What is Digital Dentistry?
Digital Dentistry uses 3D printing to produce dental prostheses appliances like dentures, night guards, and crowns for a low cost, often with a turnaround time of days instead of weeks.
At HELP, our 3D scanner and printer make it possible for us to take 3D images of a patient’s mouth, print the dentures, night guard, or crown, and customize it for the patient.
HELP also collaborates with other free clinics throughout the state to provide these low-cost options to as many patients as possible.
Through a generous grant from the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters Foundation, the HELP dental lab was able to purchase the SprintRay digital dentistry system. Using contactless scanning, our new 3D technology allows us to create dentures and night guards in-house.
It’s convenient and time-saving… but the truly amazing aspect about our 3D digital dentistry program is the cost savings. Traditional dentures can cost anywhere from $700 to over $4,000. They require multiple appointments and can take weeks, if not months, to complete. Traditional night guards also require multiple appointments to complete and cost around $500-$700.
At HELP, we are able to offer dentures for less than $400 a set and night guards for less than $125.
