As said, I received a temporary full upper denture, ready made which went straight in after extraction. Then some while later the permanent one, once the gums had settled.
It certainly felt absolutely massive in my mouth, but once in it felt stable and looking in the mirror my face looked fine. My dentist said to persist with it, keep it in all the time, it would settle in and begin to feel normal - He was right.
The gums do shape themselves some way to conform to fit a denture, so keeping it in despite how it feels, helps.
