Former dental phobic here - amazing what a kind and gentle dentist can do but sadly he's moved away from my town now. My new dentist is also very nice so no problem there.
I had immediate dentures - had them now for a year and I'm getting the permanent ones made at the moment.
My question is, are NHS dentures as good as private dentures?
The reason I'm asking is that I had the wax try-ins today. My immediate dentures have three teeth (centre) on the lower plate. The wax try-ins had only two and it looked terrible - made my bottom lip sink in and aged me by about 10 years. Dentist has said they will put in three teeth and has taken an impression of my lower denture to get it right.
Was wondering if this is the NHS's new way of saving money - less teeth in the plate
