- Going private for a set of dentures is going to cost you more but what is the difference? While budget dentures will still do the job, there are differences in the manufacturing process and the materials. This ultimately makes a difference to how they will feel in your mouth, how they look and how long they will last. In this film, Simon from Bridge Dental Smiles in Telford, Shropshire meets Stuart who demonstrates the whole process of making a set of private dentures.

I'm a Dental tech.in Canada working at a Denture Clinic.We use the same materials on all our dentures so the quality is all the same.I usually spend more time on more expensive dentures with carving the the root structure etc.but as far as materials we use the highest quality for every denture.
I’ve had my ‘temporary’ dentures for 14 years 😂 they look real & work great
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all afford the sparkly dentures
the real difference they are not telling you, is set one are acrylic teeth, and set two, are porcelain teeth. yes the acrylic wears faster but its much kinder to your jaw. less damage over time, the porcelain teeth are not forgiving, you can also use a combination, using softer plastic for biting surface teeth, (posteriors) and porcelain for anterior, aka front 6 teeth.. that way you keep a beautiful smile and the posteriors wear out and can be replaced. What is really disturbing to me is that the costs are not that far apart, being a dentist in America is basically a license to steal.
I found out I'm SEVERLY allergic to acrylic and I had paid 3000 and that was for temperate teeth. I found that out when they were doing impressions. So I got back 1599 out of 3000. And I only wore them home the day they did them and my mouth , tongue esphogas to stomach was on fire and burning. I have damage but who was to know. This may be off subject but when they put the impression hook in my mouth I made all kinds of sounds to tell girt it was burning n stop. She just said I I don't read sign language and it suppose to get lil warm. She should of been sued. Period. If any part of you burn mk then stop immediately. Now I've searched my whole state for hypoallergenic dentures. No one mks them. I've sense found out a lot of ppl have sensitivities to acrylic. So I lucked on on finding Russell klein. He's in FL. But sends things and tells you what to do. I have to have nylon. It's proven much better. Teeth are beautiful . He has a site. So I'm trying 1485 for hypoallergenic nylon light pink gorse show upper. Shorter bottom .. I picked color and all out my self. Bleach teeth color are natural. So I'm trying. No more if this falls Thu.
@@lorainalee google dental tourism. In columbia you can get a full set for $370. There is no reason Dentist here should charge so much!
So which are the budget ones? The porcelain or the acrylic?
@@your_uncle_barry_6700 acrilyc is cheaper to use, but dentists rarely pass the savings to the patient if they use acrylic. it's not a big difference anyway.
A perfect example of Class War.
At the dental technician myself great job, I've been making removables for 37 years and where I live in wicomico county Maryland all the dentist send the most crappiest impressions and model work that I've seen in the last 15 years. They cared nothing about their patients all about the money denture millwork!
@@debbielosli830 It is super hard to tell the difference between a cheaper and a premium material as a patient. Both come in different colours and with and without fibers. So they can look absolutely identical. The main factor is the ammount of monomer which stays in the finished product. The lesser the better becuase it can cause allergic reactions and irritations of the tissue. Another factor is the shrinkage of the material. Over time they tend to shrink a little. Some materials shrink more than others. The premium material used in the video is a hot polymerisation material which compensates a lot of the shrinkage and because of the heat has very little monomer left in the denture. Another point is the ammount of water it absorbs which can cause discolouration and of course bad smell. There are some more factors, but like I mentioned it is super hard to tell if a premium material was used. If you have no suction, you should get it relined. This can be caused by a bad impression (eaven the best denture is only as good as the impression) or bad design of the denture base. Of yourse there are more factors like weight loss, diseases, decline of the jaw or other factors. Hope I was able to help a little bit.

Mark can you make me some dentures? Im in La Plata MD.
I got my top plate 12/12/23. I was eating chili, soups, noodles, by the 14th, the 16th I had ham and biscuits, chicken nuggets. My dentist and her team were impressed because most people just eat mashed potatoes. I didn't finish all my pain meds but if my gums felt sore I'd take some ibuprofen.
I have had NHS partials for years, they are hell when they are new, but once broken in and eased a bit by the dentist, I learned to live with them and as they got looser a bit of adhesive Poligrip did the trick. I must admit, I might look into having a privately made set. Interesting video, thanks.
