Hi

Thanks for the query

It can take for about 4-5 days for the gum swelling to reduce.
But even then the anatomy inside the mouth can change and the denture might not fit which was made with previous measurements. So first of all you should get a clinical examination done by your Dentist so that he can look the level of inflammation and swelling and if you need antibiotics for the same. Also doing cool compresses over the gums or cool water rinses can help in improvement.

Do not forcefully put the denture inside mouth as it can injure your gums..

Hope this helps.

Regards.
