This article describes 2 patients who presented with self-made dentures. Each patient had a different motivation for avoiding professional dental treatment. One patient made her own denture because she could not afford dental care, while the other could afford such care but avoided treatment due to a dental phobia. A discussion of diagnosis and treatment planning is presented for each situation.
