Anyone wearing an NHS partial denture? help please

[Ziggy44]

Hi, Current situation is I need two front bottom teeth extracting and a partial denture, one of those teeth has really bad gum recession, so the gum has gone down a fair bit compared to the other one. This partial will also have to go in and out right next to a free floating tooth on an existing bridge, the dentist said the partial may stress that bridge tooth

Initially I asked about a private denture (it is a mixed practice) but was told to go with an NHS partial to begin with as the gums will shrink after a few months.

I wanted to ask if anyone here had an NHS denture and could share your experience please? likewise, also if anyone has a partial next to a dental bridge?

Many thanks

My NHS partial was fine, but was just for one tooth and not next to a bridge.
The partial I just paid £600 for privately before a bridge has been awful. Hideous shape, painful, and I couldn’t eat in it because it gave me such an open bite. I’d say it depends how good the lab is, not how much you pay for it.
