In the past I have heard of people getting dental technicians to do this kind of work. Also- 'straight across' bite plates (the sort Berg Larsens have) - Rupert Noble can replace those using broken bits of ebonite mouthpiece shaped to size

Might be worth asking Dawkes if they can do it.

Have you considered filling it in with epoxy? Some folks have been successful at a complete replacement by making a dam on either side with tape, then filling the space with dental-grade epoxy. If you only need to fill a groove, epoxy works for that too. In either case, I'd use a tooth patch to avoid further wear/damage.
