    My DH's top teeth are false and he urgently needs a new set/plate or whatever it is called!

    He got his present ones at the dental hospital in CUH but they never fitted comfortably and now they keep slipping after only about 2 and a half years. He has decided to replace them but does not know where to start looking.

    Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated as he's at his wit's end with these ones!

    why not try the dental hospital again? he may just need to get them relined. if there's something wrong with the dentures then he should go back and get them sorted. happens all the time.
    + as far as i know, full dentures are free there.

    I don't think he will go back to the Dental Hospital, Ballsymchugh.

    He should really have gone back a couple of months after they were fitted, when he first realised that there was something wrong with them.

    Now it's probably too late as the dentures didn't line up properly with his lower teeth and the plate is now almost worn away on both sides, from his lower teeth hitting it when he eats.

    I know it's his own fault for not dealing with it at the time!

    it's never too late. there's no point in him going around with uncomfortable dentures and the students will need patients too.

    it'd be easy to get back in for the new groups in august or september.
