Trial Smile: 3D printed Trial Smile allows Dr. Martin and the patient a glimpse into how the final veneers will suit their unique smile.
Enhancing Your Dental Care
3D dentistry helps take the guesswork out of your treatment by giving Dr. Martin a highly detailed view of your teeth and bite. Instead of relying only on traditional impressions, your care is planned with greater accuracy from the very beginning.
Because we 3D print many restorations in house, your treatment is more streamlined, with better control over fit, comfort, and timing. For you, that means a smoother experience and a restoration that feels natural, looks right, and fits the way your bite actually works in real life.
What’s Possible with 3D Dentistry
3D dentistry allows us to design and create your dental restorations with greater precision so your treatment feels smoother and more personalized from start to finish.
Crowns
Designed from detailed digital scans for a precise fit and natural look, helping you restore damaged teeth with less time in the chair.
Bridges
Custom made for a seamless fit, 3D technology helps replace missing teeth with restorations that feel secure and function naturally.
Night Guards
Created without messy impressions, your custom night guard is designed for comfort and protection against grinding and clenching.
Retainers
Lightweight, nearly invisible retainers are digitally crafted to help maintain your smile comfortably and accurately.
Dentures
3D printed dentures offer a more precise fit and improved comfort, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
3D Dentistry: The Next Leap Forward In Patient Care
3D dentistry helps make your treatment more comfortable, more precise, and easier to understand from the very start. Instead of relying on traditional impressions, Dr. Martin uses detailed digital scans to design care specifically around your smile and bite.
For you, this means fewer uncomfortable impressions, a smoother overall experience, and restorations that fit better the first time. You’re also able to see and understand your treatment plan more clearly, which helps reduce uncertainty and gives you more confidence in your care.
Because everything is designed digitally and often created in office, your treatment is more efficient and customized so your final result feels natural, functions properly, and is built around your real life needs.

Both 3D-printed and traditional lab-fabricated dental materials are high-quality, but they differ in production methods, efficiency, and customization.
3D-Printed Materials: These are created layer by layer using advanced digital technology, allowing for highly precise, fast, and cost-effective production. 3D printing is commonly used for crowns, bridges, dentures, and surgical guides, offering excellent fit and customization.
Lab-Fabricated Materials: Traditional lab-made restorations are handcrafted or milled from materials like porcelain, zirconia, or metal. While they may take longer to produce, they offer a time-tested approach and may be preferred for certain cases requiring specific aesthetics or durability.
Both methods provide strong, high-quality restorations, and our team will recommend the best option based on your dental needs!

3D-printed dental materials (resins, ceramics, metals) are strong, durable, precise, biocompatible, and wear-resistant. Modern 3D printing produces crowns, bridges, dentures, and surgical guides comparable to traditional restorations. Our office uses advanced 3D printing for durable, comfortable restorations and can answer any questions.

Digital 3D dentistry using intraoral scanners and digital impressions is generally more comfortable than traditional putty impressions. Instead of goopy trays, digital scans are quick, noninvasive, and require minimal mouth movement. Scanning captures precise, high-resolution images in real time, often reducing appointment time and the need for retakes. For patients with strong gag reflexes, anxiety, or sensitive teeth, 3D scanning is usually a far more pleasant experience. It also streamlines treatment planning and can improve fit and outcomes for crowns, veneers, aligners, and restorations. Overall, 3D dentistry tends to be faster, cleaner, and more comfortable for most patients.
