3D Printed Veneers: The Future of Your Overland Park Smile

When it comes to enhancing your smile, advances in dental technology have made achieving a natural, confident look easier and more comfortable than ever before. Among the most exciting breakthroughs is the rise of 3D printed veneers, an innovative solution changing the way dentists approach cosmetic transformations.

At The Art of Dentistry, Dr. Kory Kirkegaard and his compassionate team are leveraging this cutting-edge technique to offer patients beautifully customized smiles with precision, efficiency, and minimally invasive care.

What Are 3D Printed Veneers?

3D printed veneers are ultra-thin layers of dental material, custom-designed and created using advanced 3D printing technology. Unlike traditional veneers, which often require multiple appointments and extensive manual lab work, these high-tech veneers offer a streamlined approach with exceptional accuracy and fit. Here’s how 3D printed veneers stand out:

• Precision Fit: Computer-aided design ensures a fit tailored to the exact contours of your teeth, resulting in a more natural appearance and comfortable feel.
• Predictability: With state of the art design workflows allow patients to wear a try in version of their 3D printed veneers in their mouths before moving onto the final veneers.  This process allows patients to physically see their new veneers in place before anything is permanent!  It allows patients full participation in the design process before things are finalized!
• Time-Saving Process: Patients can get their 3D printed veneers almost immediately! What used to take months now takes 24 hrs - with digital impressions and rapid fabrication, many patients enjoy a shorter treatment period and fewer dental visits, all without sacrificing quality. 
• NO Shots and NO Tooth Removal: Because of their ideal fit and advanced materials 3D printed veneers do not require tooth removal, which means no shots.

The Advantages of Choosing 3D Printed Veneers

In addition to their advanced fabrication process, 3D printed veneers offer several practical and aesthetic benefits, making them an appealing option for a wide range of patients looking to enhance their smiles. A few benefits include:

• Highly Personalized Results: With digital scanning and design, your smile makeover is based on your unique facial features, not a one-size-fits-all mold.
• No Tooth Removal, No Shots: Because the 3D printed veneer material can be designed so thin, it is able to fit onto the teeth beautifully without the need of shots or tooth removal.
• Cost Savings: 3D printed veneers are ½ the cost of traditional ceramic veneers!
• Durable and Long-Lasting Materials: Made from 60-70% ceramic content, these veneers are built to withstand daily wear while maintaining their appearance.
• Improved Patient Comfort: The precision and speed of the process help reduce chair time and discomfort, ideal for patients seeking efficient, high-quality care.
