Been there, done that, stevestar. I bet it feels like a lump of rock in your mouth at the moment, but be patient. I seem to remember that they will begin to fit better when the swelling from the extraction goes down.

I have had mine for years and the denture plate seem to sit in the hollow of the roof of my mouth. Takes a bit of getting used to.
