Calling all ould coffin-dodgers, HELP

Right, I have to confess that not all of my teeth are my own, an assortment crowns a 4 tooth bridge and an odd assortment of multi-filled gnashers all add up to my winning smile.
Or at least they did until about February when I had my latest in a long line of abscesses, resulting from a boot in the bake when as my teacher suggested I should "tackle them round the ankles boy" and I managed to go lower on a big bloody country bumpkin frae Ballymayna hi, biting onto his boot.
My dentist, the fragrant Ashleigh said that boys bitten his last, I'll make you a temporary plate. Those of you who met me in the latter part of the season will doubtless have noticed that I was auditioning the look of the gap-toothed yokel as I can't stand to have the plate anywhere near my bake. I'd happily live out my days with the gap but Mrs T doesn't like the look and pesters me to wear the plate in public. .
Wind forward to today when Ashleigh again suggests an implant, I counter with what about a partial bridge and we settle on a single Valplast denture, a cunning little devil that it is and a snip at a mere £640.
Cunning little device. She wanted me to get an implant at £2000 but I told her unless she can guarantee my life will not end in the next 20 years I'm not paying more than £100 Stg per year, I'd rather suck soggy Weetabix through a straw.
Now if anyone is still with me, I'm told that the Valplast is hugely more comfortable to wear that a standard acrylic plate, as it simply clips around the adjoining teeth on a flexible so has anyone worn one, is it a bloody con or are they indeed more flexible in the bake without the irritating plate?
Anyone who can advise, step right up.
