A digital record of the denture on file, making duplicated dentures much simpler if needed in the future.A decreased number of patient appointments.A digitally precise denture using a much denser and superb quality acrylic providing a much more exact fit.This process allows the impression taken by a denturist to be scanned into a 3-D file, and then the denture created by a precision printer using a high density factory acrylic. The increasing range of new aesthetic materials ensure no compromise with quality.The advancement of technology has brought some exciting changes to the world of dentistry.ĬAD/CAM technology and 3-D precision printing are being applied to the fabrication of dentures.
DIGITAL TECHNIQUES FOR CREATING PARTIAL DENTURES FULL
Materials are being improved all the time now for digital manufacture, recent advances with translucent Zirconias and super polymers such as PEEK and PEKK allow us to design full arch cases using our latest software to create monolithic restorations that are accurate in occlusion due to the virtual articulation and strong because of the monolithic style of design. This makes most of our work screw retainable and more importantly, retrievable!įor Titanium and Zirconia abutments and Bars or Beams we will design and then export this design to a range of external milling centres as the high level of accuracy when milling metal is critical and requires the best industrial machinery. For implants placed at a difficult angle we can use Dynamic Solutions Angled Screw Channel (ASC) ti-bases for correcting angles up to 30 degrees. These are available for most implant systems.

Often we mill the design as a PMMA Prototype for a verification try-in, this manufacturing technique works particularly well with implant cases as the value to the patient is high and being predictable is paramount, for many implant cases we use titanium inserts or ti-bases.

We manufacture using digital technology to generate a scan of the case once the model has been cast, then we design the restoration. These items need to returned to lab and are not a temporary material.Īt Stephen Green Dental Studio we can work with all types of implant systems available today. We do not charge for this service, as it saves on remakes due to planning and review in the mouth. This has been very successful in reducing unnecessary adjustments and has been very popular with our clients. We have also found, as a communication tool, digital design is very useful in discussions with clients, particularly if we want to review a specific case where we may suggest one type of design over another, we can show this in 3D format as a virtual case before we commit to manufacture, should there be any further concerns we can manufacture or mill in PMMA (a type of acrylic) and send the work for a 'Prototype' try-in, giving the dentist and patient the opportunity to review in situ this 'Prototype' of the final outcome. However we do still offer metal bonded crowns for the traditionalists! We design and manufacture all our dental crown and bridge work in-house and mill in high strength, translucent ceramics to full contour with a thin ceramic veneer for aesthetics, or, monolithic glass ceramics. With a digital impression system, you can be as far away from the lab in the UK as it is possible to get and still receive an accurate quality service through Stephen Green Dental Studio. This rapid action is very welcome for the dentist and patient, as the speed with which we can respond to this means not inconveniencing the patient further, as the scan can very quickly be retaken whilst they are still in the practice.

This was never possible with analogue, as it was at least a day before the models were ready to review. Patients are now actively seeking out dentists with Intra oral scanners we receive regular phone calls asking for directions to the nearest digital dentist as this exciting technology develops.ĭigital impressions also allow us the ability to show the dentist in real time when there are any issues with the impression, whether they are un-readable margins or we require more space for specific restorations. It is in both the patients’ interest, with its clean and quick process, as well as creating more opportunity for the dentist, with an increasing range of products available. The accuracy and simplicity that the dentist gains from digital impressions is certainly worth pursuing.
