Losing your teeth impacts your life on a broad scale. You find yourself using just part of your mouth to chew, or you select softer, if not liquid, foods. At the same time, you might feel self-conscious when you smile and when you talk. Unfortunately, despite dentures being the optimal solution for older adults, our current system often requires patients to sit in the dentist's chair for eight hours or more just to be fitted for a pair. Then, patients spend weeks waiting to receive their dentures. What do you do in the meantime? How Dentures Are Made The average set of dentures is a multi-step, weekslong process: Starts with a dentist visit to get molds made Molds are sent to lab for casting Molds sent back to dentist Dentist fits molds to patient for custom fitting Denture is sent back to lab for alterations Refined denture sent back to the dentist Patient is check for final fitting and delivery And this all, of course, assumes that the patient only needs one refinement. If additional refinements are needed, the time - and costs - can grow exponentially. These multiple visits can take a toll on your wallet, as well. The average set of traditional dentures costs anywhere from $800 to upwards of $5,000, with most coming in around $1,500. As a result, mail order dentures - also known as ready-made dentures - are growing in popularity for their convenience. Patients order a set online and then form the top, bottom or both portions using boil and bite technology - similar to molding a mouthguard.
