How 3D Printing Works
Efficient and Precise Restorations for Your Smile
Dentist Eden Prairie
3D printing enables us to create precise, custom dental restorations quickly and efficiently. Using digital impressions and advanced scanning, we design and print crowns, bridges, and dentures with remarkable accuracy, offering faster results and a more comfortable experience for you. Here’s how it works:
Step 1
We begin by taking digital impressions of your teeth and using advanced scanning technology to create a detailed model.
Step 2
Using the digital model, we design your custom restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, with precise measurements.
Step 3
The design is then sent to a 3D printer, which fabricates your restoration directly in our office, ensuring a quick and accurate result.
