Welcome to the future. Traditional dentures are tolerable at best. This is because the final step of the fabrication process is a heat-curing process which causes distortions in the denture. This results in only approximately 30% of the inside of the denture coming into contact with the surface of the mouth resulting in inadequate retention. At Hedges Dental, we work with our lab to provide digital dentures. There are many advantages to this type of denture. First, the denture never undergoes a heat curing process, as it is milled out of a solid piece of material. Therefore, there is never any shrinkage of the material. This results in a denture in which about 90% of it contacts the mucosa in the mouth. This leads to dramatically improved retention. Digital Dentures are very aesthetic and up to 8 times stronger than traditional dentures. The shade of the teeth is still fully customizable. If you lose your denture or break it, no problem! We can print you a new one without taking any new impressions.
Would you like to convert your existing dentures to digital dentures to improve the amount of retention? No problem. We can do it in two appointments.
