Our digital denture workflow can include intraoral scans, facial records and computer-aided design, with 3D printing or milling used for fabrication. Your dentist selects the records and steps needed for your case. The aim is to plan dentures around your oral anatomy, bite and preferences.
During planning and any recommended try-in, we assess tooth position, appearance, speech and bite. After delivery, follow-up adjustments may be needed as you adapt to the dentures or as your mouth changes. Tell us about discomfort or difficulty eating so we can assess the fit.
Digital describes how a denture is planned and made; it does not mean the denture is fixed in place. Compare removable implant-supported overdentures with fixed full-arch implant restorations to understand the differences in support, removal and maintenance. An examination is needed to recommend an option.

What to Expect from Digital Dentures

Your denture plan considers fit, daily use, maintenance and treatment timing. Here are the main points to discuss at your consultation:

Planning Your Fit and Appearance

  • Records of your mouth and bite guide the design.
  • Discuss tooth shape, shade and appearance.
  • Try-in steps are selected for your treatment plan.
  • Fit is assessed clinically and adjusted when needed.

Your Visits and Adjustments

  • Start with an examination and a discussion of your goals.
  • Bring existing dentures and describe any fit concerns.
  • Your dentist explains the records needed for your case.
  • Discuss your bite, speech and appearance during planning.
  • Follow-up adjustments may be needed after delivery.
  • Ask about cleaning and wearing instructions for your denture.

Digital Records and Future Care

  • Digital design records may help with a future replacement.
  • Your mouth and denture fit should be reassessed first.
  • A replacement may need new records or design changes.
  • Ask what records are retained and how replacement costs are assessed.

Treatment Timing

  • The number of visits depends on your individual treatment plan.
  • Scans, impressions or try-ins may require separate appointments.
  • Extractions and healing can change the timetable.
  • Allow for any recommended fitting or adjustment visits.
  • Your dentist explains the expected schedule before treatment begins.

Common Questions About Digital Dentures

  • Are digital dentures removable? Conventional complete dentures are removable. Implant-supported choices can be removable or fixed; your dentist will explain the differences.
  • Can dentures be fitted after extractions? An immediate denture may be fitted at the extraction visit when planned in advance. Healing can change the fit, so relining or replacement may be needed.
  • How do I care for them? Follow the cleaning and wearing instructions for your denture and attend recommended reviews. Contact us if the denture causes soreness, slips or becomes damaged.
  • What will treatment cost? An examination helps determine the denture type, any preparatory care and the number of stages. Ask for a written estimate covering the proposed treatment and follow-up.
