Your shortcut to stress-free dentures

This guide shows you how to deliver high-quality, natural-looking dentures in fewer visits with a fully digital workflow. In the first appointment, scan the existing appliance, dentition, or edentulous arch, capture the opposing arch and bite, and submit the case through our Chairside software. In as little as five business days, you’ll receive the finished appliance (or wax rim for new denture cases). At the second appointment, simply seat, adjust, and finalize the case—or establish bite with the wax rim before submitting final scans. New denture cases include one final appointment to seat the finished denture. With our 2-Appointment Denture workflow, you can:

  • Cut chairtime in half while maintaining precision
  • Deliver beautiful, consistent results through a guided digital workflow
  • Get a FREE $30K intraoral scanner when you start
