Where can I find gently used or free dentures?

I can’t afford dentures outright. I have dental insurance but it won’t cover the whole cost of my dentures. For the past 2 weeks or so, I have been thinking of ways to get some teeth in my mouth that are better than nothing. Do you know where I can find gently used or free dentures? Thanks. Cal

Cal – Gently used dentures aren’t the solution. They will cause more problems than they solve. Dentures that were made for someone else won’t fit you correctly because they were made based on a mold of someone else’s mouth. They will be too tight or too loose for you, continuously fall out or rub on your gums, and make it very difficult for you to eat and speak. You also have to be concerned about sanitary issues with pre-owned dentures.

It is possible that a dental clinic can provide affordable dentures for you. Or you can find a dentist who will provide a payment plan that accommodates your budget. If a payment plan will help you attain at least mid-quality dentures, they will look and feel more natural. And they will last longer. Too many people have purchased economy dentures and disliked them so much that they ended up spending more money on dentures that were acceptable to them.

Speak with a few dentists in your area to find out how dentures can be made affordable for you.
