I get this question a lot — someone lands on the site, sees several different kits, and isn't sure which one matches what they're dealing with. The easiest way to narrow it down is to start with how many teeth you're replacing and whether you already have a denture.
If you're missing one tooth
If you have one missing tooth with a natural tooth on both sides of the gap, start with the Single Tooth Replacement Kit. It doesn't require an impression. You choose the tooth number shown on the chart, and the kit includes four close tooth sizes so you can file and shape the best match for your gap.
This option isn't for the last tooth at the back or a gap without neighboring teeth on both sides. If your situation doesn't meet that requirement, choose an impression-based option instead.
If you're replacing several front teeth
For a front gap involving more than one tooth, the Missing Front Tooth Kit with Impression is the better place to start. This kit uses an impression so you can build from a model of your own mouth.
If you're missing most or all of your teeth
The Complete DIY Denture Kit with Putty Impression is designed for a larger full or partial project. It includes impression putty, dental stone, acrylic teeth, reheatable gum material and the basic supplies needed to work through the project at home.
If you'd rather use alginate for the impression, compare the DIY Alginate Denture Kit.
If you already have a denture and it's loose
If you already have a hard denture and the main problem is that it has become loose, you may not need a complete new kit. The Denture Reliner Kit uses reheatable material inside the denture to help you adjust the fit.
If you only need replacement teeth
Already have the other materials? You can shop the Acrylic Replacement Teeth collection instead of buying another complete kit.
Quick way to choose:
- 1 missing tooth + teeth on both sides → Single Tooth Replacement Kit
- Several missing front teeth → Missing Front Tooth Kit with Impression
- Full or larger partial project → Complete Putty Kit or Alginate Kit
- Existing denture is loose → Denture Reliner Kit
- Only need teeth → Acrylic Replacement Teeth
If you're still unsure, message us before ordering and describe how many teeth you're missing and where the gap is. It's much easier to help you choose the right starting point before you order.
