Multiple: There are many types of false teeth. A partial, a denture, an all on four denture supported by implants. In a way a crown is even a type of porcelain or zirconia false tooth. Your dentist will use a lab or have an in house lab to make these devices. An implant supported denture is made with a titanium bar and is produced by a special lab. An implant surgeon and cosmetic dentist work together.

My making you mean?: In almost all cases it is a dental technician who actually fabricates the false teeth. It is the dentist (general dentist or prosthodontist) who diagnoses, treats, orders and delivers (or inserts) the "false teeth" from the dental technician.

Prosthodontist: Excellent question. Spread the word ! a prosthodontist trains for 2 - 3 additional years after becoming a dentist to become the expert at rebuilding and replacing teeth. It is worth your while to see one.

Prosthodontist: Although general dentists can easily make dentures (false teeth), they can also be fabricated by dentists who are specialists in this aspect of dentistry, called prosthodontists. They have extensive training and expertise in this area which may produce a better result. Keep smiling !
