The Benefits Of 3D Printed Dentures
The benefits of 3D printed dentures are many, and include improvements in precision and fit, improved aesthetic considerations, and efficiency upgrades that mean you spend less time in the dental chair over fewer appointments.
Improved Precision
Perhaps the most important benefit of 3D printed dentures is the increased precision they offer. This increased accuracy has trickle down effects through all benefits that digital dentures offer, and improves fit, aesthetics, consistency, and efficiency.
Our digital scans capture highly detailed information, in a format that was unavailable previously, and results in exceptional accuracy and a more personalized fit.
Exceptional Fit And Comfort
The process for both fitting and manufacturing dentures is more accurate than traditional methods, and results in dentures that fit better and offer more comfort over the long term.
Well-fitting dentures help reduce pain, are stable in the mouth, and require less maintenance than dentures that fit poorly. With 3D printed dentures, you can be certain you’ll be getting the best fit.
Better Looking
Because 3D printed dentures are so accurate, they often look better. Our dentures can better match your natural tooth color and allow for adjustments during the scanning, digital-fitting, and manufacturing process that improve overall aesthetics.
More Consistent
Due to the digital and more accurate nature of the workflow, 3D printed dentures are much more consistent than traditional methods. This results in fewer mistakes, less time spent fitting and re-fitting, and an overall consistency that helps reduce the time you spend in our office.
More Efficient
3D printed dentures are remarkably efficient, improving the efficiency of traditional dentures significantly. Because design modifications can be made digitally before the dentures themselves are created, ultimately, this means less time in the dental chair for you. Clinical adjustments are also minimized after manufacturing.
Improved Records
One significant advantage of the 3D printed dentures process is that patient records are stored electronically, allowing easier access in the future. For example, if a denture appliance is damaged, the existing digital records may be used to easily create a new prosthetic.
An Absolute Dental Case Study
Dr. Samuel Samaroo and his team at Absolute Dental recently delivered a life-changing smile with a 3D printed denture workflow. A patient needed a full denture replacement, and the goal was to leverage digital records and modern manufacturing to simplify treatment, while maintaining the clinical outcomes expected from a conventional process.
The result was a successful clinical outcome, while preserving efficiency for both the patient and the practice. One of the most significant observations was the relationship between the try-in and the final prosthesis.
“The try-in was remarkably close to the final product, which almost never happens in a conventional case,” Dr. Samaroo said.
Overall, Absolute Dental’s 3D printed process offers improved fit, aesthetics, retention, and reduced need for adjustments.
“[The patient] looked in the mirror and their face just lit up,” said Dr. Samaroo. “They kept saying how natural it felt and how they couldn’t believe it was done so quickly.”
