The Future of Dentistry: 3D Printing at Royal East Dental Dundas

Why should Royal East Dental Dundas be left behind when the world is eager to embrace the latest innovations in medicine and cutting-edge dentistry? We are talking about 3D printing in dentistry, or in other words, the future of dentistry. We can imagine how uncomfortable receiving a dental appliance from a separate dental lab can be when all your measurements have been recorded in our office. That is why we have in-house 3D printers that help us design and create dental crowns and bridges, dentures, and other appliances like mouthguards. Let us learn a bit more about 3D printing and how it has reshaped the way we deliver dental care or rebuild your smile.

How does 3D printing work at Royal East Dental?

Before the dental 3D printing service existed, the best way to prepare a replica of your mouth was to place a bulky tray filled with putty (to add to the bulk!) inside your mouth and wait for it to harden. Now, the impression thus obtained was used to create a model of your teeth and gums.

Here is why 3D printing is the game-changer. With the help of a simple and quick scan of your teeth and gums, a three-dimensional model of your mouth is created through digital dentistry Dundas. This means one need not go through a messy impression procedure. Using your digital model we can create any appliance like a night guard or surgical guide for you in our dental office. Owing to the model’s accuracy, these appliances will always be a great fit!

How do we use dental 3D printing for our patients?

We have always been fond of using advanced dental services so that our patients benefit from modern dental care and innovative dental solutions. Here are some ways in which we use 3D printing for our patients:

• Surgical guide preparation: When you come in for dental implants, we will use 3D printing to create a custom surgical guide specifically for your procedure. A surgical guide is like a precise roadmap that helps our specialists place your implants in exactly the right spots, whether you are getting individual implants or a full implant-supported denture. Having this personalized guide means we can put your new implants exactly where we planned them to go. This precision guarantees the best possible results for your new teeth and makes your procedure smoother and quicker for you!
• 3D model of your mouth: 3D printing helps us create a detailed, three-dimensional model of your mouth. It helps us spot any dental issues early on. It helps us develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. The best part is that we can actually show you exactly what we view while we examine your mouth. When you walk through your 3D images you understand the problems we find better.
• Nightguards: Do you clench or grind your teeth at night? This is bruxism and it can wear down your teeth over time. That’s where a nightguard comes in to help protect them. You might have tried those one-size-fits-all guards from the drugstore. They can be pretty bulky and uncomfortable. They may not exactly what you want when you are trying to get a good night’s sleep! The nightguards made through our 3D printing technology deliver a custom fit. They are just for your mouth! So, they fit your teeth perfectly and are so comfortable enough that you will want to wear them every night.

What are the benefits of using 3D printing technology over the conventional counterparts?

Here are four amazing ways our 3D printing technology helps make your dental care better and more comfortable:

#1 It’s incredibly precise!

Whether you need a night guard for teeth grinding or you are getting dental implants, 3D printing creates dental pieces that fit you perfectly. This means less time spent adjusting things in your mouth and more time enjoying your results!

#2 We can take care of everything right here in our office.

Instead of waiting weeks for a dental lab to make your appliance, we can scan your mouth and create custom pieces like night guards or surgical guides while you are here. Often, we can complete your entire treatment in just one visit.

#3 We have said goodbye to those goopy impression materials that make you gag.

With 3D printing, we take quick, comfortable digital scans of your mouth instead. No more messy putty or uncomfortable waiting with material in your mouth!

#4 We can plan your treatment better than ever before.

Finally, our 3D technology helps us create detailed models of your mouth. It is easier to spot potential issues early and plan your treatment down to the smallest detail. This means more predictable results and better outcomes for your smile.
