Can a dentist make me new dentures with my olds ones that i have never wearn.?
Answers:
if you have never warn them, why would you want new ones made from them????? First off, depending on how old the "old ones" are, your mouth configuation has changed with age so new molds (IMPRESSIONS) will have to be made---you will more then likely have to start from scratch----I had 2 sets of lower dentures made and I have 6 titanium IMPLANTS and a complete set of "screw in teeth" on top...I'll take the IMPLANTS over dentures ANY DAY......but each implant is $2000 (x 6 = $12,000 ) then I had BONE GRAFTING SURGERY before THAT---and the implants FELL OUT and I had 6 LONGER ones put in--again at $2000 per implant----and then a set of upper teeth that are screwed to the implants... inside the new teeth is a band of SOLID GOLD and a band of PLATINUM, which makes the cost for the upper teeth (just the TEETH) $8,000. so it's a VERY expensive proposition... but well worth it... especially since my insurance paid for the implants because I had a MEDICAL PROBLEM that caused me to have to have the bone grafting and implants in the first place.....Lucky me huh?
