Well, I'm sure they'll have to do a fair bit of gingivoplasty/alveoplasty which basically means reshaping the gums & bone so that there no sharp bony edges or protruding gums anywhere. This is all meant to have the dentures fit better later on but like I said, it's iffy whether that'll happen.
Antibiotics and a prescription mouthwash may be used and that'll help the healing process. You should wear the dentures after the extractions b/c the compression will reduce swelling.
Not much else to do... just be patient and don't expect miracles.
