3D Printing
At Cynthia A. Manders, DDS, Pediatric Dentistry, our goal is to provide each patient with a high-quality dental experience. By utilizing the most advanced technology, we are able to efficiently and effectively treat several different types of dental problems and concerns. One technology, in particular, 3D printing, allows our team to scan your mouth and smile to create digital models of your mouth which can be used for many customized treatment pieces, such as whitening trays and retainers to fit your mouth perfectly. Our 3D printer is used mainly to print digital models, whitening trays, and customized retainers and mouthpieces.
Why Use a 3D Printer in Dentistry?
Our team uses this advanced 3D printing technology to create oral appliances and custom restorations for our patients. The 3D printer is highly detailed, which allows Dr. Cynthia Manders to tailor your restoration to fit your mouth perfectly, maintaining high quality and effectiveness. With 3D printing, our team is able to create very accurate and detailed restorations/oral appliances that will improve the look and health of your mouth and smile.
At Cynthia A. Manders, DDS, Pediatric Dentistry, we are able to complete this process entirely in our office. This reduces the amount of time and cost of your treatment–allowing you to achieve a healthy and confident-looking smile in little to no time at all. Prior to the printing of this restoration, Dr. Cynthia Manders will first take a detailed digital impression image of your mouth and teeth, which will then be used to help design and create the unique oral appliance and/or restoration.
The most common types of oral appliances and restorations that are created by the 3D printer include the following:
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Night guards
- Indirect bonding trays
- Denture bases
- Dental and orthodontic models
- Etc.
