My wife got her dentures yesterday. I’m not sure if I had just gotten used to her w/o top teeth for the past 3 weeks, but her new dentures look kind of big, and give her a bit of an overbite. She hates them, and is hopeful that her dentist will be able to make adjustments.
I told her that they don’t look bad, and that of course they’ll take some getting used to, but she’s not buying it. She thinks she looks like a horse, but I tell her not to be silly…horses have hairier faces.
What can I say to make her feel better about her new dentures? Dentured dopers, did your’s fit on the first try? What sort of adjustments needed to be made, if any?
Just, out of the blue, sometime when you’re chatting about something else and there’s a little pause in the conversation, say, “You know, you’re really pretty.” Bonus points if you can put on a dreamy puppy-love expression when you say it. It’s one thing to compliment her when she’s asking you how her dentures look, but compliments seem so much more sincere when they are not prompted by anything. Oh, and note that it’s not “Your dentures are pretty,” either. 
Don’t say anything. Don’t remark on them at all. Don’t stare.
She’ll pick up on your lack of comment and say “why haven’t you said anything” at which point you can say “oh. well, there really isn’t much to say. you’re just as beautiful as you always have been to me.”
Very sneaky, and very stupid, but her being a woman, she’ll fall for it hook line and sinker.
