Most of us have been going to our dentists for years and trust them impeccably. However, when your dentist tells you that it’s time for dentures, you should consider getting a second opinion from a dentist who specializes in dentures. I don’t want to give you false hope: over 25% of people over the age of 65 have lost all of their teeth. However, with the advances in technology, there may be other options available to you that dentists who specialize in dentures can offer.
When you’re first going through the process of determining whether you should be getting dentures, make sure your dentist goes over the entire process and why they believe their recommended option is the best. Then, go to another dentist who is a specialist for a second opinion. I suggest a dentist that offers same day dentures or one who specifically states that they specialize in dentures.
A dentist that offers same day dentures often specializes in creating custom made dentures. They’re able to offer same day dentures because they have an on-site lab. The great thing about these dentists is that most of their clients are denture wearers – they have the experience in determining if you really need a full set of dentures or if you’ll be able to get by with just a partial denture. Plus, since they have an on-site lab, you’ll be able to get your dentures faster than the typical dentist’s office.
