What is the difference between regular dentures and digital dentures?
Patients who need to replace most or all of their missing teeth with dentures often find the cost and number of visits for traditional dentures inconvenient. With digital dentures, patients no longer have to endure a long wait time, as our digital process allows our team to make the replacement teeth any shape or size with precision. Our custom dentures are also made with high-quality, durable materials, meaning they are less likely to break or wear out quickly, and patients don’t have to schedule as many follow-up visits with our team.
How are digital dentures made?
Digital dentures are minimally invasive and require few appointments. Our Grand Rapids dentist will take a scan of your mouth, teeth, and gums. This impression allows our dentist to determine the ideal bite pattern for your dentures. The information is used to create the custom dental prosthetic. Our digital dentures are always 3D printed with advanced technology, utilizing high-quality material.
Can digital dentures be ready in the same day?
Due to our emphasis on quality and precision, it’s not always possible for digital dentures to be ready the same day. Whether or not you can wear your dentures home the same day will be dependent on the fit of the dentures, your oral health, and your design.
How Long Do Digital Dentures Last?
Digital dentures, crafted with advanced dental technology, typically last between five to ten years. However, the longevity of digital dentures is similar to traditional dentures. Maintenance, wear and tear, and changes in oral health can all impact the condition of a digitally designed denture. Regular dental visits and proper care are the two most effective ways to extend the lifespan.
Are digital dentures as good as traditional dentures?
Sometimes, patients are under the impression that receiving their dental restorations quickly means that they were poorly made. Not only do digital dentures often match or surpass the quality of traditionally made dentures, but they are also customized down to the smallest details due to the use of incredibly precise digital impressions. Our digital dentures utilize high impact material, which resists breakage and keeps dentures working well and looking great for many years.
