What We Can Make with 3D Printing

Our in-office printer can create a wide range of custom dental solutions, each designed from your own digital scan:

Same-Day Crowns

A cracked, worn, or weakened tooth can often be repaired in a single visit. We scan your tooth, design a natural-looking crown to match, and print it right here — no temporary crown and no long wait for an outside lab.

Dentures

Because every 3D-printed denture is designed around your mouth’s exact shape, it can fit more comfortably and look more natural. Whether you need a full or partial denture, we plan it around your bite and your smile.

Valplast Flexible Partials

Valplast partials are flexible, metal-free partial dentures that replace one or more missing teeth. Their bendable base adapts comfortably to your gums, and without metal clasps they blend in naturally with your smile. We can design and print flexible partials in our office to match your mouth precisely.

Night Guards

If you grind or clench your teeth while you sleep, a custom night guard protects your enamel and can ease morning jaw soreness. Our 3D-printed guards are shaped precisely to your bite, so they stay put and feel comfortable all night.

Mouthguards

A custom sports mouthguard cushions your teeth, lips, and gums during contact sports and active play. Unlike a store-bought boil-and-bite guard, a 3D-printed mouthguard is made from a digital scan of your teeth for a snug, comfortable fit. Ask us about a custom mouthguard if you or your child plays sports.

Clear Aligners

Straightening your teeth without brackets and wires starts with a precise digital model. Clear aligners are a series of nearly invisible, removable trays that gently guide teeth into position — and 3D printing lets us make each stage to fit your smile exactly.

Retainers

After orthodontic treatment, retainers hold your teeth in their new positions so your smile stays straight. Our 3D-printed retainers are made to fit your teeth exactly, and they are slim and comfortable for nightly wear. Because your digital scan stays on file with us, we can replace a lost or worn retainer quickly.

Veneers

Thin, tooth-colored shells bonded to the front of your teeth can hide chips, stains, and small gaps. We design each veneer to match your face and smile, then print it for a precise, lifelike fit.

Surgical Guides

For procedures such as implant placement, a 3D-printed surgical guide helps your dentist follow the treatment plan exactly. This added precision supports smoother procedures and predictable results.

Dental Models

From your digital scan, we can print a physical model of your teeth and gums. Models help us plan your treatment carefully, show you what to expect, and check the fit of your restoration before it is placed.

How It Works: Our 3D Printing Workflow

Every 3D-printed restoration follows the same careful, fully digital process:

1. Digital Scan — A small intraoral scanner captures a detailed 3D image of your teeth and gums. No trays, no messy impression putty.
2. 3D Design — Your dentist designs your restoration or appliance on screen, shaping it to your bite, your smile, and your needs.
3. Print — The design goes to our in-office 3D printer, which builds your piece layer by layer from dental-grade materials.
4. Finish & Polish — We clean, cure, and polish the printed piece so it looks natural and feels smooth.
5. Fit — You try it in, we make any final adjustments, and you leave with your finished restoration — often the same day.

Benefits for Patients

With in-house 3D printing, your visits can be simpler and more comfortable:

• Fewer visits — Many treatments that once needed multiple appointments can be completed in less time.
• Same-day options — Where appropriate, your restoration can be designed and printed on the spot, without waiting on an outside lab.
• Precise, custom fit — Everything is built from your own digital scan, made for your mouth alone.
• Comfort — Digital impressions replace messy trays and putty, and custom-fit appliances feel better from the start.
