Frequently Asked Questions

Are full dentures comfortable?

Dentures are meant to be comfortable and well fitting. While there is an adjustment period, they should not cause irritation. Some people may have to adjust to having something in their mouth and use denture glues or liners to continue to have a good fit. But the goal of a new denture is to fit your gums like a glove and allow you to return to a normal life, eating the foods you love and smiling.

Are these real dentures?

Yes. Advanced tele-dentistry allows us to have a licensed dentist in your state prescribe your denture. Add that to our market leading 3D scanning, designing and printing technology and you get the most cutting edge from-home denture.

Can I eat with DentKits’ dentures?

Yes. The l denture material we use is about 3x as fracture resistant and about 2x as moisture resistant as the next leading 3D printed denture material. This means you get a strong and long lasting denture to keep you smiling for years to come.

Does an in-state licensed dentist review my case?

Absolutely. DentKits uses advanced 3D imaging and teledentistry to send the details of your case including impression scans, denture design, basic patient information and more to a license dentist in your state. They review this information and prescribe your denture. If they have any issues with the design or questions for you we work with them to answer any questions. We won’t move forward to printing until a prescription is made.

What if my DentKits dentures do not fit?

We design our dentures to fit the impressions sent in to us. Our full arch dentures require a try-in to be sent first. This is to adjust fit and bite issues before the final denture is delivered. For partials, flippers and nesbits, we can request a description of the issue or new impressions to adjust the fit issue. Sometimes people’s impression can be inaccurate and if that is the case, we hope to address that via try-ins, descriptions and a second set of impressions.

What is the average cost of dentures online compared to traditional dentists?

Who is a good candidate for immediate dentures?

Immediate dentures are for immediately after the pulling of teeth. The impressions for immediate dentures should be taken when teeth are still present. Immediate dentures are designed and made so they are available after the procedure. Immediate dentures serve the purpose of providing a person with functional teeth up to the point that they receive final dentures.

Will my replacement denture be the same as my broken denture?

After we repair your broken denture, we scan it so we can get all of its details. We then create a new denture digitally from that scan. Your replacement denture will be the same design of your broken denture, down to the little details, but will be digitally repaired and made in DentKits materials. We use top of the line dental 3D printing technology to design and make our dentures. If your broken dentures have characterization (coloring to make it look more natural) we will emulate those characterizations in your replacement.
