My lower denture doesn’t fit comfortably. Can I request a new one?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
Ten months ago I had a partial lower denture made, my dentist recently had to file the denture to make it more comfortably, now it is too loose and wil not fit properly. I am about to have an upper partial denture made to replace a crown that fell out that can’t be replaced.

Are dentures the only option to fix my teeth? I don’t want dentures as I am only 35!

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
Hi. I have had problems with my teeth for many years. It all started when I went to my dentist when I was about 14 with crooked teeth at the front. My parents were advised that my back teeth were not strong enough for the type of braces that were available then and he said my teeth would straighten up when I got older. Bad dentist. I am now 35 and have many problems with my teeth and its just getting worse. I dont drink or take drugs, I work hard and clean my teeth as well as I can but with the problems I have its just getting worse. I now have some missing teeth, underbite and many more problems. I would love to be able to smile again without feeling ashamed. The price for sorting out my teeth is totally unaffordable. I dont earn enough to get the financing from the dentist. I cant get any help with that either. My only option is to go for dentures which I really dont want at 35 ! Do I have any other choices ?I would be very grateful for any advice you may have.,

My husband has tried dentures but has a fear of gagging. Is there any way he can get implants for missing teeth?

Monday, October 11th, 2010
Q.
My partner has been without teeth at all for the past 10 years, he has tried using dentures but has a phobia of gagging and cannot stand the stress of the appointments. He has social anxiety disorder and agrophobia brought on by his low self esteem due to having no teeth. He is 36 years old would he be eligible for treatment on the NHS. I have checked the schooling websites and they do not offer implants. He feels that implants would be the only way to get teeth and be able to get his life back on track. Thanks.,