Your craftsmanship and your dedication,loyalty and respect of your patients are commendable
I don't know why this video got recommended to me by the algorythm, but your plaster room looks like an absolute warzone.
I feel that everyone deserves the same level option. Knowing your not doing your all for someone just because they don't have thousands of dollars makes me upset. Am I the only one that feel like this is totally wrong?! You can lose your teeth at any age, at any economic background. We ALL deserve the BEST SMILE!
im with you on that ive been waiting two years for the nhs to do something for me and im still waiting all that keeps happening is i get referred somewhere have to wait 5 or 6 months and by the time thats all done more dmg has happened due to the wait
completely agree with you, its a shame that the government do not fund this sort of dentistry for all citizens as it should be a right. but in my opinion the dentist surely can not be expected to bridge the financial gap in the manufacturing process out of money for his/her own pocket. if we pay £280 for dentures on the NHS and the dentist gets roughly half of it, (with the practice owner getting the other half), which is typical, then s/he has to make the top and bottom set for less then £140 in total for it to make the dentist any money at all.
I was shocked when i found out that the NHS fees most of us pay account for over 90% of what the practice gets in total, so in reality our tax doesn't go towards our dentistry. It may go towards funding those who are exempt from dental charges but those who pay banded prices for NHS dentistry do not see the benefit by and large. no wonder so many dentists decide to work outside these NHS constraints....
Your just getting ripped off.. the cost of better materials for a full set of dentures is like 120 dollars max. The fabrication time isn’t that far off either. An hour and half at most. In my practise we don’t even charge extra for more expensive teeth.
I'm totally with you
You are so right I just got finished paying a periodontist money that I didn't have to spare because the dentist that I asked for help suggested I see a periodontist to see why I was loosing my teeth. But the periodontist only said that it was bacteria but wanted to do an exploration surgery deep cleaning which cost over $8,000 Give me antibiotics and give me a partial . HELP all I want for Christmas are quality dentures. This is ridiculous
wow lol, that was a 17 min long advert..they deserve a call for that
Sorry but it feels icky to see them flat out say that someone using the NHS will be getting poorer denture quality than “Private”. Everyone deserves the same and best care provided possible. On top of that, it’s very counterproductive for the NHS to only pay for the worse set of teeth than private because, as they said in the video, the NHS teeth will wear down much quicker and even go as far as to cause new jaw problems for the patient, unlike the private teeth. The NHS will then have to pay for another set of teeth AND pay to fix the jaw problems created by the “cheap” teeth. At that rate, the NHS will end up having to pay a lot more than what the private had to pay. Wtf? Just give the patient the best quality of teeth there is from the beginning so that they don’t have to go through all this pain. It will save money in the long run.
And it’s not cheaper or more cost effective since they will break more often and will need to be replaced. Wouldn’t it make more sense to make great, solid dentures for everyone so they need them once? I’m in the USA and my mother has had the same denture for over 40 years because it was made the very best.
everyone wants government funded healthcare...this is what you get when things are state funded. Garbage.
The problem I'm experiencing is that Since I've had full teeth removal, my jaw has Closed tighter together, and the Size teeth being set in my dentures is about the SAME size as my old teeth. My Jaw doesn't sit "open" as far.
I'm getting my dentures on Dec 6th, I have a question for you, 1st, thank you for your videos, because I'm scared to death, 2nd, what adhesive do you recommend to help hold them in better. 3rd.. the first day after extraction and placement did you take them out to help rinse out the blood, or did you just leave them alone until the next day visit. Thank you in advance, your videos are very informative.
I had all my teeth pulled in April of 2023 under amnesia for a cost of $5,000.00. I had to go back and get amnesia again to the specialist in late March of 2023 and have all these growths that felt like pointy stalactites, which was another hour operation. Now it's September 6, 2023, the swelling etc. has gone down, and I can soon go to the dentist and start the "getting dentures process". I think I'll take what my dentist thinks will work well on me, economy or a good set as I'm 70 years old. However, I have no idea how much longer I'll live, and I sure would love to start eating normally again, salads, pickles, etc. The cost is secondary as you get what you pay for and for me I hope its a once and done deal. If anyone has any thing to add to this including the nice lady whom put herself out there to show us her mouth toothless, etc. I applaud you. Any advice would be appreciated....
I'm in Pasadena, California. Is there any dentist office I should check out and get a replacement for my dentures? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Nice
If you made a mess like that in my lab!
