IT sounds like either dentures or implants are your only 2 options. Implants can work out quite expensive but can be the best option for fixed teeth. Alternatively you could seek out a dentist who could try to make a better set of dentures for you, probably privately?

I have one implant at the top centreand only seven teeth at the top Ihave had all the bottom teeth taken out and was supplied with dentures that I cannot wear due to illfitting ane fact that they tend to fall out when I eat can anything be done?
I would advise you to see your nearest Dentist. You might need to replace your current denture to one that fit you alot better.
Hi, I’ve had a marlyn bridge done for two missing upper lateral incisor teeth. The procedure was done two years ago in the states, and has now surprisingly broken. There is a crack in the bond on the right and the left toothhas completely broken out. I feel it has come to the point of emergency asI am now gluing my tooth in with denture glue. As I am now living in London it’s complicated going back to fix it. I was wondering if you do and repair procedures such as this, and what options I have with American insurance. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you
Hello. Last week I had new full upper and lower dentures fitted for the first time. However, I am having great difficulty keeping them in my mouth as I have a mild form of Cerebral Palsy. My tongue is partially paralysed and I lack muscular co-ordination.
I am feeling rather distraught. I have read that in exceptional circumstances the NHS would allow people to qualify for free dental implants. Do I have a case? Thanks.
