3D Printing

Our dental team strives to craft your restorations and appliances with the most comfortable and precise fit possible. We use 3D printers in Hillsborough, North Carolina, to help enhance your treatment process and gift you with the beautiful smile that you deserve. Contact Providence Smiles today at 919-732-8179 to learn more about 3D printers and set up an appointment with our dentist, dr. Kwame Gyampo.

Our dentist and team are proud to make use of the advancements in dental technology with our state-of-the-art 3D printer. We use 3D printing to aid in creating custom oral restorations and appliances for your care. This means your visits with us can be quicker and more efficient.

If you visit our dentist for a dental restoration or application, it is very likely you will be enjoying the benefits of 3D printing technology. After taking a scan of your teeth with our iTero digital scanner, we can design and create your new appliance or restoration right in our office, instead of sending the scan to an outside lab, which would cost you more time and money. With our 3D printing, you can enjoy the benefits of dental technology along with us.

Restorations and Appliances
3D Printing allows our dentist and team to create multiple dental restorations and appliances to aid in your oral health and appearance. Custom creating these restorations and appliances helps us better care for your smile while reducing your wait time for better oral health.

Some of the more common restorations and appliances that we create include:

• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Dental and orthodontic models
• Denture bases
• Night guards
• Denture bases
• Castable crowns, bridges and partial denture frameworks

Our dental team is here to help you with any of your oral health needs, and 3D printing helps us meet those needs as they arise. Whenever you need a new dental restoration or appliance, we will be here to help you get the customized care you need.

Reduced Treatment Time
When we create your custom restorations and appliances in our office, we save you time in getting the care you need. With our advanced technology, we can take digital scans of your teeth and mouth and then design your new appliance or restoration and print it out using our in-office 3D printer.

Instead of sending your custom design to an outside lab, meaning you might need to wait days or weeks to get your restoration or appliance, our 3D printer can create your design the same day as your visit. Occasionally, you may need to wait a day to get your restoration or appliance, but your wait time will be considerably shorter than that of a restoration or appliance from an outside lab.

Our dentist and team are always willing to help you have a better experience at Providence Smiles. If you would like to learn more about how 3D printing can help your dental experience, we invite you to reach out to us today.
