I have dentures and is it possible to whiten my teeth along with my denture

Q. I have dentures on my upper left side from where I had a malignant tumour removed (I have no natural gum in that area) I would like to get my teeth whitened, will I be able to get the false teeth also whitened or will I require new dentures to get a match? I am 27 years old & had the dentures when I was 16 (after failed implants), I see that they go up at an angel which is very noticeable to me when I smile. Even after many reconstructive surgeries my face is still lowered and uneven in the area where support is gained from the false gums, would I be able to regain symmetry & make it less visible with a better denture? What if any of these procedures would I be able to get on the NHS? Many thanks for your time, I look forward to your response.

A. Hi You would need the teeth whitened then new dentures to match. It might be worth seeing your consulant oral surgeon to see if they can arrange the new teeth on the NHS
