What is Fusion Dentures?
Dandy's newest denture family of digitally designed dentures finished with traditional materials. Fusion is offered as Full Dentures where traditional acrylic is used resulting in lifelike gingiva and long-term durability, with the predictable fit of digital design. It also is offered as Flexible Partials pairing digital design with Valplast or Duraflex, first in the world!
How is Fusion different from printed or milled dentures?
| Fusion | 3D printed | Milled | |
| Fit and precision | High | High | High |
| Gingival aesthetics | Excellent | Poor | Excellent |
| Reline and repair | Yes | No | Limited |
Fully printed resin dentures are fast, but the gingiva looks uniform and artificial, they cannot be relined, and long-term durability suffers. Milled dentures look good but cost more and offer limited reline and repair options. Fusion is the only option in the portfolio that gives you lifelike gingiva, digital precision, and long-term serviceability together.
What materials are used?
- Base: Dentsply Sirona Lucitone® resin. More impact resistant, which means fewer remakes from material breakage, with lifelike aesthetics.
- Teeth: Detax Freeprint Crown resin. Matched translucency and opacity, strong dimensional stability, and no tendency to discolor.

Choosing a workflow
Four workflows cover nearly every patient situation.
| Patient situation | Workflow | Appointments |
| Needs a new denture, no existing denture to reference | Complete Denture (Wax Rim) | 3–4 |
| Has an existing denture that works as a reference | Copy Denture | 2 |
| Still has teeth that are being extracted | Immediate Denture | Delivered at extraction |
| Existing denture is loose, but the design is fine | Digital Reline | 1 scan visit |
Can Fusion Dentures be relined or repaired?
Yes! Fusion is traditional acrylic, so it is serviceable for the long haul. Relines run through the Digital Reline workflow as hard relines. Fully printed resin dentures cannot be relined. For more information on relines, please refer to Digital Relines For Dentures.
