Do i need to go to a dentist to be fitted for false teeth?

Yes: In the USA only a licensed dentist can prescribe and "fit" you with dentures (false teeth). However, in most cases, a dentist will send your impessions (molds) and his instuctions directly to a denture dental laboratory, that will ultimately fabricate the dentures. The lab will in turn send the final dentures back to the dentist for final delivery and intraoral (inside the mouth) adjustments.

Absolutely!: A dentist will first check your mouth to be sure it's healthy so dentures can be made. Sometimes conditions must be corrected in the mouth before moulds can be made so the dentures will fit properly when made. The dentist will take records of your mouth and recommend the color, materials and shape of the teeth so the final result works right and looks natural for your face.

Absolutely: See a prosthodontist. They are specialists in this treatment. They will give you all your options for replacing your teeth. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Yes: While some states allow someone with very limited training to make dentures, you need a dentist to determine that your gums are healthy enough to start wearing dentures. They will make sure the bone underneath is smooth, all the pieces of teeth are removed, and that the gums are pink and healthy. You will be wearing those dentures for years. Get it done right the first time.

No: You also don't need to go to a mechanic to fix your broken car. However, there is a reason experts are 'experts'. If you want quality care, proper treatment, and the best result, i'd recommend a trained medical professional. Don't you believe you're worth it to have a medical professional do this for you? I do.

YES: Not possible to have anything made other than custom-made by a dentist. Can't make your own if you actually want to wear them. Need a dentist to get the impressions, correct bite, and a comfortable fit.
