About 5 years ago just had a car accident and my front top 4 teeth gad to be removed. I started with a plastic particularl top plate dentures, I have a. Very heavy bight so ,my dentist made a metal one, no problems, but after 5 years the denture needs replacing, so I had one made but it doesnt fit right, it rocks, i can't eat with it, so I'm still using my old denture from 5 years ago, my dentist wknt nake another on the NHS and says I'd have to pay 450quid, in don't think I should have to pay, even if I did shouldn't it be band 3 on NHS which is about 320quid not 450quid

Personally I don't see why you should have to pay for another if the one they made doesn't fit right.
But I have no expert knowledge. Perhaps you should post this in the General health topic where dentists and those with expertise might see your thread and advise you.
There was a thread in site stuff last week by someone whom wanted a specific thread for dental issues and I think your thread goes a long way to
justifying that.

Why does the first one need replacing?

Are the dentures immediates because if they were your gums will have changed shape a lot as they healed so needing new permanent ones was always going to be needed.
