Question:
I'm a veteran and get my dental work done for free.
However I recently let one of their dentists grind on my upper plate right in the middle on the very top of the denture in front. She ground out an area about 1/8th an inch wide and about 3/16th of an inch down. It made the denture almost impossible to use without pain.
The denture really wasn't bad at all till this was done. Can the area she ground away be put back, Kinda a patch job? ... Visitor from OK
Answer:
Ask the dentist to do a "chairside reline". That will repair the damage and make the denture fit properly.
My concern is that "free" dentists typically do as little work as possible and they may not wish to take the time to help you.
