Digital Dentures · On-Site SprintRay Lab

Digital dentures — designed and made in our on-site lab

Full and partial dentures designed from 3D scans of your mouth, milled or 3D-printed in our on-site SprintRay lab. Better fit through digital precision, fewer chair-time appointments, and easy replacement years later because the design is stored.

What digital dentures are

Same denture, different workflow

Digital dentures replace the traditional impression-and-lab workflow with a digital one. We take a 3D intraoral scan of your mouth (or of existing dentures for replacements), design the denture in software, and mill or 3D-print the final result in our on-site SprintRay lab — Dr. Byron Larsen is a SprintRay key opinion leader, which means we run the technology at a level usually reserved for specialist and academic settings.

The result is a denture that typically fits better than a traditionally-fabricated one because every measurement is precise to digital tolerances. The process is also faster — most cases complete in 2 to 3 appointments instead of the 4 to 5 a traditional denture often requires. And because the digital design is stored, replacement dentures (years later when wear or jaw changes call for it) can be fabricated faster and at lower cost.

Digital dentures aren't always the right choice — for some patients, traditional fabrication still has advantages, particularly in cases of complex anatomical adaptation. We'll be honest about which workflow is right for you. Most cases work well digitally, but we won't push the digital approach if your case is better served by traditional methods. For patients who want more stability than a traditional denture provides, implant-retained dentures or implant-supported dentures are also options to consider.

What to expect

Your digital denture timeline

Most digital denture cases complete in 2 to 3 visits over 2 to 4 weeks.

1

3D scan and consultation

Quick intraoral 3D scan of your mouth (or of existing dentures for replacements). Discussion of shape, tooth color, and how the denture should fit your facial proportions.

2

Digital design

We design the denture in CAD software, balancing fit, function, and aesthetics. The design can be reviewed with you before fabrication if you'd like.

3

Try-in (when needed)

For complex cases, a printed try-in lets you see and feel the proposed denture before final fabrication. Adjustments to shape or position are easy at this stage.

4

Final fabrication

Milled or 3D-printed in our on-site lab. The digital workflow produces precise tolerances — the final denture typically requires minimal adjustment at delivery.

5

Delivery and minor adjustments

Final fitting, bite check, and any small adjustments to ensure comfort and function. Follow-up appointments scheduled for any further adjustments during the initial wear period.

Digital vs. traditional dentures

Both produce a functional denture. Here's where they differ.

Feature Digital Dentures Traditional Dentures
Number of appointments 2–3 4–5
Workflow 3D scan + CAD design Putty impressions + wax try-ins
Fit precision Digital tolerances Hand-crafted tolerances
Replacement turnaround Fast (design stored) Repeat full process
Adjustment ease

Digital dentures — frequently asked

Common questions about digital dentures.

For most patients, yes — and often better, because digital tolerances reduce the variation that hand-crafted impressions can introduce. For some complex cases, traditional fabrication still has advantages. We'll be honest about which workflow is right for your case.
Similar to traditional dentures — typically 5 to 7 years before replacement or significant adjustment is needed, depending on how your jaw and gums change shape over time. Regular relines extend lifespan. Replacement is faster than for traditional dentures because the digital design is stored.
Digital and traditional denture costs are roughly comparable — sometimes digital is slightly less because of the efficient workflow, sometimes slightly more depending on materials. Free consultations include written pricing. CDCP covers both digital and traditional dentures for eligible patients.
Adjustments work the same for digital and traditional dentures — most are minor and can be done same-day through our on-site lab. For replacement dentures, the digital workflow lets us fabricate from your stored design, which is faster and lower-cost than starting from scratch.
Yes — we can scan your existing dentures, redesign them in software (correcting any fit issues), and produce a digital denture from the updated design. Many patients use this as a path to a better-fitting replacement set without starting completely from scratch.
