3D Printed Lucitone Dentures
Conventionally made dentures have historically been a pain-point for many dental practices. Lengthy turnaround times and adjustments go hand-in-hand with dentures made the old-fashioned way, but digitally printed dentures will change all of that. Whether you take impressions conventionally or digitally, Great Impressions can make you a premium, 3d printed high-impact denture. Below is the process to make that happen.
3D Printed Digital Dentures From Physical Impressions
Step 1 : Preliminary Impressions
Clinician: Takes a PVS of the patient, ensuring that as much ridge as possible is captured.
Lab: Fabricates occlusal rim(s).
Step 2 : Occlusal Rim Records
Clinician: Place occlusal rim(s) in patient’s mouth and make necessary markings to establish VDO, mid line, centric relations, & lip line at rest (horizontal markings).
Lab: Fabricates monoblock try-in based on input from occlusal rim(s).
Step 3 : Monoblock Try-In
Step 4 : Final Delivery
Clinician: Place try-in(s) in patient's mouth and ensure correct fit, teeth positioning, bite, etc... If adjustments are needed, grind on monoblock or add composite for us to copy, or you can notate and take pictures. Take a new bite if occlusal adjustments are needed.
Lab: If try-in is approved, the final denture will be fabricated.
If adjustments are needed at try-in, additional appointments may be necessary

Clinician: 1st- Place occlusal rim(s) in patient’s mouth and make necessary markings to establish VDO, midline, centric relations, & lip line at rest (horizontal markings).
