Digital Relines For Dentures

Patients often have to go without their restoration during the traditional analog reline process.  The new digital process aims to eliminate the discomfort of going without dentures for days as experienced with the conventional denture reline process.  Going without a patient’s denture impacts their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.  Dandy designs an updated intaglio surface and remanufactures the prosthetic using new scan data, ensuring precise fit with limited or no adjustments.  The updated prosthetic is delivered to the dentist while the patient retains their original denture during production

***Unless there is a change in material (printed/milled), in that scenario, it will be full price.

***The practice will be charged full price as well if the design is altered, besides changing the intaglio surface.
