What Is 3D Printing?
In the world of dentistry, 3D printing is a state-of-the-art, in-house manufacturing process that creates dental tools and supplies using liquid resin. The process typically starts with creating digital dental impressions, which guide the design process.
With the design made, we move through the following steps:
- Prep: Import the digital design into the software program, set the printing parameters, and then check the 3D printer to confirm it is ready to start.
- Print: Watch the initial passes to confirm that the first layers of the print properly adhere to the bed.
- Inspect: Wait for the printer to finish and then inspect all the newly created parts for any problems before moving on to the next stage of the treatment process.
At our office , we’re highly trained on how to best use 3D printer technology to help you achieve your dental health goals. Our dentist, Dr. Thompson, creates personalized care plans for all our patients and then decides when to put this device to work for them.
