Foxman, I have never heard of a denturist not doing false teeth because the taste buds are gone.

At first, food may not taste the same as the denture temporarily interferes with your taste buds. However as the majority of the taste buds are located on the tongue, eventually everything will begin to taste as it should. It is also a good idea to be wary of very hot food and drinks as your ability to sense the heat may be affected.

Go to another denturist, one who is more reasonable.

That was ridiculous for him to say that.

Tick

Did the dentist refer your wife to another doctor? I have never heard of dentures not being made for that reason either. Your wife may have geographic tongue which is not a reason for not being able to make dentures.
How did your wife lose her weight? Has she been ill?
I'd suggest you take your wife to another dentist.

Hi, floss, nice to see you posting. We can only hope the OP comes back on to access this information. This type of post always bother me, i.e. misinformation, not enough questions asked and then they come here because they are not informed.
