where can i buy dental impression material?

Answer 1

You can't... they're sold through dental supply companies and only sold to dentists and schools...

Use Silly Putty or Play-Doh for whatever you need it for~

Answer 2

Dental impression materials are rubber-like pastes or liquids.
Larger cities have dental supply outlets listed in the yellow pages where a variety of these can be purchased or try the link below from Dow Chemicals for more details and sources. The stuff can be expensive because it's a medical product, so a 2-tube set (base and catalyst) equal to a tube of toothpaste will cost $15 or $20.

A product used in industry and by CSI types to copy toolmarks is called RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicon rubber will make impressions, but don't put it in your mouth. A plastics supply outlet, such as TAP Plastics, listed below, carries it. Or try a crime scene supply company, like Sirchie: see link below, again.

Casting materials used by dentists include rubber-based described above, plastics used for things like the pink part of a denture that holds teeth, and plaster or gypsum products that are poured into the impressions made of teeth. If you think one of these is more suitable, the best place to see and discuss them is in person at a dental supply outlet.
