I'm assuming this is a partial denture?
Under most circumstances, programs such as NHS do require a certain waiting period before they will pay to replace a prosthesis (denture/partial). You will need to call your dentist for the information regarding payment.
He/she most likely will Not "give" you another one. One can be made, but there are fees that go along with that.
Hopefully your benefits will pick up this charge...talk with them, tell them what happened, and there may be a letter or form that can be submitted to NHS.
Take care

If you are on benefits and don't pay for dental treatment, then you won't have to pay for a replacement. It depends on how long ago the denture you lost was made. If it was recently then you will have to wait a couple of months or so before a replacement can be made, its worth booking an appointment for a consultation, wont cost you anything after all and they will be able to give you the exact info that you need!
If you have to pay a new denture on the NHS will cost you £194.00

If you are on benefits you would't have paid any NHS fee's in the first place.
If your denture was made fairly recently you may well be entitiled to a replacement on the nhs, how ever you may have to pay for a replacement denture and you'd pay about 30% of the band 3 nhs charge for dentures which is £194.
Ring your dental surgery and they will be able to tell you if your entitiled to a new one on the nhs

If your dentist still has the casts of your mouth then a replacement denture shouldn't be a problem but I don't know if you'll have to pay for a replacement. I shouldn't think so because I used to break mine all the time.

purely enable the enamel improve in. that is not like it replace into an incisor or a dogs. in case you lose a molar that is positive. The lacking enamel shouldn't reason any considerable issues interior the destiny. you may desire to consistently get a faux enamel put in. could be purely positive.

Of course another one can be made, but chances are you'll be responsible for the fee...
