Difference between private and nhs denture?

[mikeassured]

Hi

I am due to visit my dentist on Friday to sort out a denture for a tooth I had extracted a couple of months ago.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a single tooth denture on the nhs and a private one. The tooth I had extracted was a molar on my upper left. I have a tooth below it that has nothing now to chew against, so my dentist advised to have the denture to prevent any future problems. I think she said a nhs denture is around £200 and a private one is £400.

Thanks

Sue
