Dentistry has undergone a radical transformation in recent years, introducing new technologies and techniques that make treatments more effortless and time-efficient.Â
People lose their teeth for various reasons, with gum disease and injury being the most common. Anyone with missing teeth knows the stress and difficulty it causes, yet many may be hesitant to explore tooth replacement options due to its long, tedious procedure.Â
Dentures are the top choice for tooth replacement and have been around for centuries. Fortunately, dental technology has come a long way since wooden dentures. With Digital dentures, replacing teeth is no longer a hassle, but an efficient and comfortable process.Â
If you’re missing several or all of your teeth and are looking for a high-quality, reliable solution, Digital dentures are the way to go.Â
What Are Digital Dentures and How They Work
As the name suggests, digital technologies are used to create dentures from start to finish.
During your first denture appointment, a mold of your mouth is usually taken. It can be an uncomfortable experience, especially for those who have a sensitive gag reflex. With the help of a 3-D scanner, a digital impression of your gums and teeth is made, forgoing the need to use the traditional unpleasant impression material.Â
The data collected from the scan is transferred to design software, which lab technicians can then use to fabricate your prosthetic.
Advantages of Digital Dentures
In comparison to traditional dentures, Digital dentures come with more advantages that’ll improve your quality of life and make the tooth replacement process much easier.Â
Getting a set of traditional dentures is a tedious task, as it requires several appointments in which impressions and fittings will take place. However, Digital dentures only need two appointments. During the first visit, your impression is scanned and a 3D model is made. In the second, and final appointment, you’ll receive your new dentures.Â
Replacing a broken or lost traditional denture can be quite expensive and time-consuming, as new impressions will need to be taken. With Digital dentures, the digital impression of your mouth would have been saved on a database, allowing for a quick, hassle-free replacement.
Many individuals have a sensitive gag reflex and may have some trouble when taking an impression the conventional way. If the reflex was triggered while the mold was being made, it may result in an ill-fitting denture. However, when the teeth have been electronically scanned, exact measurements are taken, allowing for a perfectly-fitting prosthetic that looks and feels great.Â
