I’d Like To Know Of Any Other Material That Dentures Can Be Made From. My Plastic Denture Makes Me Gag.
Q.
Hi I have really bad stage of gum disease and I just can’t bring myself to go to the dentist to have them removed the thought of false teeth worries the life out of me I’m not sure how I would get on with them, I already have a partial denture which I have had for three years and have never got used to it, as soon as I put them in my mouth I just gag. I have tried sucking sweets, breathing in and out slowly but I just really start to panic. The hard plastic just feels horrible, Is there any false teeth that’s made from other material to plastic. Also what price do they range from and how do I find a really good dentist I live in my area?

Long term you may want to consider dental implants to help assist in retaining your dentures or possibly replacing them altogether.
