does anyone no how much a denture repair is by a nhs dentist

[boxtops]

No I don't, but I just had mine fixed by our local denture shop and it was £30. Much quicker than taking it to the dentist, as they do it on the premises.

I can only speak for our dentist (NHS) who advertises a free denture repair service. I'm not sure if it's only for those supplied by them to their patients or if it's open to anyone.

I did my last one myself with superglue - it's lasted two years already.

doesn't it taste funny though, canary?

[J9PUR]

There is no charge to have a denture repaired under NHS terms and conditions

[Canary42]

Not that I've noticed Box.

Were they originally done privately?
