DENTURES-what is the difference between laboratory dentures and dentures at your dentists office?

Question

I had my first upper denture from a drive by lab and everyone said i have a horse smile with grey gums.Im now needing new top and bottom and im wondering what the difference is useing a lab or my dentist besides money. and is there a denture thats in between implants and hard roof top dentures.the implants are to much money and hard roof top dentures dont let you tastes anything.

Answer 1

THIS THE REASON WHY A DENTIST NEEDS TO MAKE THE DENTURE FOR YOU NOT SOME DRIVE-BY-LAB.
THERE ARE ONLY 3 STATES WERE A DENTURIST CAN MAKE YOU A DENTURE IN THE U.S. EVERYWHERE ELSE IT MUST BE A LICENSED DENTIST.
AS FAR AS A DENTURE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TASTE THERE IS NO SUCH A DENTURE.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE THE HARD PALATE MUST BE COVERED BY PLASTIC IN ORDER T HAVE A PROPER SUCTION AND THIS WILL COMPLETELY ALTER YOUR SENSE OF TASTE.
IMPLANTS ARE IDEAL BECAUSE A DENTURE MAY BE MADE WITH AN OPEN PALATE WHERE SUCTION IS NOT NEEDED AND YOUR SENSE OF TASTE CAN BE NORMAL. THIS IS CALLED AN IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURE.

Answer 2

theres not really not much difference. Dentures from a dentist are made in a dental lab anyway. Its all about the skill of the person making the denture. Ive never really heard of a "drive by lab" but go figure. U get what u pay for. At least with a dentist if you dont like it you can have it changed
