The pain will depend on how difficult your teeth are to extract, and how many you have to have pulled at once. The new way of thinking is that a treatment denture that is put in right away acts as a band-aid to help control the bleeding and swelling. In addition you will get accustomed to dentures quicker and be ready for a set of custom made dentures sooner than if you go without a treatment denture. You will probably be given pain pills and instructions to help with the pain and healing. Follow them closely, and keep a good attitude. The pain of extractions is nothing like the pain from an abscess or infected tooth. Stay positive that this will be a better solution. Many people are back to work in 2 or 3 days and report very little problems. You may just be one of those.

You aren't going to want to do it this way. It takes some time for the swelling to go down after the extractions, and if you have the dentures fitted right away they will not fit right.
Not only will you have to have them re-made (expensive) but it doesn't matter because you will be too sore to use them anyway.
The pain will be a lot more bearable if you don't put hard plastic dentures on top of open wounds, which is what you are talking about doing.
Good luck!
