Posted on here for traffic really.
Unfortunately it looks as though I will shortly be losing a tooth. 
It is one of my front teeth so obviously I want to fill the gap.
The dentist said that I would have to wear a temporary "immediate" denture for 3 - 6 months after the extraction until the gum had healed and everything had shrunk in to shape. After that I can consider the permanent options (permanent denture, bridge or implant) but for the first few months it has to be this denture.
So I am not talking a full plate here just an individual tooth. However, I have never had one and don't know anyone who has who I can ask.
Basically I am wondering how long it takes to get used to it? Is it difficult to eat normally at first? Are they easy to put in and take out and how do you make them stay in?
