Digital Dentures in Chicago, IL

What Are Digital Dentures?

Digital dentures are made using 3D digital scanning and design technology, replacing traditional impressions and manual fabrication. The process begins with a high-resolution scan of your mouth, followed by digital modeling and fabrication of your dentures using milling machines or 3D printing.

The result is a denture that offers:

• Improved fit and comfort
• Faster turnaround time
• Consistent and reproducible results
• Digital records for easy remakes or replacements in the future

Unlike conventional dentures, which often require multiple fittings and weeks of wait time, digital dentures streamline the entire process while improving accuracy.

Benefits of Choosing Digital Dentures

Patients who choose digital dentures experience several advantages, including:

• Fewer appointments: Because of the precision of digital planning, fewer try-ins and adjustments are needed.
• Greater accuracy: 3D digital scans capture every detail of your gums and oral structures for a better fit.
• Faster delivery: Digital design shortens production time so you can enjoy your new smile sooner.
• Better comfort: The improved fit leads to more comfort when eating, speaking, and smiling.
• Easier replacements: Your digital denture design is stored securely, making it easier to create replacements if needed.
• More lifelike appearance: Digital tools help optimize esthetics, tooth shape, and alignment for a natural-looking result.
