3D Printer

At our practice, we believe that the best dental care happens at the intersection of clinical expertise and cutting-edge technology. That is why we have integrated the Formlabs 3D Printing System into our in-house laboratory.

By utilizing Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)™ technology, we can turn high-resolution digital scans of your mouth into physical dental appliances with incredible accuracy. For you, this means faster turnaround times, a more comfortable fit, and highly predictable results. Because we print on-site, we can often reduce wait times from weeks to just a few days, or even hours.

How We Use 3D Printing to Enhance Your Care

We utilize our Formlabs ecosystem to produce a variety of custom dental solutions right here in our office:

  • Surgical Guides for Implants: We print custom-fit guides that act as a precise "roadmap" for dental implant placement. This ensures your implants are positioned with sub-millimeter accuracy, leading to safer surgeries and quicker healing.
  • Custom Dentures: Gone are the days of bulky, ill-fitting dentures. Our 3D-printed dentures offer a superior fit and natural aesthetics, tailored specifically to the unique contours of your smile.
  • Temporary Crowns & Bridges: If you are waiting for a permanent restoration, we can print high-quality temporaries that look and feel like natural teeth, ensuring you never have to leave our office with a gap in your smile.
  • Highly Accurate Diagnostic Models: Instead of messy traditional impressions, we print physical models of your teeth from digital scans. This allows us to plan complex treatments and show you a "preview" of your results before we even begin.
