How Our Dental
Impression Kit Works
Getting a custom dental appliance has never been easier—or more affordable.
Our dental impression kit lets you skip the dentist and get professional results from the comfort of your home.
A dental impression kit is an at-home kit that lets you mold your teeth and order a custom dental appliance - no dentist visit required. Our at-home teeth impression kit includes custom-fit trays, putty, step-by-step instructions, a prepaid return label, and a free photo review, and it's included with every custom order (a $59 value).

We Provide Support with Dental Insurance
At Dental Lab Direct, we want to help you maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket costs. While our licensed dentists are not directly affiliated with any dental insurance networks, our custom-made devices are often covered by most insurance plans as an out-of-network service. In many cases, these plans provide benefits similar to in-network care. You can also use your FSA/HSA for additional savings.
Our team is dedicated to simplifying the insurance process so you can focus on your smile rather than the paperwork. We accommodate the requirements of most major providers and are here to help ensure your insurance works for you.
If you are interested in one of our tooth replacement solutions, please let us know. We look forward to helping you achieve a healthier, happier smile with peace of mind.
If you answered correctly to these questions, CONGRATULATIONS! You’re a great candidate.
If you did not answer one or more questions correctly, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with our partners, The Teledentists before moving forward. Your physical health is our top priority. Click here to schedule your virtual appointment now.
Common Questions About At-Home Dental Impression Kits
What is a dental impression kit?
A dental impression kit is an at-home kit for making a mold of your teeth. You use the included trays and putty to take an impression, then mail it to a lab, which uses it to build a custom appliance - a partial, retainer, night guard, or veneers.
How does an at-home teeth impression kit work?
Your dental impression kit at home works in three steps: order the kit, follow the guide to take your dental impressions (about 10 minutes), and mail them back with the prepaid label. Your custom appliance arrives in about 3 to 4 weeks.
How much is a dental impression kit?
Our impression kit is a $59 value and is included at no extra charge with every custom order, so you're really only paying for the appliance itself.
Which is the best dental impression kit?
The best dental impression kit is one that's custom-fit, beginner-friendly, and reviewed by a real lab before it's used. Dental Lab Direct offers two - the No-Stress kit and the putty kit - and includes a free photo review so you get it right the first time.
