Has anyone ever had one removed? I guess I need to- so that
my upper denture will fit better.

My dad and uncle both had them on the bottom...anything particular I should ask them for you?

Courtenaynt,
Thank you but mine is on the roof of the mouth and would probably be different than theirs. I was wondering how long I'd be without my upper denture, and basically how long the healing process took. I haven't been to my oral surgeons consult yet- and my dentist wasn't sure. I am just fretting over the thought of having this done. :)
