I would like to have Valplast dentures are they suitable for my situation

Q. Hi please can you help me i had a bridge that broke along lefted bottom side of my mouth five teeth i now have to have a partial as i cannot afford implants the partial hurts so very much it has a metal bar behind my natural front teeth and then the five false ones on one side and the a false one on the other,i have been back to my dentist but can only ever get appointments once every 4months but he said it would be better for me to have a private denture but would it be any different to a nhs one if i got a new one made,i heard him mention acrylic but that is what i have got i just dont want to waste money that i have got for a private one.Also i really wanted a valplast one do you think that would be possible being that i have five teeth missing on same side. thank you so much for you advice

A. It is difficult to advise you without seeing you.  A lot of patients like valplast dentures as they are more flexible.  It sound like implants would be your best option.  If you can’t afford all of them it might be an option to have 2 placed and then a denture made which clips onto the implants.  Your new denture would be much more secure and thinner.
