i have a denture but it was NHS and is made of hard plastic……i only need it for my lower right molars as they are all gone…..
i would like a soft plastic one that hugs the mouth and is not so awkward but they are not available on the NHS
what would this be likely to cost?
Thank You
Hi, I lost both my upper front teeth nearly two years ago and have had several removed from further back. I have had two dentures made, both make me feel physically sick and effect me everyday. They hurt constantly and I can’t wait to get home and take them out. Everyone I have spoken to do not have this problem.
I want to go back to my dentist and ask for a dental bridge, which has never been offered to me. I am only 45 and this seriously effects me professionally and personally. I receive NHS dentistry and wonder if I could insist on a bridge.
At my wits end, thank you so much for your help.
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?
Hi Sunita
Im a 22 year old female with a problem thats dragging me further and further downwards, my teeth.
I broke my front two when i was younger and through various negligence from dentists and my parents they were never sorted. I did have a cap on the front left one, but it broke and im now stuck with a denture with two teeth on as the whole was so big for one tooth to go back there, thats what the denture dentist told me. Now thed tooth next to it (the other broken one) is chipped,discolored and looks awful.
As i have never been able to eat using my front teeth, ive always had to use my back ones which has put extra strain on the,m, so there now starting to break away and cause me aggony. I hate the way they look and the restictions they are putting on my life. Ive been asked to do modeling but i will not put my self through the embarresment of the rejection agaisnt all those other girls. Im so down about this and i need help,
I live on my own, no financial help or anything, i do work though but all the prices i have been looking at are way more than i can even image paying, i dont know what to do anymore!!
15 years ago i used a teeth whitening set with gum shield at home, but my teeth didn’t go whiter, they went darker so i used more and more of these whitening sets, my teeth ended up falling apart and my problems started. Now 15 years on i am now 31, i have 5 caps on my front teeth, 7 missing teeth and all my teeth are black, and i mean black, the more i brush them the smaller they are getting, also when i had the caps fitted to my front teeth they are the wrong size and angle so i can not bite anything at all with my front teeth, i also can not eat using my side teeth as i don’t have any teeth on the bottom of one side, and the teeth on the other side are breaking apart as i have chewed on the same side for almost 15 years, i have my health visitor coming to see our baby and she has already sent me to the doctors 6 times as she thinks i am starving myself, i am not starving myself though i simply can not eat, i have lived off soups and soft sandwiches for years now and am very thin. also as my teeth are a horrible colour i do not have any photos of myself at all for the past 15 years, not one wedding photo and none at all with our 3 children, this is destroying my life. i am an NHS patient as i can not even begin to afford private work with the amount i need done, i wanted to ask what are my options? do i qualify for a set of false teeth so i can eat and smile again? i know i’m young for false teeth but i don’t know of any other way, i just can not believe i have destroyed my teeth by trying to make them better, i had no problems at all untill i used the teeth whitening product all those years ago, can you suggest anything at all please?
i visit the dentist every 6 months my dentist retired so had to get a new one . was very distressed when he said i had gum discese i have lost 3 teeth to this and are in the process of losing my bridge which i will now have to have a set of dentures would it be possible to have flexible dentures i will only have 3 upper teeth i have all my bottom teeth
what is the best option to keep upper denture in firm position. would like to know more about mini implants for upper denture . have already got lower implants securing lowerset.which were very expensive in 2000.
hi is there any way i can have all top and bottom teeth done so there fixed and wont come out i currently have a situation where i have a couple of bottom teeth and cople of top teeth i currently wear a plate with most of my top teeth on but am finding it embarressing as i need to use fixedent to hold it in place but it regualy comes loose i just want all teeth replacing is there a way i can do this under some kind of price plan.
I have just picked up my new dentures. They are a 7 tooth front top bridge on a chrome platform. They look awful, dont fit and hurt me. I was told to go away and let them bed in for 3 to 4 days. After 4 hours I have raging toothache as I am sure the tooth to the side of the bridge is being pushed sideways and the chrome plate comes nowhere near the roof of my mouth. I cant eat, cant smile and cant talk. What am I to do, I am beside myself with worry.
I got denture in upper front and i would like to have a replacement ( 4 teeth )
