I had 55 HBO last year. That was due to not recovering from my second round of OC very well. This year, I have had 20 before the dental extractions and currently doing minimum 10 after. In my case, the answer to your denture question is unfortunately no, I will not be fitted for dentures for at least 6 months. Healing takes much longer for OC patients. It cant be rushed or complications could happen like ORN.
