Emergency Dentures are ready to wear
Emergency Denture is a comfortable ready to wear copy of your existing denture.
Perhaps you've gone through the time when you did not have a denture just for the basics such as eating and talking. The emergency denture can alleviate the frustration of not having a denture, the next time your denture breaks. You probably already know that it may cost hundreds or even thousands to get another denture, just to have as a backup. To many folks this solution is just to expensive, and that's why you can get a copy made from your existing denture.
Partial Emergency Dentures can be made :
However you will need to supply a dentist impression along with your partial denture. If your partial denture has clasps, count the clasps and call us so we can give you a quote on what it will cost to add the clasps to your emergency denture. Note: You may need to see a dentist to get your partial emergency denture adjusted so that it will fit your mouth precisely.
Questions you should ask about Duplicate Dentures :
Are Duplicate Dentures exact copies ?
The next time you find a place that sells duplicate dentures and they claim it to be an exact copy, you must ask one important question. Please ask if the denture teeth are separate acrylic teeth that are put into your duplicate denture. If the duplicate denture then has separate acrylic teeth that are put into the duplicate denture, it would be an exact copy. If it is not, then the duplicate denture is the same as the emergency denture the dentists can make.
Emergency Denture is a affordable backup solution.
As we said earlier, getting another denture can literally cost hundreds or even thousands. Most just can't afford to pay thousands for something to use only for emergencies. That's why the emergency denture is affordable to solve the emergency solution.
The next time if should your denture ever break or is misplaced, you can wear your emergency denture until you get your original denture back.
Making the emergency denture involves copying the same structure of your original denture. If it's broken, and you don't want it repaired, the dentist can make you another copy of the broken denture. This is the easiest way we can explain the process. When we mean stucture, that is the emergency denture is made with new materials, but the structure such as if you had very worn down teeth, the worn down teeth would be transfered to the emergency denture as well. This is the same as if you were to get a duplicate denture.
Emergency Dentures New made for use as an emergency denture.
The cost alone is only a small fraction of what it costs to get a new denture from a dentist. It is a copy of the same denture that you may want to have emergency denture made. It looks like your other denture, but it is made with new materials, so it will have a less tendancy to break than that of your old porous denture. As dentures age, they become porous and brittle with an easier way to break. No adjustments from the dentist will be needed because it is a copy of the same structure of your original denture. One of the reasons why the cost for an emergency denture is much less than a regular denture is that very little time of the dentist is used, and the teeth and gums are made as a single unit. So there is no additional cost for each separate acrylic tooth or the cost of the labor to put the teeth in the denture.

If you want new teeth added to the emergency denture, you are better off at getting an entire new denture. Let's say you wanted the emergency denture to be made from your repaired denture, but you want to have new teeth added to the emergency denture. Adding new teeth to any denture is making a change to the existing structure of the denture. When making changes to the structure, it is required to have a dentist assist with the change. When adding new teeth, you would have to add the costs to have a dentist take impressions, have the dentist adjust your dentures so they fit right, pay for dental models to be made from your impressions, pay for the cost of the acrylic denture teeth, and lastly pay for the labor to install each acrylic tooth on your denture. In essence, you are much better off at getting a new denture, than working with the emergency denture if you want to have new teeth. In this case there is little savings if you want to add new denture teeth to a emergency denture.
