Complete Dentures

Digitally designed dentures can be done in a variety of ways. We can use your existing dentures as impression trays and as a design template if you like or we can start right from scratch. Furthermore, we can provide a try in that you can take home and try out situations such as chewing and eating and speaking.

Digitally designed dentures will appear and fit just like the final denture. Our scanners are good at 10 microns and the printers will print down to 10 microns, making them the most accurate in town. the occlusions generated by the computer use tooth libraries that are already setup. There is little grinding necessary, the fit is phenomenal resulting in far fewer adjustments.

The files used to generate the final denture are saved and if you lose a set or a single denture your temporary can be used as a spare set. So, we can print out another set in a matter of a few days.

The second-generation resins should last as long as insurance grade dentures and the price of the dentures is about the same as normal standard dentures.

Standard Dentures are what we call economy or insurance grade. They are a basic form of denture and are meant to be replaced about every five years.

Pros:

Cons:

• Because these are an economic denture you can expect that the finished product is not the same as advanced sets so you may need more adjustment appointments and the fit may need to be modified. –
• Also, the choice in teeth may be limited.
• Because this form of bite registration uses only bite blocks, they can vary greatly from practitioner to practitioner.
• these dentures are often made to be replaced every five years and may use lower grade teeth that wear out faster.
• People who buy this denture have the same expectations as someone who buys an upgraded denture and while the materials and processes are the same the preparation work for them especially the bite registration has some drawbacks.
• Can take longer to balance and may need to balance in the mouth which is a less accurate form of occlusal balancing.
