Where is everyone getting their full gold or open faced gold teeth.

I only know of Masel and Starlight. Starlight is ok but I just had a recent issue with them that kind of ticked me off an delayed a case so I'm open to a better run business. I haven't tried Masel but I had heard some issues with them in the past and that they were rather expensive.

Any suggestions?

Got a buddy with a torch?

Edit: that's the only two suppliers I know of.

Call your local funeral home.
I tried to get dentures that way for material testing. After the funny looks and explanations they said that they are left in for looks.

Maybe I shouldn't have worn the tie dye shirt with the Solar System mapped on it.

If your local funeral home leave them in for looks, I think they might be the minority.
My understanding from experience is that even complete dentures are removed prior to
cremation, and they use a rubber prop or something to support the face and the lips are sewn
shut. If straight burial, may not be the same. Know because pt family requested pt be cremated
with her precious dentures and home declined.
I have also heard homes that would remove all the crowns and recycle the alloy on their own but
don't quote me on that. Kind of an area not open to public . . .

Their most plain one goes for $72 . . .
Wonder how that compares with Masel and Starlight - those I think includes the acrylic.

Years ago I worked with a GP that was known about town as the guy to call to recover bridge work or cast plates from corpses before burial or cremation.

Everybody has to have a niche.

Why not just do the BDT technique with gold.. Burnout your denture teeth or cut them back and cast them in your choice of alloy.
