I need a second opinion.
6 months ago I was advised to have 5 teeth removed on my upper mouth as crowns had come badly adrift and also there were 2 abscesses .The dentures I have been given a) are so much bigger than my previous denture and as a family we all have small teeth so now I have a mouthful of huge teeth.
b) they are so loose I have to use copious amounts of strong fixative . The dentist says my mouth is too small to have flanges on the left hand side so it just doesn’t stay in.
c) She had another one made but it was worse than the first on , looser and teeth even longer.
This process has so far taken 6 months and we are still not sorted.She keeps blaming the technician.
Am I being unreasonable to have expected this process to be done in a much shorter time and to have teeth which fit?This is private work.

Is it correct to have a new denture made because my current one doesn’t fit correctly?

i had a missing front tooth, then i had a from tooth extraction 2 weeks ago with a denture fitted immediately,it does not fit right in my mouth. when first fitted couldnot remove it went back to denist he then made it very loose ,i have been back today to tell him that its still not right and he told me to leave it 6 weeks and that i cannot have another 1 made is this right .because i am currenlty exempt from paying for my treatment. i really don’t know what else to do.
