I have had full upper arch restoration done in Budapest

Q. I have had full upper arch restoration done in Budapest (no implants). She also extracted 5 lower arch teeth, leaving me with LL7 LR7 as anchors hopefully, then 2 or 3 remaining teeth (2 crowned already) including LL2 and LR2. So I have that central gap. Unfortunately she made the temporary dental plate BEFORE extractions and it is a bad fit; I have been able to adjust it quite a lot myself by filing with my pedicure kit! (NOT rocket science) and it didn’t really require the metal sides as the only difference it made was discomfort! I am really unable to eat with this present as it stands too “PROUD” and my tongue gets lacerated. I was very happy with the restoration work on the upper arch however. My question is mainly, is it still cost effective to return in 8 weeks or so to complete this treatment as I am definitely going to need an interim made in the meantime. Will a dentist here be able to adjust the current temporary? What is the general cost of a partial plate with 8 units on it? I would want the permanent one made in conjunction with crowns to my existing teeth, meaning 7 crowns in addition. The cost of the upper crowns and bridges, 5 extractions, 3 posts, temporary plate was aro

A. Only you can judge whether it is cost effective or not to go back to Budapest. If you have your dental treatment carried out abroad this is one of the drawbacks.
If you go to a dentist in this country, then your treatment would definately be more expensive but it may balance out with the cost of the travel.
A dentist here probably may be able to adjust the denture that you have if it is too proud, your difficulty will be finding a dentist that will do it for you if you are not registered with them. I would persevere and go back to your dentist in Budapest.
In this country a private denture would cost between £800- £1200
Kind regards
