I would go back and see if an adjustment can be made to the present temporary. ( even 2 or 3 times......adjustments are free!) The sooner your brain gets used to the feel and gets rid of that "big" feeling the better. The longer it is left the harder it will become as the mouth and especially the tongue gets used to the extra space.

Just as you are at present adapting your speech with no teeth then you will have to re adapt to speaking with dentures. Certain sounds are formed around the space left which at present is greater than when the plate is present.

Don't confuse root canal and post crowns with implants. Totally different so are not to be discounted. The success rate is fantastic and I have seen many patients confidence restored by having them after years of normal denture struggles.

If you do return for an adjustment do try and wear for a short time as it will give an indication to the dentist where to adjust.
