Partial Denture

[Johnuk]

Hi

I unfortunately have to have a 4 tooth partial denture where 2 teeth need to be extracted. I am being told that in 6 Months this partial denture will need to be replaced as my gums will shrink? . At £765 per denture is this necessary, cant the first denture be adjusted?

Many Thanks in advance

John

Good day

If this is a plastic or acrylic denture, they can reline the denture in order to "add" plastic in the areas where gum and bone resorption took place. This should not cost as much. If it is a metal chrome denture, this might not be possible. Discuss a reline option with your dentist.
