What are the advantages of Digital dentures compared to traditional dentures?

The 4 Advantages of Digital Dentures

There are many different variables between the traditional style of dentures and updated digital dentures. In comparison to traditional dentures, digital dentures come with the following 4 advantages:

Durability

Digital dentures are fabricated using long-lasting acrylic material that can withstand more pressure and daily wear-and-tear. This material is much stronger than what is used for traditional dentures, which is why digital dentures have a longer lifespan.

There is also no bonding used for digital dentures since they are created from a single acrylic unit.

Convenience

The digital denture technology used by denturists is much faster than the methods used to create traditional dentures. 3D x-ray image of a patients teeth

The process of fabricating digital dentures can be completed in as little as one to two weeks. This is a significantly faster turn-around time in comparison to traditional dentures that can take up to a month to be completed.

The entire digital denture process requires fewer visits to the denturist and far fewer adjustments. Due to the precision of the digital denture technology, the final product already has a precise fit. Patients can focus on more important matters instead of having to be concerned about the next time they have to get their dentures adjusted.

Precise Fit

Digital dentures are designed and fabricated using CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) technology.

Traditional dentures are made by taking a mold of the gums and teeth, which are then made into stone models and wax rims. Once the bite is recorded, new models are made and the dentures are shaped into the final product. Multiple adjustments are required to make sure the fit is comfortable.

Digital denture technology uses scanning and imaging techniques that allow denturists to create an appliance with a more precise fit. The design process accounts for dozens of micro-calculations that remove any estimations that might typically be done for traditional dentures.

Try-in appliances are also used to make sure the denture fits perfectly in a patient’s mouth. New changes are then merged with the original scan to create the final product, rather than putting the patient through multiple adjustments.

Quick & Easy Replacements

Since a digital file is created when digital dentures are fabricated, they can be easily replaced in a short amount of time.

Traditionally, if a patient loses or damages their dentures, they would have to go through the process of getting impressions re-done;  this would end up taking the same amount of time as it would for a new pair to be done.

With a digital file already in existence, it won’t take long for the denturist to recreate the digital dentures in half the time it would take for a traditional denture to be made.
