What sort of dentures do you recommend flexible denture or metal one?

Q. Dear Dr Caplin In February this year I had two teeth removed from upper left plus the front two. THis left me with 6 missing teeth. I have been quite fortunate in recieving a NHS denture that fits fairly well. However I find eating awful – the plastic teeth give a rotten sensation. My question/s is what would you recommend- a flexible denture or metal one? Are the teeth always made from plastic? I dont really want to go down the route of implants – costs, nerves etc. Please can you recommend me a dentist near to where I live in Bognor REgis. What roughly would the cost be? Thank you for your time. Kind REgards 

A. Unfortunately I cannot recommend dentists specifically and prices vary depending on the dentists experience, location etc.  However I would always recommend a metal denture as they are more stable and slimmer.
