What is a Digital Denture

Digital dentures are a modern type of prosthetic teeth designed and fabricated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology rather than traditional manual, "goopy" methods. The entire process is digitized—from 3D scans of the mouth to 3D print.
 
Key Features and Benefits
    • Fewer Appointments: Usually completed in two visits—one for scanning and one for final fitting—due to faster digital design and fabrication.
    • Superior Fit and Comfort: The high-resolution 3D scans capture precise details, leading to a better-fitting, more comfortable prosthetic with fewer, if any, painful sore spots.
    • Durable and Strong: These dentures are often made from high-density, Lucitone 199 non-porous resin that is 8 times stronger than traditional acrylic, making them resistant to odors, stains, and breakage.
    • Easy Replacements: Since the design is stored as a digital file, if you lose or break your dentures, a new, identical pair can be printed without needing new, messy impressions.
    • Improved Hygiene: The dense material resists bacterial buildup better than traditional materials. 

How They Are Made
  1. Digital Impression: An intraoral scanner is used to take a 3D image of the mouth, avoiding uncomfortable putty.
  2. Digital Design: The data is imported into CAD software, allowing for precise customization of the teeth and base.
  3. Production: The final denture is produced using a 3D printer , creating a high-fidelity, accurate product.
