Whether it is for a costume or a practical joke, you may want to get your hands on a good set of fake teeth at some point in your life. You can get a set of plastic vampire fangs or other fake teeth at a costume shop. Yet, if you want something a bit more realistic and better fitting, you should purchase from vendors that specialize in fake teeth.

Finding Fake Teeth

Websites such as Dr. Bukk and Dental Distortions offer a wide variety of fake teeth designs for sale. They cost a little more than a set of fake teeth from the costume shop, but they do not cost as much as a professional dental prosthesis. In some cases, these fake teeth are even safe to wear while eating and drinking. The types of fake teeth available range from teeth extrapolated from reality (such as the stereotypes of British dental hygiene and hillbillies) to ones taken from creatures out of fantasy and horror films (such as orcs and vampires). Choose the fake teeth that fit with your costume or event.

Ordering Fake Teeth

For any prosthetic mouthpiece, it is essential to make sure that it fits your mouth properly. Fake teeth are somewhat less effective if they are falling out of your mouth or causing you to drool excessively. Fake teeth, like any dental appliance, come in an array of sizes. Some companies that specialize in fake teeth might ask you to bite down on a business card very hard and then send it to them with your order. Business cards tend to be made of tougher paper stock than standard-issue paper, so they will hold an impression of teeth more reliably. From this impression, the fake teeth specialty company can then extrapolate what size of fake teeth will best fit your mouth. If you have a company nearby that specializes in fake teeth, you may be able to go in for a professional fitting. The more high-end vendors will rely on techniques, such as dental molds, to cast prosthetic teeth that will perfectly fit your mouth. However, such options are usually a lot more expensive. Unless your dentist prescribes the fake teeth, it is unlikely that your purchase will be covered by dental insurance.
