Digital Dentures

United Dental Labs is excited to offer the latest advancement in digital dentures. Our new dentures are crafted on the Carbon 3D printer out of Lucitone® Digital Print™ 3D Denture Resin and IPN 3D™ Digital Denture Teeth, which are wear-resistant. Through the combination of these high-quality materials and equipment, United’s digital dentures offer exceptional esthetics, strength, and function. The new Lucitione® Digital Print™ 3D Denture Resin is body-activated material, which means that the resin doubles in strength when exposed to in-mouth body temperature.
