Such gag reflexes may be related to infection and irritation in the vagus nerve or glossopharengeal nerve. If you have had any ear,nose or throat infections before you started experiencing such gags then there is a high possibility that any such infection would have irritated your nerve and if not also you should consult a neurologist and get yourself examined. Regarding the denture i am surprised that you had no complains in the process of denture construction but yes you can rule out with your dentist that it is not overextending towards your throat, though since you have gag anyways even if it is not extending its the nerve trouble so get that right.