Nhs ones are just as good mine look perfect just keep them clean
I think everyone should have the same level of care, we live in the world where looks are everything and we should all be able to look out best and not have to be a millionaire to do so..
My cheap denture broke and cost $175 to fix so I could eat and then broke in same spot 2 days later and it's a money scheme, I made my own with acrylic and put brass mesh in the middle for extra strength and 5 years later my denture I made works great and cost $ $30 to make,,,,,,dentures are a big money scam,,they cost nothing to make and easy to make but they charge $3000 for a denture that costs $20 in materials to make
sure wish you would make a video to show us all how you did it.
I just want to be able to smile again. I don't leave the house anymore and I've been very close to just ending it all. I'm 51 and my life is over. That may sound stupid, but it's not to me. I have top dentures and now I need the rest of what I've got left, out after losing my two front bottom teeth. I don't think I can bear both dentures in my mouth. I'm just done.
> Samsara -Summer Moon come home Come on now Samsara, you can do it! The good news is after you get the bottom denture in, you'll be home free and never have to go to the dentist again! Your tooth problem will be solved and you can move forward in your life and focus on something that you enjoy! Since you already have gotten used to your top dentures, you are quite capable of getting used to the bottom ones in conjunction with the top ones. I want to share something with you that works for me with the hope it will help you - all you have to do is change your mindset. Instead of telling yourself "I don't think I can bear both dentures in my mouth," change that sentence a little bit by instead telling yourself, "I know I will adjust to wearing both dentures in my mouth." Tell yourself multiple times each day, "I WILL be able to wear both dentures." "I WILL adjust to
wearing both dentures." Everytime I have told myself "I CAN do it!" when I've had to overcome an obstacle in my life, I did indeed succeed. Use the power of positive thinking by telling yourself over & over that you CAN do it, and you will. If you tell yourself you can't do something, you won't succeed because you have set yourself up for failure by convincing yourself you will fail. When you tell yourself you will be able to do something, you will do it because you've set yourself up to prevail. Ten years ago when my husband died, I was left alone and had to learn to do everything myself at age 61. It's been a long road and I was overwhelmed at times - but what helped me the most was telling myself I COULD do whatever it was I had to do - and everytime I told myself that, I did indeed accomplish what I had to at the time. And one more thing, Samsara - you're only 51 - you're a youngster - cause I have to get my bottom teeth done too and I'm 71 years old. But you've got a lot more going for you because you are able to get your bottom teeth, so please be grateful for that because I don't have the money to get my teeth - I can't get them till I figure out a way to pay for them. And I will figure it out because why? Because I'm a "I can do it!" kinda gal! Just like you are going to become. You are not done, you're only 51 - I don't think I'm done and I'm 71! So cheer up, Samsara - YOU CAN DO IT!!
@@ofthedifference 🙂 Thankyou so much for your kind words and much needed encouragement. I promise I will follow your advice. I will make an appointment after the holidays and hopefully I will be done by summer. I still get anxiety when I think about it, but I am mentally preparing myself so I'm hoping, sorry 🤭 I WILL be ready, by the time I get my appointment. If I have a wobble, I will remember your lovely and uplifting message. I'm sorry for the loss of your husband, it must be difficult. I really, really hope that something works out for you. I need to remember that there's plenty others worse off than me, and be grateful for my own situation. So thankyou again, you've really made a difference, I mean that. Sending love your way and I hope you have a lovely Christmas...💗 🤶 💗🎅💗🧑🎄💗🎄💗☃️💗...and a fabulous New Year❣️💗🎉💗🍾💗🥂💗
found this video fascinating - If I went private could I insist that my teeth were made in your lab privately? Paul from Bournemouth
Well i cannot win. I have poorly fitted NHS partial dentures , been back a few times and still look and feel bad. But cannot afford private. I give up.
thank you for uploading this. it is very informative.
i am currently having a very bad time with my teeth after years and years of neglect. (not proud of myself!!)
i know all of my remaining teeth will have to be removed and i have been looking at all sorts of different remedies including implants, but the price of those is way way out of my reach so the next best solution is dentures and after watching your upload i will definitely going down the 'private' route. (if i can find a dentist who will take me on!)
as you say "you get what pay for".
thanks again.
