What is your opinion on flexible dentures?

Monday, April 19th, 2010
Q.
Last December my bridge failed, since then I have had an acrylic denture to replace my upper left 1 and upper right 1,2, & 3. I find the denture uncomfortable and it moves around too much. After a consultation at the Bristol Dental hospital a new upper partial cobalt chrome denture was recommended which would also include upper right 6 &7 which have been missing now for some years.

A.
Yes smoothing the chips is an … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
