In November I received my partial dentures (NHS) they are terrible and have affected my speech which is terribly embarassing in my job as a legal secretary - my head of department even asked in all seriousness if i had had a stroke!!!! I went back to my dentist at least 8 times to get them adjusted and the last time I went he said there was really nothing that could be done as I had a very high palate and what I needed was a Cobalt Chrome dentures but that unfortunately the NHS did not pay for these and I would have to pay private rates for these. Is there anyway the NHS would pay for even part of the costs? He said it would be £600 for the top and £400 for the bottom which is terribly expensive. Is there any help to be had?