How did u get on about getting new dentures Don
I would love to know how you got on too if you went down the private denture route
The UK tariffs set by the government for NHS treatments are far too low I'm not surprised fewer and fewer dentists are taking in NHS patients - I've just started a treatment plan which will cost just over £1000 for 3 lower teeth extractions today 2 more extractions next week and then replacement dentures - I think it's well worth it - final day for the dentures to be fitted is December 7th (it's October 31 today) after Christmas will crack on and have one upper extraction and a replacement denture made to include this tooth ( I already have one with 3 upper teeth on) can't wait to get it all over with 😬
Good luck Helena.
@@birdy5548 thank you - I went yesterday (November 9th) and actually had 3 pulled - not 2 lol I've got 3 appointments for impressions etc and then 1 for the denture to be fitted 👍😬
@@helenagreenwood2305 hi I've just been having this done, it will be just over a grand by the time it's finish. Just got upper ones and unfortunately got a big gagging problem so haven't been able to wear them lol having to wait for my appointment in Jan so we will see good luck with yours
@@daisyotis mention it to your dentist they might just need to file it down a bit - definitely persevere with wearing it 👍 good luck 👍
Basic acrylic dentures cost $4000 ,where I live ,porcelain top grade dentures cost 3 x times as much $12,000 ,that's just dentures cost ,with all your teeth already gone,iv had acrylic dentures for over 8 years & they are still good & work like new
Great,
Mine will be made out of polymer clay from the craft store. LOL
What is the cost of each type of denture?
We don't have NHS per se in The United States. We have Medicare and Medicaid. What I am wondering is this. There in England do the dentists explain the difference in NHS payed teeth and Private paid teeth ,and Do they ever say to the patient " look this is what Your getting with NHS teeth and this is what is available with private paid teeth" . So, being armed with this information ,is it possible to maybe pay the difference and get the better teeth while the government does at least pick up part of the cost?
we do, but NHS dentist only work towards the UK government funding and unfortunately a lot of cutting edge materials and equipment is not available due to limited budget. Dentists do show to patients the difference and compare, but if they work in full private practices there is no need. only if they work in mixed practices. With private dentistry dentists will spend more time focusing on the detail of every course of treatment provided instead of worrying about the funding, a lot of the tools used in private dentistry to improve treatment is not available under NHS due to budget.
I paid over £1,000 for my dentures and they are more like NHS teeth, I think I was DONE!!
I’m in the process of having a private set of dentures it’s costing £1200. It takes 6 visits before they are ready so I really don’t mind waiting. My nhs set never fitted correctly after having all my teeth removed. I’ve been without teeth for 7 months can’t wait for my new ones.
I'm getting my temporary teeth tomorrow and my permanent in March next year. It's 14 appointments and cost me £4,783

Every denture I had Brock or crack I get on NHS but still have to pay there no refund or replacement you have to keep paying they last no more then 2 years if your lucky
What is going on with cleaning standard on this lab? extremely dirty!
pretty regular lab
Laboratorio veramente sporco, io sono un odontotecnico ma il banco del gesso si pulisce almeno tre volte al giorno con disinfettanti, li la sporcizia è incrostata da tempo , igene pessima.
I have had my dentures for about 10 years,but even if I put on denture cream they don't fit properly,and they affect my speech big time, for some reasons I can't eat the whole meal without them getting loose and coming out,ic some people who don't even use denture cream and theirs fit ,can u advise please?
I would definitely advise you to try to get a reline I am in the same position only it's been 8 years for me I was so excited to go get a new set of dentures and it ended up going very bad they did not turn out good at all so now I'm trying to get new ones it's just been a horrible process prayers for you on your journey
@@JamiesLife thank you very much for your advice,God bless🙏🙏🙏
Go to a denturist or denture specialist
Just had a nhs partial denture now feeling inadequate 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you for this. I’m so mad. They wouldn’t take a picture or even look at a picture of what my teeth looked like before making mine and also forced my bite into a position that was not my natural position. So I have a lisp, I can’t eat because the teeth don’t come together the way they should, the bite is off. I went through 6 surgeries to remove and grind down bone. But now I don’t have enough bone to keep them in , they just pop right off and that’s with strong adhesive. I had an Anaphylactic reaction to one adhesive. I went through so much pain, I’m allergic to Epinephrine so while they were digging out my roots ( my teeth had just started sliding off my gums, I had great teeth but I have Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome among a lot of other health issues) so I felt most of that pain during each ( 6 ) of those separate surgeries. I had to go to a teaching hospital for mine. They look nothing like my teeth I have lost a lot of bone density. I was never given anything ( temporary teeth to help retain bone and keep my jaw working right. I am so depressed and feel so ugly and would love to eat. All my hair is falling out due to nutrition problems but no one cares. Thank you again for this video.
