  • really? where is your office located? a dentist at age 26? wow? are you a freak of nature smartie pants...you must have gone to a super fast school? maby you just work at a dentist office? either way...WHO THE HECK ARE YOU to question a profesional that obviously is qualified......

    ps: nice star wars page....lol

  • perms next year but the dentist and denturist (did I spell that right?) did such a good job on the look of my immediates that I might just tell them I want my perms to look like that, too, when it comes time. But, anyway, not ALL "Affordable Denture" places are bad, but the ones that ARE give the good ones a bad rep and make people un-necessarily wary of them.

  • 4 and 1/2 months my former dentist was jerking me around. $2600 later, I still had no dentures. I went to a local dentist who also had a denture lab. $1800 and I walked out with dentures. He even did a couple of fit tests. Free of charge. Love my local.

  • @canadianbleueyes He was saying that all 4 "appointments" were compressed into one.

  • I hate the way this guy talks. I feel like he is talking to a bunch of retards on the other side of the camera...

  • why do they call them same day dentures if he is saying ummm oh day 1 we do this, day 2 we do this and day 3 we do this and then the 4 appointment we make you smile with new dentures and then you pay an arm and a leg for them ....so you see same day dentures is bullshit...it's 4 wk dentures DUHHHHHH Dr. what's your name. shish some people so try to suck us in...get over yourself.

  • wow

    However, when it comes to removable prosthetics, I am quite qualified to give my own professional opinion. I am not saying what Dr. Ballard is doing is wrong, but I am not comfortable with doing this kind of denture myself, as the potential for small errors to be incorporated into the fit and the bite is too large for me to be able to stand behind my work.

    Oh, and that is a Star Wars AND Star Trek mash-up video. I favorited it because it is hilarious.

  • continued:

    Their cases usually have teeth set outside functional limits because lab techs would rather blow the function of a case than spend time grinding teeth on an individual with large ridges. The only thing we part out to labs is metal work on partials and implant bars, because we are not set up or trained for it, everything else, we like to have control over.

    So no, I am not a doctor, and if Dr. Ballard were talking about root canals or complex extractions, I would not have an opinion.

  • I'm up in Canada. I am not a dentist, I'm a denturist. Our schooling is 2 years, plus a 2 year practicum before we're licensed, and I have already made more dentures than most dentists make in their careers. There are still some holdout dentists who make dentures, and some of them are very good. But by and large, they take impressions and take a bite, then ship everything to a lab.
