i was given a denture but i have a dreadful problem with wretching what are my options?

Q. I had a front tooth removed 2 weeks ago and was given a denture plate but i have had dreadful problems with wretching. I don’t feel sick and can keep the plate in from 8.00 – 4.00 but after this i immediately begin to ‘Gag’. My NHS dentist says i can’t have a bridge because one of the supporting teeth is not strong enough. I cannot live my professional life like this. The doctor has prescribed ciclizine, but i can’t see that this will work. In fact neither can she. What are my options? I am willing to go privately.
