A friend of mine has quite a lot of teeth missing and wears a partial top
denture but she can't get on with her partial bottom teeth denture.
Also, she has worn down her bottom teeth by grinding them in her sleep, and with other work she's had done in the past, possibly veneers etc her teeth seem to be all different shades.
Speaking to me about them, she said she would like to have all her teeth taken out and have full dentures top and bottom, but I can't imagine a dentist would do that as I expect the teeth she does have left are sound but don't particularly look nice.
Would an NHS dentist do this or perhaps a private dentist?
I'm off to a hospital appointment but will check in when I get back. TIA.

I maybe wrong, but I think the teeth whitening only works on natural teeth. If she has a mouthful of veneers, crowns etc, it could make matters worse.
Yes I had mine done using that method as the trays used in normal whitening were making me gag. However, if the enamel is damaged, they can't do that. Why does your friend not just have the veneers replaced or have new ones?
