Will bad impressions ruin a denture?

Yesterday I had an appointment to get impressions made for dentures. Which i will be getting in 5 days. Super nervous! Anyways.. I\'m scared I messed the impressions up. They filled this tray with goop and made me bite down on it. The first and second time failed because I gagged uncontrollably since the goop was seeping out of the tray and down my throat. The third time was success. My dentist had used less goop and didn\'t push the tray all the way to the roof of my mouth that way it didn\'t seep out like it did previously. Once the impressions were complete the guy who makes the dentures said the impression was too shallow. Because it wasn\'t pushed to the roof of my mouth. The assistant said the guy was a drama queen and the impressions were fine. And not to worry. I\'m scared though that if he thought the impressions were too shallow that the denture might not be the right size/fit. do you think my \'shallow\' impression will effect how my denture is made or looks?
