Updated October 22, 2025 20:56

Summary:

Dandy is preparing to launch a breakthrough in digital denture manufacturing, validated through customer feedback and clinical adoption, with the release of the world’s first digitally designed acrylic denture. The Signature Acrylic Denture combines the lifelike esthetics of milled, the efficiency of printed, and the trusted feel of traditional acrylic - all without compromise. It delivers enhanced fit, long-term durability, and natural aesthetics through a digital workflow, while avoiding the brittleness of printed resins and the high cost or extended turnaround of milled options. Practices can now offer premium dentures at the same price as Signature Printed, elevating care without increasing cost or complexity.

Selected practices will have the ability to select 3 different denture offerings:
- Signature Acrylic Denture – New product
- Signature Printed Denture
- Aesthetic (Milled) Denture
Turnaround Time
- 7-9 business days (shipping included) for Signature Acrylic Denture
- 5 business days (shipping included) for Signature Printed Denture
- 9 business days (shipping included) for Aesthetic (milled) Denture
Pricing
- Same as Signature Printed Dentures
- Aesthetic Milled Denture remains priced higher

Eligibility

Workflow

Upper and Lower Intraoral Scans

On your Chairside Home screen, press “Start” and enter the patient's name.
1. If they are new, please fill out the gender and birthday
Select “Dentures” > ”Full Denture” > ”A New Denture”
You will then be asked if your patient has an existing denture, to which you will answer whatever is appropriate and press “Next”
Then you will indicate whether the appliance is to be implant supported, answer whatever is appropriate as well, and press “Next’”
Indicate which arch(es) we will be creating a full denture for, press “Add to Order” and “Start Scanning”
Confirm the tissue shade
Take upper and lower intraoral scans or Extraoral Denture Scan: 360° Scan Technique, capturing all necessary landmarks:
1. Depth of buccal and lingual vestibules
2. Frena
3. Hamular notches
4. Retromolar pads
5. Full palate, including some extension into the soft palate.
Note: If scanning is difficult (in particular, an edentulous lower arch), doctors may take a standard impression and scan the impression's intaglio surface and borders (no 360 needed). The patient must be fully edentulous to direct scan impressions. If the patient still has existing teeth, pour a stone model and scan the model.
