This kit includes the following:
• Full set of 28 synthetic resin teeth (preformed on a hidden stabilizing wire). Our premium resin teeth were hand-selected for their durability and color accuracy. These teeth can be used for either full or partial dentures. Upper and lower teeth included. Your choice of shade A1 (white) or A2 (natural).
• Ultra-durable gum material. 30 grams of our custom designed heat-activated gum material. Simply place this material in hot water to soften while crafting your denture. Once done crafting, allow to sit at room temperature to harden. Reheat and adjust as many times as necessary.
• Impression Trays (upper and lower). These trays are used with the included impression putty to take an impression of your teeth/gums. Back by the Tray-fit Guarantee - If your impression tray doesn't fit, we'll send you a new one free of charge! See the guide below for size recommendations.
• Dental impression putty. Use this dental putty with the impression trays to take an impression of your gums/teeth. Includes enough for upper and lower impressions.
• Casting stone (plaster). Casting plaster is used to fill the putty impression to create a plaster replica of your mouth/gums. This allows you to craft your denture on the table in front of you (instead of working directly inside your mouth).
• Fixodent dental adhesive sampler. Used to hold your new denture in place.
• Gloves, emery board, brush, denture cup, denture cleaning tablets.
• Clear and concise instructions, professionally written. Friendly and helpful support before and after purchase.
• Friendly and helpful customer service accompanies every purchase. Message or email before, during, or after your purchase for customized help.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I'm not very crafty, can I do this?
A: Yes! You do not need to be an artist to craft a denture from our kit, but you do need to have patience. This kit may not work for everyone, but it has helped many to regain their smiles. The heat-activated pink gum material is very forgiving, and can be remade unlimited times just by reheating in hot water. Read the instructions and watch our instructional videos before beginning, and contact us with any problems.
Q: What are the different SHADES of teeth?
A: We currently carry two shades of teeth: A1 and A2. These are two common shades in the dental industry. Shade A1 is a realistic pearly white tooth color (great if your making full dentures, and don't have to color match your existing teeth). Shade A2 is a duller natural tooth color (fits in best if your surrounding teeth are less-than-white)
Q: What are the different SIZES of teeth?
A: Regular: our standard size teeth, fits most women and small-to-average sized men.
Large: Slightly larger variety of teeth, best for those with bigger jaws, large men, or anyone choosing a size large tray.
Q: I am missing all my top teeth / all my bottom teeth / all teeth, will this work for me?
A: Yes, this kit contains the material needed to make full or partial dentures. Included is enough material to make upper and lower dentures.
Q: I am missing a few teeth, will this kit work for me?
A: Yes, you can cut away any unneeded teeth from the stabilizing wire, allowing you to create a partial denture of any size.
Q: How does this compare to professional dentures?
A: This kit is not meant to permanently replace professional dentures. This is a temporary solution for those who don't have access to professional dentures or implants. That said, the materials included in the kit are very durable. When hard, the pink gum material is strong and long-lasting. The teeth are a stain resistant resin meant to replicate the strength of natural teeth.
Q: Do you have different sizes and shades of teeth?
A: We carry the preformed teeth in several common sizes and shades. Shade A1 is a beautiful (but realistic) white, and shade A2 is a duller natural shade which may blend in better with your surrounding teeth.
Q: What is an "impression kit"?
A: Your denture must fit up against your gums securely in order to work. Instead of molding the pink gum material directly to your gums, use the impression kit to make a plaster replica of your teeth and gums. The result looks like a small statue of your mouth, and allows you to craft your denture on the table in front of you before putting it in your mouth.
Q: What if I buy your kit and don't understand something?
A: Our team checks messages and emails constantly to provide you with 5-star customer support. We strive to answer all messages ASAP, sometimes in as little as a few minutes.
Q: How is the denture held in place?
A: The pink gum material is spread across your gums during the crafting process, and it is held in place with dental adhesive. We include a sampler of Fixodent with all kits.
Q: Can I eat with the denture?
A: If correctly crafted and secured in place with dental adhesive, this denture can support eating most foods. It may not work well for tough foods like steak, but this is a limitation of the denture adhesive, not the strength of the gum material or resin teeth. Even professional dentures have this limitation.
