Lower Cost Alternative to Same Day Dentures

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Same day dentures are a fantastic benefit to denture wearers. If your dentures get broken or you waited too long to get your new pair created, it’s a huge benefit that you don’t have to wait a few weeks or months to get your dentures.

With same day dentures you typically get an early morning appointment for impressions and x-rays and by the end of the business day, your dentures are ready. While you wait, the dentist can create your dentures in their on-site denture lab. Same day dentures are created in your dentist’s on-site lab, rather than being mailed back and forth between the dental office and the off-site lab.

Same day dentures can be expensive. It’s a benefit, not a requirement, and you can pay dearly for this benefit. The great thing is, many dental offices that offer same day dentures can get you your dentures in just 3 – 5 days for significantly less than same day dentures.

Good dental offices will often tell you about this deal if you ask for it. Many offices suggest patients wait 3 – 5 days for their dentures rather than getting same day dentures for the cost benefits. It’s easier for the dental offices if they’re given a few days and it’s better for you because you don’t have to pay as much. If you’re willing to wait a few days for your dentures, talk to your dentist. “Same day dentures” are a hot topic but there are many different options your dentist has. If they have their own on-site lab, you can get your dentures made in just a few days at a significantly lower price than the same day dentures you called about initially.

If you’re looking for a lower cost alternative to same day dentures ask your dentist if you can have a lower price if you’re willing to wait a few days. If they’re not willing to do it, expand your search and contact a few other offices asking them if there is anything you can do to get your dentures quickly at a lower price than same day dentures.

Same Day Dentures: Ask Your Dentist for a Discussion

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Your smile is one of the first things others notice about you. When it’s time to get major dental work done, you should always ask your dentist what his experience is. Any procedure that affects your smile should be give proper consideration and thought… because while dental procedures have many health benefits, it also has many cosmetic needs as well.

If you need to have some, or all, of your teeth removed, you should review your dentist’s work on dentures. It can be hard to tell your family dentist that you want to use someone else for your dentures but keep in mind that denture creation is a specialized practice. And it’s not just taking care of your teeth anymore, it’s recreating your entire smile. Dentists that provide same day dentures often specialize in dentures because they have an on-site lab, which is a huge investment for them.

This on-site lab is great for you because you won’t need to wait weeks or months for your permanent dentures to be created. You can get your dentures the same day you go in to get impressions taken. If same day dentures are too expensive, you should ask your dentist if he offers a discount for waiting a few days. Rather than same day dentures, elect three to five day dentures to reduce the price significantly. While waiting may be somewhat uncomfortable for you, reducing the price significantly is often extremely beneficial. And, if you’re working, it’s easier to take a few days off and get that price reduction than going into work for 3-4 weeks – or months, while waiting for your new set of dentures.

All in all, you should talk to your dentist about your denture options and price differences. There are options out there for you – whether you choose same day dentures, few day dentures, or regular dentures.

Same Day Dentures: Dentures in One Day

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Dentures are a great solution for people who have lost some, or all, of their teeth to periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury. Another reason you may be looking for dentures is because your old set broke or were lost. I’ve heard so many stories of people who have had a child or grandchild get a hold of their dentures, which have then “magically” disappeared. One of the hardest parts of getting dentures is that there is usually a long wait between when you lose your teeth and when you get your new dentures.

This time delay can put you in a bad situation especially if you have a busy social life or are working. Many don’t want to be seen by friends and family without teeth. The missing teeth aren’t the only thing that affects your appearance. Without your teeth, your facial muscles can sag causing you to look less like yourself.

With same day dentures, you don’t need to worry about going weeks or months without your dentures. Same day dentures are created the same way your typical dentures are created, however, the dental office has its own on-site lab. Most dentists send the impressions to an off-site lab and then wait until that lab creates your dentures. It can take weeks or sometimes even months to get proper fitting dentures because if a change is needed it has to be shipped back to the lab and then back to the dentist.

If you have a pair of dentures that fit fine, the time it takes to get a new pair of dentures isn’t an issue. But usually, you’re not looking to get a new set of dentures when your old pair fits just fine. Permanent same day dentures give you the ability to continue on with your daily life, and you don’t need to worry about the discomfort of temporary dentures.

Usually, a same day dentures dentist will have you come in for an early morning appointment to take impressions. Once the impressions are created, the laboratory starts work on your dentures right away. By the end of the day, you will have a pair of permanent same day dentures.
