Digital Impressions

Where a traditional denture workflow involves taking a physical impression which is then poured up in plaster to make a model of a patient's mouth, we are increasingly able to do away with this messy and uncomfortable step by taking intra oral 3D scans. ​

​

This can be a huge advantage, not just for patient comfort, but also for recording impressions without the risk of accidentally extracting loose teeth, and has been particularly useful for partial and immediate dentures. 

​

While we still see many cases that require a traditional impression, we are working to move toward a digital workflow wherever possible.
