FAQ
What is a replica denture?
This is an exact copy of the denture when you provide it to be scanned. Traditional methods involve unstable dental material that distort with time. The data file will not distort with time. When you are happy with your denture get it scanned. Similar to your glasses its a digital prescription.
What is a denture reline?
With time the gums and bone supporting the denture shrink, and the dentures become lose. Traditionally we would add a material to the denture base in the mouth, let it set, then send it away for a few days, to add fill in the spaces where the denture no longer fits. Its returned with the same teeth, and a slightly thicker base and hopefully an improved fit. With 3D scanning you retain your original denture, while a new one is make that fits better, looks fresher, and you retain the original as a spare. Effectively, 241.
Why is are 3D prints better?
The process used for over 50 years is technique sensitive and new denture teeth are added to the copy of the gum making the bite change. The 3D printing replicates the teeth and gum, and therefore the fit and bite are identical. The Lucitone material used for the basic and superior is the optimum dental acrylic available. The all white single print (monolythic) material is used to test for the user before completion in a final material. It can and has been used as a temporary fix, but more useful as a method to retain the positive aspects of the familiar "bite" with an improved fit that the user can adapt better to in old age.
Why can it be sent?
As a straight copy, current experience is no adjustments are required. The dentures are identical, they just look cleaner and fresher. it's an exact digital prescription, as used for your glasses.
Adjustments?
Its very rare to need an adjustment. In the unlikely event that there is a problem you may be able to get it checked in a dental practice if your denture was scanned there. Otherwise please get in touch, with your feedback we can improve this limited service and expand it to other copy dentures, as well as new partial dentures.
Where can I get a scan?
We have some dental practices on our DentalHealthService website . Alternatively, look up a dental practice in your area and see if they have a dental scanner. Ask them for a fee to scan your denture. If they don’t scan dentures, there are instructions on our dentalhealthservice website for the Dental Team.
How do I choose a colour?
Most dentists will have the standard VITA shade guide for the teeth, and some shades fro the gum. A2, and B2 are the most common. Shades 1 are the lightest. You can have lighter shades, but they look like dentures 😁
How do I pay? Use this page, similar to most other online purchases. There are instructions on uploading your denture data here as well.
Complaints procedure. Please follow the instructions. It is identical, and the only external factor is the moisture of your mouth. They will not fit better, they will fit the same, but just look better. For a better fit you need to have a denture reline, and that need support by the dentist who can also inspect the health of your mouth, and scan the denture after the impression material has been added. Then you have your orriginal denture returned, and the new denture will arrive in the post in around a week. So you do not have to go without your dentures for a few days as is the current situation with traditional denture reline techniques.
Just like people with teeth, you should inspect the condition inside your mouth monthly.
If there is an issue we can’t resolve, you can return the denture for a full refund as long as you inform us within a week of recieving the denture.
