The Missing Piece to a Perfect Smile
When teeth are missing, it affects more than just your reflection; it impacts your confidence and comfort. Whether teeth were lost due to an accident, infection, or decay, the gap in your smile shouldn’t be a gap in your quality of life.
At Downtown Dental of Howell, we encourage patients to explore Digital Dentures. If dental implants aren’t the right fit for you due to bone loss or budget, digital dentures offer a high-tech, highly comfortable alternative. Digital Dentures bridge the gap between traditional prosthetics and modern innovation.
What Are Digital Dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures that use a series of manual molds and wax models, digital dentures are created using advanced CAD/CAM technology.
A digital denture can be fixed or removable, replacing teeth in the upper or lower jaw with an accuracy that manual methods simply can’t match. By using a 3D intraoral scanner, we capture a precise map of your mouth, eliminating the need for messy, uncomfortable impression materials.
How Do Digital Dentures Work?
The hallmark of digital dentures is their unrivaled fit. Because the prosthetic is designed on a computer and precision-milled, there is zero shrinkage, which is a common issue with heat-processed traditional dentures.
Caring for Your Digital Dentures
While the technology behind them is complex, caring for your digital dentures is simple. To keep your smile looking its best, we recommend:
Daily Cleaning: Brush your dentures with a soft-bristle brush and denture-specific cleaner. This prevents plaque buildup and maintains the integrity of the resin.
Give Your Gums a Rest: Remove your dentures at night and soak them in a professional cleaning solution or warm water. This keeps the material hydrated and your mouth healthy.
Handle with Care: Digital dentures are extremely durable, but they still prefer a soft landing. Always clean your dentures over a towel or a sink full of water.
