How to Get the Best Dentures Possible

When meeting new people or socializing with old friends, your face and your smile are one of the first things people see and notice. If you have missing, broken or dead teeth, you may opt to have work done. Being fitted for dentures is a common procedure among young and old. It will cover missing teeth and will allow you to approach social situations with confidence.

Instructions

• 1

  Choose a dentist that has experience with dentures and other restorative dental procedures. You might also consider a prosthodontist, which is a doctor who has three years of advanced training in dentures and other restorative procedures.

• 2

  Check to make sure the dentist or prosthodontist is covered by your insurance company. For the most cost-effective dentures, you should make sure it can at least be partly covered by insurance.

• 3

  Find out how many teeth you are missing. This will help you determine the best type of dentures for your situation. If all or most of your teeth are missing, you'll most likely need complete dentures. If only some of your teeth are missing, you will most likely only need partial dentures.

• 4

  Choose highly cross-linked polymer denture teeth for the highest quality dentures. If you're more concerned about getting the best price, conventional plastic teeth are not as expensive.

• 5

  Get the best warranty available for your dentures. Warranties can range from two to 10 years, and the longer coverage you have, the better.
