Hello, Katie! How are you?

You can have your existing top dentures refitted, rather inexpensively. In most areas less than $100 at a dental lab. You can also buy kits on Amazon to try to do it yourself, plus there are other temporary products that you can purchase inexpensively to get them to the point where you can use them, again.

Unfortunately, since you can eat without teeth, though it is difficult, they aren't considered medically necessary, but just to be of cosmetic concern.

However, since you had cancer, you may want to try searching for a survivor's foundation that can help you. They often make grants to cancer survivors just for situations like this. You can find many of them online with various purposes.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Hi Katie,
