I recently had a full pair of dentures made.
Went through all the different steps.
Went to have them fitted, and went home. When I got home I had problems eating and talking clearly without a lisp (I don’t normally have lisp).
I noticed that the top teeth overshot my own incisors. This caused my tongue to stick on my top lip sometimes when talking and my bottom lip was becoming bruised when I was to eat.
When my jaws were closed I could poke the tip of my tongue between the incisors on my top dentures and my own incisors.
When eating a banana I took a bite and when I looked at piece left in my hand there was a bite mark one quarter of an inch further down the banana.
Met with the dentist and advised her of the problem. She said it was my fault I had not bitten normally when the impression was taken.
I remember when the wax impression was put in my mouth she had me bite about five times into the wax. How could I have bitten incorrectly on 5 occasions?
I went back to the dentist and met with her and the technician. He could see the problem and took some more impressions.
I have now been told I have to pay more money to have the tope dentures corrected/remade.
Is this fair?
Is this correct?
Apparently the dentist is making no extra charge it’s the technician is charging the extra money. The dentists assures me it’s my fault, due to an incorrect bite, she says this has happened many times before to her with other patients.
I feel I am being blackmailed. If I don’t pay the extra money, then the teeth will not be corrected.
Without this work being done then I will not be able to talk or eat correctly with the new dentures.
I would be pleased to receive readers views on this situation.
Thanks for reading.
