[QUOTE="drm313mac, post: 54725, member: 5830"] Joseph, The Larell One Step Dentures are a prefab system, and I have no idea where they are made or the quality of the materials. The system is basically a "boil-n-bite" system. The dentist measures the arch(s),the pre-fab size is selected. It is then heated (in hot water) then inserted. While it is still hot the rims are molded to the patient's arch. The denture is then relined to fit. Prosthodontics teaches us that no amount of relines can correct a seriously incorrect bite, and so this denture seldom functions correctly. IF everyone were the same this would work. Hope that helped you to understand the premise. These are often sold as a temporary denture. The nearest distributor to me here in VA is Dr. Alouf in Salem VA. He sells them (to dentists) for $175 per plate. I have no idea what he sells to the customer for. Here is the e-mail he sent me: Dear Dr. McGuire, I am the regional distributor for Larell Dentures. I received your phone message and I am sorry for the delay in responding to you. The Larell denture templates are sold at a cost of $175.oo an arch. This translates to a cost of 360.00 per set including reline materials. I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further needs. Respectfully, Stephen B. Alouf DDS Alouf Aesthetic Dentistry 1616 Apperson Drive Salem, Virginia 24153 540-375-0095 540-375-0097 Fax aloufaesthetics.com [/QUOTE]
