The Future is Digital
Digital Dentures
Fewer visits. Better fit. Stored for life.
The newest concept in the denture process is digital dentures. They differ from conventional dentures in how they are processed, the material used, and most notably, turnaround time. Take a free 60-second assessment at any MyBite clinic to see whether digital dentures are right for you.

About Digital Dentures
What are Digital Dentures?
Digital dentures and conventional dentures from MyBite produce the same result: high-quality, comfortable, and well-fitting dentures. However, because the digital denture process is automated and streamlined, they take less time than the conventional denture process.
A digital impression of your mouth is taken using CAD/CAM technology. Using these digital images, 3-D renderings of a denture are created based on 26 specific anatomical landmarks captured in the impression. Then using CAE (computer-aided engineering), the dentures are fabricated to these precise standards.
Digital dentures bypass many manual processes. These include taking plaster or gel teeth impressions, designing and shaping the prosthesis by hand, and undertaking a series of manual adjustments and fittings.
Benefits of Digital Dentures
Book Your Free Consultation01
Fewer Appointments
The conventional denture process typically requires 5 or more dental appointments before delivery of a patient's final dentures. This can be extremely time-consuming for our busy patients. With digital dentures, only 2 visits are required before final denture delivery, significantly cutting down on multiple appointment times.
02
Digital Precision
Digital dentures offer computerized precision for an exceptional fit resulting in extremely durable, secure dentures. Twenty-six specific anatomical landmarks are captured in your digital impression and fed into the CAD design.
03
Quality & Strength
Digital dentures are crafted from a solid block of cured resin. This makes them stronger and less likely to distort or shrink over time. They have stronger suction, a more comfortable fit, and greater aesthetic accuracy for a more natural-looking smile.
04
Digital Records
All patient information needed to design an accurate, comfortable, and well-fitting denture is captured in one visit and stored in a digital format. This permanent digital record is maintained so that if your denture is lost or broken, a replacement can easily be made.
05
Digital Dentures Are For Everyone
Like conventional dentures, the ideal candidate for digital dentures is any adult who has experienced significant tooth loss and still has a sufficient amount of healthy gum tissue and jawbone.

Financing
Affordable monthly payment options.
We offer many payment plans and options that make your treatment quite affordable at low monthly rates.
If your credit score is average or even slightly below, we can help you apply online with a third-party financing company, and you'll receive an instant decision in most cases. This pre-qualifying approach is a 'soft' credit check.
If you don't qualify, some patients tap a friend, family member, or spouse to co-sign with them for financing. Other alternative options may also be available to you.