Feel your pain.
I also Feel your pain, I too have had the same issues with nhs dentures, (I also have severe hair loss, and have wondered whether it’s connected to my teeth/nutrition)
it truly is an absolute disgrace and so wrong how they can expect anyone to live with these non fitting non functioning monstrosities. No one should be expected to live with this and like this just because we are nhs patients and cannot afford a private denture. We should be afforded a working functioning prostheses just like other nhs prosthetics such as limbs
Podrian traducir en español.me interesa y no entendi nada .Todos no sabemos hablar en Ingles!!
What if you got a over bite
Maybe the " Austin Powers", budget ones are built to last ?😟
the system is really ok, but nobody cleans up in this laboratory, in our laboratory such a mess would not be tolerated
I've got huge bottom dentures, they hurt, they're loose, and my bite is off
Se gasta de maciado materiales en materiales en en modelo . el.rodete es muy grande
tbh it's absolute bullshit, i have paid twice for private partial dentures and both sets lasted less than a year? costing me in excess of £700 previous to that i had a make do NHS denture costing £200 that lasted over 2 years???
If the first set lasted less than a year, could you not have complained and had them fix/replace? Don't they have guarantees? I only ask because I'm currently having veneers that I'm paying for, and my dentist is fixing things, changing things, and providing an ongoing guarantee with the work/materials. I have NHS for other routine things though. But for the private stuff, I'm be furious if things didn't last long.
ONE PAIR FOR THE RICH ----- THE POOR CAN BARE THE PAIN ---- AS USUAL.
Darlings, if a nurse forgotten your impression in disinfectant, your denture never going to fit nice or fit at all.... And your technician will be just as clueless as your dentist and the nurse, lol. They all will be blaming each other and the nurse will never confess.... she hasn't got a clue that has done something wrong...
This is only 1 of hundreds of possible errors, mishaps and discrepancies in the process..
Go to someone who does dentures himself , as Clinical Dental Technician, or Denturust .. preferably an intelligent one and talented ( extremely rare). But if they have other technicians working for them- then you no better off than going to a clueless dentist... best of luck...
Every denture I get doesn't last more then a year or 2.. they crack and brake and you have to keep paying
Pay the extra...what if you can't afford it
I emailed and messaged several times to change my address with no reply. Please just cancel my order.
Paid £990 for 2 pte dentures which are worse than £280 NHS dentures
My NHS partial didn’t take into account that I am a woman of colour. So my only choice is to get private.
Are you serious?! What year are we in? That should never happen How ridiculous!
@@hopefully2224 it’s annoying that’s how they roll in the UK. Even my dentist understood my frustrations.
😈4 Month wait for cheap upper and lower partials start to finish!? WTF? I can build a house in 30 days! God created the universe in 7 days! Mine must be made in China! So Cal desert dentist joke!🏴☠
So the wealthy people get the best looking dentures and the poor get the crappy looking dentures. Great job making dentures though.
Why do you think someone else should pay for you?
Why should dentures be different to anything else in life? Healthcare is about functionality, the NHS pays for satisfactory solutions to medical/dental problems. No matter the treatment, there will always be a gold-plated version that costs extra. Dental cosmetics are the same.
and this is why i dont support the NHS
What?! Ok. I wonder if you say that when you have an accident and the ambulance just picks you up without question or a bill, or your GP refers you straight to the clinic the same day if they suspect cancer, for example? I wouldn't be alive without the NHS and I'm sick of our right wing government underfunding for years to try and sell it off, so we can all suffer on insurance like the US. Ugh.
@@catsandcrafts171 i spent 3 years on a NHS waiting list and nearly killed myself because of it, so fuck the NHS

This video is terrible! Comparing the more expensive ones to the not as much as the more expensive ones!😮
Oh brother!
Disgusting video showing what a sham private dentistry is.
Why is it a sham? I'd have thought it was the exact opposite to a sham - better materials and more labour time = higher cost. That's about as transparent as it gets.
Looks like a sawmill in there, you have no shame and this should sabotage your career. 👎👎
