Painful root canal experience lead to partial upper dentures which wobble and cause discomfort.

Q.
Hi I hope you can help me with my problem. After a very painful experience of a root canal, i ended up loosing two teeth and have had partial upper dentures made. I have just recieved my new partial upper denture ( two teeth attatched ). This is the second set made as the first was so bad, I find that they wobble up and down each side. when i bite one side goes up the other down, visa versa. I tried to eat with them and the food just lodged behind one of the teeth. It was very nasty. Should i go back as i dont believe they fit correctly and its causing me a lot of discomfort.
A.
I would recommend that you either go back or go for a second opinion. For the best results choose a dentist who has a lot of experience in dentures or who has very high qualifications in that field. An implant retained option may be possible for you to achieve a higher level of satisfaction but please discuss all the options open to you with your dentist or the next dentist you choose to get advice from

Regards
