I have had a denture for the last 10 years - there are two teeth on it. I hate the denture with a passion. It makes my mouth sore, and comes loose when I eat bread or cake. I've also got a slight lisp. It was, admittedly, a basic NHS denture.
Fast forward to now, and I'm in a financial position to update the denture. Implants are out of the question as the scan I've had confirms I would need a bone graft and sinus lift (costing £7000!). So I have two choices...
I can have a four tooth bridge, costing £2800. The downside of this is that the dentist would have to drill and adapt a perfectly good tooth to anchor it. With my teeth in such bad shape, it seems criminal to willfully drill into a good tooth.
My other option is a Valplast flexible denture. Apparently these fit like a glove, don't slip and you hardly know you have them. This sounds too good to be true and I wondered if anyone on mn would share their experience. This denture will cost about £1000.
