Why Have We Gone Digital?
Creating dentures the traditional way is often a very meticulous and time-consuming process, requiring multiple appointments and adjustments to achieve the perfect fit. However, with our new, digital technology we are streamlining this process, offering our patients a faster, more precise, and more comfortable solution for those needing to replace missing teeth!
What Are Digital Dentures?
Digital dentures are dentures that have been created using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies. Dental digital scanning helps your dentist map your teeth and gums using a wand-like device attached to their computer.
Your dentist will insert the wand into your mouth and move it gently around the bridge of the bottom and top teeth. As the scanner moves, the computer captures an accurate digital impression of your dentition. You’ll even be able to see your scan on the computer screen in real-time! The digital images create a highly accurate 3D model of the mouth, which is then used to design the denture with unparalleled precision.
Your digital denture is then crafted from a solid block of cured, hard resin. This material is ideal as it doesn’t disfigure as we cure the prosthetic, yielding a closer fit to your palate and gums compared to traditional dentures. We will also ensure natural aesthetics so that your dentures look and feel great!
