserve him to pay for my problem. he offered to take a loan on his 401k but I just can't accept that...
I’m totally in panic mode and insecurities that are destroying different areas of my life. I am in recovery from drugs. I have 7 1/2 months clean and sober. I work a 12 step program in AA. I am continually working on myself and will remain teachable my whole life. I’ve built sooo many coping skills, built a huge support group, and are always working on my character defects. One HUGE part of my recovery is getting my teeth fixed my teeth are destroyed and I’m single completely TERRIFIED about dentures. I will get implants one day when I can afford it. I now work at the treatment center I went to, so hopefully i will have credentials soon and will be able to be promoted to be able to pay for implants one day. I’m scared food won’t taste the same, kissing, making out, maintaining them, telling a date, and just about everything there is to ask. I have extreme anxiety and get really depressed at the end of the day a lot about it. I pray all the time to be blessed with getting all this done. I just need some type of support and would love to talk to someone else about this. Thank you for the video, I would love to have updates about my story to help others cause this is so hard to live with.
I think we should change the word “dentures”
I had almost all my teeth out in January it’s now almost March I’m still trying to get used to them. However despite having a great loving and understanding wife I don’t want to kiss because my lips don’t have the right feeling/ sensation 🤷🏻♂️
What I want to know and none of these videos tell me, is can they feel it when they kiss you? I just want to know if he would be able to feel them?
I think dentures are equated with old age, im 57 and have never heard of a young person going through this, you are very beautiful, and i'm happy you have found your smile, i think when we have bad teeth we are less outgoing because we don't want to smile , i mean i think you should inform a person only if you are serious then you should. But when you smile its like you open up and people are drawn to you.
Lol I had a driller that I picked on, I would ask him if he had false teeth and he would say why do you ask that and I would say because they look to perfect and white lol he would just laugh lol
Condier in my perspective that people who don't accept you as you are and could be emotionally unbalanced people and in fact they don't accept you as you are as a person, and they will take advantage, something more positive in this situation, that you can realize who loves you as you are with this problem or who doesn't.... I also have this problem, full dentures, I'm 24 years old, I'm from Romania, I'm young, but I'm glad that I'm healthy and that I didn't die after that infection , I'm a man and I've had complexities, I don't shy away from showing what I am and who I am, it happens, I accept the situation, it's not easy, but it must be accepted, as you say, there are immature people who don't understand the situation and will refuse you just because you had a problem and there are others who are emotionally mature socially and understand the situation and accept you as you are we are organisms our body is not perfect we must understand this
I just found your channel 😀 Im probably going to end up getting my top teeth and possibly the bottoms extracted and getting dentures soon, and Im absolutely terrified. I have terrible teeth, having my 3 kids and being on medication for the last 8yrs that greatly affected my enamel has really destroyed my teeth. Mostly the upper ones and most of the molars on the bottom. So I know what Im facing, but I've been procrastinating about seeing the dentist because I have had some TERRIBLE toothaches/infections before and I know what dental pain feels like and Im not in any hurry to feel that again..but the longer I wait, the worse they get and the more that break and it is to the point where I have to hide my teeth when I talk and I can't smile in public.. It breaks my heart that my kids don't even want their friends over because they don't want them to see my teeth and get teased for it at school. (My oldest-my daughter- is going to 9th grade this fall, my 2nd oldest (boy) is going to middle school and my youngest (boy) is going to 1st grade.. I really want to be able to smile and talk again, and not feel terrible all the time. Im just so afraid of the dentist and how much this process and the procedures are going to hurt!
The hardest thing for me when I had mine was dating. When is the right time to show!! At what point, near bedtime did I put them into soak?! Tough decisions
Thank you for your video kalinjax, If there’s anything you want to know about dental health care, please let me know.I have been a dentist for over 40 years.
I had my uppers done yesterday, and today i can't talk right. I sound stupid, or like a 33yr old with dentures. I'm SOOO scared to see my gf i been avoiding her for 2 days and i can't face her. I'm gonna break it off cuz i can't deal with the embarrassment.
Thank you for the video. I can't believe you are addressing the very anxiety-laden issue I am dealing with. I am soon to be married and worried sick over how I was going to inform him. Thanks much for your suggestions.
By the way, your teeth are beautiful. I have a full top and bottom and am wondering how much it will cost to have what you have. Can you please give me an idea? Who do you recommend I see?
Also, since having my extractions, I do not enjoy eating because I cannot bite down on most foods. So, I mostly order very soft foods when eating out - - mainly soups. This has caused me much depression and shyness. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
Thank you in advance for even taking the time to read this. Ruth
RUTH BROWN congrats on the upcoming wedding! To have something similar to what I have, it averages around $45k. These teeth can be used in several different types of prostheses such as snap in dentures or fully removable dentures. Sometimes, people opt to get just a lower fixed bridge and a removable or snap in upper denture, since it is typically the lower denture that causes the most problems. Aesthetically, they all will look the same, just function a little differently. I've linked Ivoclar's website in the description box. They have a search feature which can help you locate labs in your area that use Ivoclar products. Give the nearest lab a call and ask for their top five dentist recommendations. The teeth used in my hybrids here are the Phonares teeth and can be used in any prosthesis. As far as eating with what you have, have you had a recent reline or adjustment to make sure they are fitting properly? For me, I just practiced a lot by eating challenging food until I got used to it.
I watch the show Botch, I give no judgement. It will give you a different prospective about people and the imperfection of humans trying to be perfect.
