Benefits of 3D Printed Dental Prosthetics

3D printing is considered a market disruptor and is being utilised to save costs and be more efficient, while enjoying the benefits of accurate small- to medium-scale manufacturing. When it comes to how 3D printing is applied to dental prosthetics, there are several benefits and possibilities for both dental professionals and their patients. Such a process involves using a 3D scanner as opposed to making a mould of a patient’s mouth, teeth, and gums – reducing the stress on the patient and making it more approachable for patients who have broken teeth, exposed nerve endings, or anything similar that could cause pain and discomfort.

By utilising the 3D model created by the scanner, the dental professional can design a range of dental prosthetics for the patient. Apart from dentures, this process can also be used for fillings, crowns, and retainers. Since the 3D scanner delivers a more accurate representation of a patient’s mouth, teeth, and gums, the result is a better fit that reduces the need for constant fitting sessions afterwards, especially for dentures.
