I never imagined there could be dentures this wonderful!
When I was 33 years old, I lost all of my teeth except for the lower front ones. At the time, I was so chagrined that I thought I was better off dead.
The first dentures I had made were covered by insurance. The front teeth were so large that it hurt to leave them in. In addition, the lower partial dentures didn't fit and I had to go in for adjustments time and time again. At last, I decided to give up on dentures completely. I couldn't enjoy meals and I gradually lost weight. I even was admitted to the hospital due to malnutrition and weakness.
While in the hospital, I had a set of dentures made by the oral surgeon thinking, 'for the time being they will do'. This time the teeth were too small. In fact, you couldn't even see my front teeth. Even still, I used them anyways. A short time after I was remitted, I began to have trouble again with not being able to bite into hard things, having my dentures fall out when biting with my front teeth, and everyone being able to tell I have dentures because of the visible metal springs.
It was so trying that I decided to search the internet for a place that would make me a better set of dentures. I came across Inaba Dental Office over and over again. After thoroughly reading the contents of your homepage, I decided that I wanted new dentures, and then asked my mother and began counseling with Dr. Inaba.
I was able to tell Dr. Inaba about my anxieties and all the inconveniences I had been through up until now. She told me my next set of dentures would solve my problems and so I stopped worrying.
I had Strack dentures made for my upper jaw and Riegel telescope dentures made for my lower jaw. Both are systems developed in Germany.
When I finally tried eating with them, I was amazed that no food got stuck! At first they were a little tight, but I was able to have them adjusted. In the 2 weeks after my dentures were completed, I have had the doctor make time for me to have them adjusted 8 times. 'You will get used to them as you wear them.' Of course I believe the doctor, but every time I would sing (I love to sing), my full dentures on the upper jaw would fall out. Each time that happened I was able to have my dentures quickly adjusted. The doctor must have been sick of me since I mailed her saying, 'It hurts there', 'It hurts here' many times hoping to get this problem taken care of. She always responded with, 'It's OK', which really put me at ease.
The last time I went in to get them adjusted, I had the Riegel telescope lever fixed (It was hard to manipulate the lever with my finger) because it was hard to get the dentures off. For my lower teeth, the front teeth are acting as the support for my dentures. And they never fall out! I can eat anything with them, even the hardest foods.
At night when I go to bed, I wash them up real nice, put them back in, and sleep with them in. They don't feel awkward at all. I never imagined there could be dentures so wonderful. 'It will take some time to get used to them.' That is what the doctor told me, but I was able to eat normally from the first day that I had them put in. Of course I eat many various types of food. There isn't the slightest awkwardness at all.
At first, I had a hard time pronouncing my words, but after about 2 weeks, I got used to it. My whole family was surprised after the 8th adjustment. My upper jaw Strack dentures stopped falling out when I sang, and the lower Riegel telescope dentures stopped feeling awkward.
I am most grateful for how quickly the doctors took care of me and treated me politely. There is no dental clinic like this one. They even had reassuring words for people like me with anxiety and for that I am very grateful.
I am sure that I will be able to use dentures made at Dr. Inaba's place for many years. I am looking forward to using them for that long. I have regained the ability to smile with my mouth wide open. My whole family tells me that they look like my real teeth. I actually enjoying showing the off to people. I will use them to eat plenty of delicious food and regain my health!
Even my mother who hates dentists says, 'If I get cavities I'll have them taken care of at Dr. Inaba's place'. Thank you so much. I look forward to your extended care.
