I Have Worn Dentures For Over Fifty Years But I’m Not Happy With The Texture Of My New Flexible Dentures. Could I Have Them Polished?

Thursday, February 20th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I currently have a top set (8 teeth) of flexible dentures, they have a strange texture and seem furry to me. They make eating most food quite an unpleasant experience. Can they be polished or are all flexible dentures like this? I have worn dentures for over fifty years so I am not a novice with dentures I have had several sets of cobalt dentures which I have been pleased with, but needing new dentures I have read good reports about the flexible dentures but now I really regret not going for the cobalt ones. Thank you for taking the time and listening to my problem.

I don’t want dentures on my top and bottom teeth, what are my options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Have dentures on top. Lower teeth are killing me, gum trouble. Broken down teeth in back. A few missing. What are my options? Do not want dentures on bottom. Can barely stand the ones on top. On the bottom I have in the front, like 4 or 5 teeth. Then on both sides, some missing, then molars on both sides are broken down and in bad shape. Lots of pain. Isn’t there a way to adhere the denture so it will stay in? Or could it be possible for me to get a partial on the left and on the right, and then do something with the few teeth I have left in front?

Can I get implants done on NHS to replace uncomfortable dentures?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
I have recently recieved dentures to fill the gaps in missing teeth but these are causing problems. They are uncomfortable to the point of painful and impair my speech. Although I have most of my front teeth left it is hard to chew food properly. As I have colitus it puts my digestive system under more pressure to digest the semi-chewed food.
