3D-printed dentures
Restore aesthetics and optimal function
When you come to Dental Paradiso, you can expect your custom 3D printed dentures to be precise, durable and personalised to match your specific needs. Using our advanced 3D printer, we customise your dentures to ensure optimal comfort, aesthetics and functionality long into the future.
What are dentures?
If you have missing teeth, you probably need dentures, which are also known as false teeth. These removable prosthetic devices which restore the aesthetics of a natural smile and allow you to speak and chew much like you did before you experienced partial or complete tooth loss.
Who needs dentures?
You might need dentures if you experience:
If you notice any of these signs, you should seek a thorough assessment and personalised advice from one of our experienced dentists.
Types of 3D printed dentures
Full dentures
Full dentures, or complete dentures, replace all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or both. Precise customisation of full dentures is made possible by 3D printing technology, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are still intact. They fill in the gaps created by missing teeth, making the mouth look great and do everything it needs to do. These dentures seamlessly blend with existing teeth because of the meticulous accuracy of 3D printing and the artistry of your dentist choosing the materials.
Immediate dentures
Where a tooth extraction is expected, immediate dentures can be produced in advance of the procedure. This type of temporary denture is promptly placed right after extraction, entirely cutting out the difficult experience of living with a tooth gap while you await your more permanent solution. 3D printing expedites the fabrication of immediate dentures, delivering quick and reliable dentures right when they are needed.
Implant-supported dentures
Implant-supported dentures are attached to dental implants to provide improved stability and function. 3D printing is crucial to ensuring a perfect fit with implant structures.
Overdentures
Overdentures are designed to fit over remaining natural teeth, dental implants or roots. 3D printing facilitates the creation of overdentures with a focus on individualised style, fit and comfort, contributing to improved treatment satisfaction.
Denture base and teeth
Beyond the complete denture, we use a 3D printer to create individual components like the denture base and teeth. This modular approach allows for efficient customisation and replacement of specific elements, optimising the overall denture design.
Diagnostic models
3D-printed models of your dentition and jawbone can be used for diagnostic purposes, helping your dentist plan your treatment and serving as visual aids to ensure you understand your oral health situation and treatment options.
Denture accessories
Accessories such as clasps, retainers and connectors can be customised using 3D printing to improve the fit, function and aesthetics of dentures.
Why choose 3D-printed dentures?
Precision and personalisation: Precision and personalisation are the hallmarks of dentures produced using 3D printing technology. These dentures are finely tailored to your unique oral structure.
Improved aesthetics: 3D printing enables the creation of natural-looking dentures that closely resemble your original teeth, enhancing overall aesthetics and confidence.
Enhanced comfort: The precise fit achieved through 3D printing results in dentures that offer superior comfort, reducing potential issues like irritation and discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
Customisation: During the digital design process, we can easily customise your dentures. You will be involved in this process, making informed decisions which contribute to the final appearance of your prosthetics.
Durability: High-quality materials in 3D printing at Dental Paradiso ensures that your dentures are durable, highly-functional and resistant to breakage.
Faster production: Clinics, such as Dental Paradiso, who have invested in 3D printing technology are able to 3D print dentures in-house. This boosts efficiency, and reduces the production time, providing a quicker solution for your needs.
Process of making 3D-printed dentures
1. Digital scanning: We will take digital impressions of your upper and lower jaw using an intraoral scanner. These scans are then used to generate a detailed 3D digital model of your oral anatomy.
2. Design and customisation: We use 3D dental modelling software to design your dentures. This involves determining the appropriate size, shape and arrangement of your teeth. We consider factors like facial structure, chewing patterns and aesthetic preferences. The dentures can be customised to match your natural teeth in terms of colour, shape and size, creating a more natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
3. 3D printing: Once the design is finalised, the dentures are sent to a 3D printer. The 3D printer will use a biocompatible material (e.g., acrylic resin or PEEK polyether ether ketone) to build the dentures layer by layer according to the digital design. This process ensures precision and accuracy in creating the desired shape and structure.
4. Post-processing and finishing: After printing, the dentures undergo a series of post-processing steps to remove support structures, refine the surface finish and ensure biocompatibility. This may involve sanding, polishing and applying a protective coating.
5. Trial fitting and adjustments: The finished dentures are then fitted to your mouth for evaluation. We will check for comfort, fit and occlusion (how your teeth bite together). Adjustments may be made to the dentures to optimise their fit and function.
6. Delivery and follow-up care: Once the dentures are satisfactory, we will provide instructions on proper care and maintenance. Regular follow-up visits are crucial to monitor the dentures’ condition, ensure proper fit and address any issues that may arise.
