How do partial dentures work?
Partial dentures, also known as removable bridges, are custom made prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth for people who are missing some, but not all of their natural teeth.
They use specially designed "arms" called clasps that wrap around your natural teeth to provide retention and stability to your partial denture.
What’s the difference between partial dentures and dental implants?
Partial dentures are a removable device, while dental implants are designed to be permanently fixed into your mouth.
Dental implants generally consist of the implant itself which screws into your bone to provide anchor points for a series of crowns and/or dentures to be attached to it.
Implants are generally far more expensive than partial dentures, are very invasive and can require additional complex and expensive treatment in the future if complications arise.
How do you make sure it matches the color and shade of my own natural teeth?
A tooth shade match card is included in your At-home Impression kit. You hold this card next to your teeth and take a selfie and upload it at resetsmile.com/upload when you mail back your impressions.
Our dental lab uses this photo to match your natural tooth shade when making your device - we have over a dozen natural tooth shades and multiple gum shades too.
Is ResetSmile made in the USA?
Yes, ResetSmile is proudly made in the USA.
Does ResetSmile work with broken teeth?
We can definitely replace the missing teeth. For broken teeth, it really depends on how far down broken they are, and how much space exists to build a stable device in the gap caused by the broken teeth and also whether they are healthy and our reviewing Dentist approves it.
We really can’t tell until we get your impressions and photos and the dentist reviews it. But we do often find that we can make devices over some broken teeth if there is sufficient space.
Do you make full dentures / a full arch of teeth?
Unfortunately no, ResetSmile is appropriate for those missing some, but not all, of their teeth because each custom-made device is made of a flexible material that grips onto the remaining teeth along the gumline to securely snap into place.
Do you ship to Canada or other countries outside the USA?
Unfortunately not at the present time as we ship and sell only in the USA. We hope to expand in the future.
What if I'm not sure whether I'm a good candidate for ResetSmile because of my particular dental condition?
If after you mail in your dental impression our dental team and/or licensed dentist determines that ResetSmile is not appropriate for you given your dental condition and we cannot make you a device, we will notify you and issue a full refund to your method of payment.
Can you eat with ResetSmile? (Hint: Yes!)
Yes! ResetSmile is a truly dentist-grade device designed to help you eat normally while wearing it in addition to smiling confidently. It is to be removed for brushing, flossing, and cleaning.
What are my tooth replacement options if I am only missing some teeth?
For those who are missing one tooth or have several missing teeth but are not missing all their teeth, ResetSmile is a great solution that looks natural, lets you chew food normally, requires no surgery, and requires no metal in your mouth. Tooth replacement options like implants or fixed bridges are invasive and expensive.
ResetSmile is made of the same flexible material used for decades by dentists. It’s a removable and comfortable tooth replacement option that costs less than other alternatives. Best of all, you can get ResetSmile without ever leaving home by using our at-home mail-in impression kit.
Is ResetSmile approved by a real doctor?
Yes. Every aspect of your treatment with the ResetSmile system is doctor-prescribed and doctor-managed by an assigned state-licensed dentist. Your ResetSmile purchase price automatically includes this service, which is provided to you through our partnership with Dentulu, America’s largest online teledentistry provider. Upon completing your purchase and providing your dental & health information online, Dentulu will electronically assign you a Board Certified Dentist (for each of the 50 US states), who will evaluate the dental/medical history and impressions you submit to make sure ResetSmile is appropriate for you, create and prescribe your treatment plan, oversee the digital device design, and approve your final ResetSmile device before it is shipped to you.
What is the difference between ResetSmile and dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option to replace missing teeth that involves dental implant surgery and healing time. While they are a good solution to the problem of missing teeth, implants are the most expensive and most invasive of all the tooth replacement options. Many people can either not afford dental implants, or do not want to undergo surgery to implant the post. For that, ResetSmile is often a good solution.
ResetSmile also works great for those who want a cosmetic and comfortable temporary solution while undergoing surgery for dental implants. ResetSmile can be used as a transitional appliance for when implants have been placed and/or when you are waiting to receive your final crowns.
Can ResetSmile replace teeth in the back of my mouth?
Yes, we can replace back teeth. What we do is custom-design each device to the individual dental anatomy using our 3D software and printing process based on the impressions you submit.
If there are no remaining teeth posterior to the missing teeth, the device is designed to grip along the undercuts (right along the gumline, the Valplast flexes a little bit to grab on) of the remaining tooth or teeth in front of the missing teeth.
How long do I wait after an extraction to take molds?
Please ask the dentist who did the extraction how long to wait before taking impressions. They typically advise 4-6 weeks until the extraction site is fully healed.

The dental industry defines partial dentures as temporary as they can be removed for fittings, cleaning or other reasons. This is in contrast to other teeth replacement options like dental implants that are considered permanent.
Dental implants require surgery where a metal post is set into your jaw. Once healed a tooth is then applied to the post. Dental implants are expensive, intrusive and the treatment can take months.
Our partial dentures are affordable, convenient and don't require in office dentist visits. We can provide you a custom fit partial denture from the comfort of your home.

A licensed dentist that is certified in your state will then review your case and our solution for approval before we mail it back to you.
