Dental services are becoming more advanced, and with the rise of technology, gone are the days when dental patients had to bear extensive waiting periods for dentures, either dentures alone or with the support of dental implants. Today, digital dentures have revolutionized dental services, promising to deliver dentures quickly while maintaining high quality. If you’re wondering what to expect when getting dentures, what exactly digital dentures are, how they work, the denture process, and what benefits they offer dental patients, Pier 210 Dental can help!
What are Digital Dentures?
Digital dentures are traditionally made from computer-aided design/computer-aided
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. These technologies are used to design, fabricate, and produce dentures that precisely align with your dental structure, resulting in a nearly perfect fit. Through 3D scanning and printing technology, digital dentures can be produced without the need for time-consuming impressions, which often requiring several visits to the dental offices. The denture process is streamlined, and the results are astounding, making it an ideal choice for dental patients who are looking for quick dental solutions.
What to Expect When Getting Dentures
Digital dentures work by creating a denture mold using a digital scan of the impression of your gum tissue. The digital scan is used to design a digital denture model, which is then either milled or 3D printed. The 3D digital denture is then polished and finished with a high degree of precision before being fitted to your mouth. The denture process is quick and efficient, with the need for fewer dentist visits, making it easier for patients to get fast results while ensuring the quality of the end product.
What are the Benefits of Digital Dentures?
Digital dentures offer several benefits to dental patients, including:
- Fast turnaround: Digital dentures have a quick turnaround time, allowing them to be produced much faster than traditional implant dentures. This translates into less time in the dental chair and a more comfortable experience.
- Better fit: Digital dentures are more accurate than conventional dentures. They are designed precisely to fit your teeth’s shape and size, ensuring a comfortable fit that is less prone to irritation or shifting.
- Improved aesthetics: Digital dentures are more aesthetically pleasing, mimicking the natural appearance of your teeth. With digital dentures, you can smile with confidence knowing that your teeth look natural.
- High-quality material: Digital dentures are made from high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting, ensuring that they do not wear out prematurely.
- Fewer visits to the dental office: Digital dentures require fewer visits to the dental office, which saves you time and money.
- Digital record of the denture (digital copy). We are now creating a digital copy of your denture so we can fabricate an exact copy in only a couple days or create a spare denture for emergency use.
