Q.
I thought I would let you know that I have had both upper and lower Valplast partial dentures fitted. They fit perfectly and feel very comfortable in my mouth. I have been able to retain my normal diet and my whole face feels rejuvinated and most importanly I have my smile back. I have read these forums for sometime now and would like to stress that implants are not essential. I have found it very annoying reading that members of the panel continually try to ‘hard sell’ impants and dismiss going for conventional dentures at every opportunity they get. Not everyone is a candidate for implants and not everyone can afford them. Furthermore, there are far worse complications with implant failure than denture failure. If there is a good understanding between patient, dentist and the lab then dentures can be successful. I wish the board would embrace this more with the users of this forum and stop condemming dentures and realise that with good care and planning, dentures can work for people.
