Product Overview
Bringing the Denture Base, Tooth Setup, and Bite into One Digital Workflow
Digital denture cases bring edentulous arch records, denture base extension, tissue surface, tooth arrangement, vertical dimension, jaw relationship, midline, smile line, and try-in requirements into one coordinated design. Accurate upper and lower arch scans, bite records, esthetic references, shade information, and clear case instructions are essential before design begins.
SDS reviews the submitted records and develops each case through CAD design, manufacturing, finishing, and final quality control, with attention to denture base adaptation, border extension, tooth setup, occlusal plane, vertical dimension, bite relationship, try-in requirements, and the selected digital production workflow.
Technical Notes
Digital Denture Lab Notes
Key details dental labs may need before sending digital denture cases to SDS for CAD design, milled denture workflow review, CAD/CAM denture planning, try-in denture support, and production preparation.
Digital Denture and Milled Denture Design Considerations
Digital denture cases are used in CAD/CAM denture workflows where edentulous arch scan data, denture base design, tissue surface adaptation, border extension, tooth arrangement, occlusal rim information, vertical dimension, bite relationship, midline, smile line, and try-in references require careful review. For dental labs, milled denture and digital denture workflows often depend on accurate STL files, upper and lower arch scans, jaw relation records, bite rim information, esthetic references, shade details, base material requirements, tooth library or setup preferences, and clear lab-specific production instructions.
-
Edentulous arch scan data, tissue surface, landmark, and denture base design review before CAD design.
-
Denture base extension, border area, intaglio surface, relief, and retention area planning.
-
Tooth arrangement, tooth library selection, midline, smile line, esthetic reference, and setup review.
-
Vertical dimension, bite relationship, occlusal rim records, jaw relation, and occlusal plane review.
-
Try-in denture, prototype, milled denture, and CAD/CAM denture production file preparation.
-
3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based workflow support for digital denture and milled denture cases.
Technical Details for Digital Denture Cases
| Restoration Type | Digital denture or CAD/CAM denture restoration for removable full-arch denture workflows, including milled denture design, try-in denture planning, and production preparation support for dental labs. |
|---|---|
| Common Material | Lab-specified denture base resin, PMMA disc, milled denture base material, printed try-in material, or other CAD/CAM denture material. Final base material, tooth material, shade, tooth library, gingival characterization, milling or printing workflow, and production requirements should follow your lab’s material system and case instructions. |
| Best-Fit Applications | Digital denture cases, milled denture workflows, CAD/CAM complete dentures, digital full denture design, try-in denture cases, prototype denture workflows, and dental lab cases that require denture base design, tooth arrangement, vertical dimension review, bite relationship review, occlusal rim reference review, tissue surface design, and production-ready digital denture file preparation. |
| Files to Send | STL files, intraoral scan data, model scans, upper and lower edentulous arch scans, opposing arch scans when needed, bite records, occlusal rim records, jaw relation records, vertical dimension records, facial reference photos, smile photos, midline reference, existing denture reference when available, shade information, tooth setup preference, base material instructions, tooth library requirements, try-in notes, and lab-specific digital denture design instructions. |
| CAD Workflow | SDS supports 3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based digital workflows for digital denture CAD design, CAD/CAM denture design, milled denture workflow preparation, denture base design, tooth arrangement, occlusal plane review, vertical dimension review, bite relationship review, try-in denture planning, tissue surface design, border extension review, and production-ready file preparation. |
| Design Inputs | Edentulous arch scan data, upper and lower arch relationship, occlusal rim information, jaw relation record, vertical dimension, bite relationship, midline, smile line, tooth arrangement preference, tooth library requirement, denture base extension, border area, intaglio surface design, tissue surface adaptation, relief areas, esthetic reference, shade information, try-in purpose, milling or printing workflow requirement, and production instructions. |
| Production Notes | Production preparation can support lab-specified digital denture workflows, with review of denture base thickness, intaglio surface, border extension, tooth setup, occlusal plane, vertical dimension, bite relationship, try-in reference, milling requirements, printing requirements, material clearance, file output format, and final CAD/CAM denture workflow checks when required by the lab. |
Lab Partnership
Why Dental Labs Trust SDS
as a Behind-the-Scenes CAD Partner
SDS supports dental labs with CAD design and production preparation while protecting their workflow, customer relationships, and business confidentiality.
Clear Case Communication
We review case instructions, scan files, edentulous arch records, occlusal rim records, jaw relation records, vertical dimension details, tooth setup preferences, base material requirements, tooth library notes, and production requirements before digital denture cases move into CAD design or production preparation.
Digital Denture WorkflowConsistent CAD Output
SDS helps labs maintain consistent denture base design, border extension, tissue surface adaptation, tooth arrangement, occlusal plane review, vertical dimension control, bite relationship review, try-in denture planning, and milled denture workflow preparation across digital denture cases.
Digital Denture CAD SupportConfidential Lab Support
SDS works behind the scenes to help dental labs manage digital denture case volume, digital files, CAD/CAM denture workflows, milled denture preparation, and production preparation without exposing their local customer relationships.
