Advances in dental technology have introduced new ways of designing and manufacturing dentures. CAD/CAM digital dentures use computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing as part of the planning and production process, helping create dentures that are tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
A consultation can help you understand your treatment options, assess your suitability and answer any questions you may have. We'll discuss your smile goals, explain the available treatments and recommend a personalised approach based on your individual needs.
CAD/CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing.
This digital approach may be used during the design and production of dentures, allowing information gathered during your appointments to be incorporated into the planning process.
The exact workflow depends on your individual treatment needs and the techniques used by the dental laboratory involved in producing your dentures.
Digital dentures may be appropriate for many patients who require full or partial dentures.
However, the most suitable option depends on factors such as:
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether CAD/CAM digital dentures are suitable for your individual circumstances.
We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your tooth replacement needs and determine whether CAD/CAM digital dentures are the most suitable option for your smile.
Impressions or digital records are taken to help design your dentures. This information is used during the digital planning and manufacturing process to create dentures tailored to your individual needs.
Your custom digital dentures are produced before being carefully fitted. We’ll assess the fit, comfort and bite, making any necessary adjustments to ensure they feel secure and natural.
We’ll provide guidance on caring for your new dentures and arrange review appointments where needed to monitor the fit and make any adjustments as your mouth adapts.
Depending on your individual treatment plan, CAD/CAM technology may offer several advantages.
These can include:
The benefits you experience will depend on your clinical needs and the type of denture recommended.

CAD/CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. It refers to digital technology that may be used in the planning and production of dental restorations, including dentures.
Both are designed to replace missing teeth. The difference lies in the way they are planned and manufactured, with digital dentures incorporating computer-aided technology as part of the production process.
Depending on your individual needs, digital techniques may be used when producing either full or partial dentures. Your dentist will explain which option is most appropriate.
Daily cleaning, careful handling and regular dental reviews are important for maintaining your dentures and supporting your long-term oral health.
