Frequently Asked Questions for Patients
Can I buy dentures from you and how much?
Many people ask this question all the time, but none like the answers behind it. As a Dental Laboratory, we are not allowed to work directly with the public. It is required that any medical/dental appliance has to be prescribed by the Doctor/Dentist. At that point that dental office and the lab will exchange your case back and forth till the dental office is ready to deliver your denture to you and you pay them.
Well that sucks, then how do I get my dentist to work with you?
Awesome, now we are on the right track. Any licensed dentist can use any dental lab anywhere. Whether that be in the same town, next state over or even next continent over. All you have to do is let your dentist office know you want my lab “Dental Things” based out of California to do your case. Most of the time the dentist will already have their lab they have always used and will convince you that they will do a good job, which is correct most of the time. Don’t be mad that they wont choose to work with us, sometimes that’s a bigger commitment for one patients case than it is worth doing. Some few that are willing to try us out, that is a special occasion that we can also try to have you view a live recording/streaming of your “Set Up” portion of your denture that we can also have input on if you want.
How long does it take to make the dentures?
That is a common concern that everyone has when waiting for their teeth to be made. If you’re in another state, then having to wait for the delivery services to get from California to your state is a big factor in the process. Once it gets to your office, then it is time for them to get your appointment for the next step of the denture making process. It can take a bit of time to get things in order but hopefully the wait is worth it to be able to smile.
I have a broken denture, can you fix it?
As we stated in the first question, a dentist has to provide us the order then we can fix your appliance.
