Can I have my dentures realigned to make them straight again?
Q.
I am 56 years of age and have had dentures since I was 21 I have been to the dentist today for a check up and to ask if my dentures could be relighned but was informed that it would be a waste of money as it would not make any improvement as I have no bone structure at all on my lower jaw and she suggested an inplant to reconstruct the jaw in order for me to wear dentures without them moving around my mouth but this would be at a cost of between £3,000 to £4,000 I cannot possibly afford this as I am on benefits. I am really depressed can you tell me anything different?

Unfortunately without dental implants to stabilise your denture you will still get movement in your denture. You could ask your dentist to make you a new one it might give you some improvement.
