Cloning Your Denture – Denture Duplication.
Yes, it is true. If you have an existing denture(s) that you like and are comfortable with, a few hours is all it takes to make a clone mold to duplicate your denture(s).
In most cases, you will get your original denture(s) back within hours and a completed clone in three to five days.
SOME ADVANTAGES ARE:
1. The cost is about 75% less than new denture(s) ($159.00 per denture upper or lower).
2. It is NOT necessary to make an appointment with a dentist or undergo uncomfortable impressions of your mouth.
3. A duplicate denture can be a true lifesaver when something like breakage or loss happens to your original denture. You can easily avoid the embarrassment of having to go out in public without dentures by having a spare or clone denture. Ask any of our lab technicians or dentists how many lost or damaged dentures they encounter daily. You’d be surprised what can happen to your dentures… from dogs chewing on your dentures after enjoying a tasty meal, vacationing denture-wearers having their dentures washed out to sea by a large wave, or careless hospital personnel or caregivers accidentally tossing them in the trash, or even misplacing them. Trust us when we say we have heard them all! We highly recommend you have a spare set of dentures made in case of an emergency. It’s like getting a flat tire and you realize you don’t have a spare tire in the trunk of your car!
4. A clone denture is an exact duplicate, sometimes referred to as an embarrassment denture. The teeth and pink denture base are made of all-new materials. The unique part is that our clone dentures are made ready-to-wear. It will feel just like your original. The fit and bite of your duplicate denture rarely needs to be adjusted. You do not need to “break in” your duplicate denture. This is convenient for elderly patients that do not wish to go through the hassle of attending several visits to the dentist.
A friendly reminder…The ADA (American Dental Association) and most dental insurances companies recommend your denture be replaced every five years. Almost every insurance company will pay for a new denture every five years.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT A CLONE DENTURE:
1. It is an EXACT duplicate of your existing denture and we use new, high-impact, break-resistant denture base material (pink gum material).
2. The teeth will be EXACTLY the same shape and size of your original denture. The shade of the teeth can be made lighter or darker upon request. In addition, you can add GOLD teeth to your denture.
3. The best candidates are new dentures immediately after they have been fitted and all adjustments have been made because there is no tooth wear, but any denture, new or old, can be cloned.
4. Denture cloning is only suggested for well-fitting, comfortable dentures – the only reason being the duplicate is an exact copy of the original denture.
5. Any necessary repairs to your existing denture, including breakage, missing teeth, holes, and thin areas can and must be repaired before the clone mold is made.
6. Clones are an excellent alternative for elderly, home-bound patients who may have difficulty getting to a dental office.
7. A clone denture eliminates the “breaking in” phase of a new denture.
8. An ideal time for a clone to be made is when your denture needs repair due to a loose tooth or fracture. Your denture will need to go to a dental lab for repair. A clone mold can easily be made at this time.
Types of Dentures
Standard Dentures
Dentures are artificial replacements used to replace teeth when you no longer have natural teeth. They are used by millions of people with acceptable results.
Immediate dentures
Immediate dentures are dentures that are inserted into a patient’s mouth on the same day or immediately after teeth are extracted. They are made by a dental lab from impressions or molds that are made before teeth are extracted. They work well for patients that can not wait three to six months for their gums to heal after extractions. They will require relining or replacement after six to 12 months after shrinkage and healing is complete.
Cusil Dentures
Cusil Dentures are partial dentures with soft rubber or silicone gaskets placed around existing or remaining teeth to help hold the partial denture in place.
Overdentures
Overdentures are dentures that are made over existing teeth in the mouth. Usually, they are teeth that have been capped or crowned. They help secure the denture in place.
Implant Retained Dentures and Mini Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures are dentures that are secured in place by implants or attachments that have been surgically placed in a patient’s upper or lower jawbone to make the denture more secure. Mini implant retained dentures perform the same function, but are used for patients with smaller jawbones.
Duplicate Dentures
Duplicate, clone, spare. or embarrassment dentures are usually dentures made or molded from an existing denture and used for an emergency spare denture. They can be made in several different ways. The most inexpensive way is to mold or duplicate an existing denture. The cost for this is about 25% of the cost of making new dentures from an impression. No additional dentist appointment is required.
