3D printing has taken the world by storm — and dentistry is no exception. This advanced technology opens the door to new opportunities and the best possible experience for patients, which is why Dr. Evan Santiago uses this valuable service at East Bay Periodontics and Implant Dentistry.

Benefits of 3D Printing at Your Dental Office

There is no one-size-fits-all resolution for many dental procedures. By incorporating 3D printing at our office, Dr. Santiago can develop custom solutions for dental implant placement, night guards, and teeth whitening trays. However, personalization is not the only advantage a dentist who uses 3D printer technology provides.

3D printing can also offer:

More comfortable products
Increased convenience, with no messy impressions needed
Reduced wait time for appliances, with no lab involved
Longer-lasting products
Superior aesthetics

Because your dental appliance is custom-made, it will also feature the most natural appearance possible.

How We Use 3D Printers

As a periodontist and implant dentist in Oakland, Dr. Santiago uses his 3D printer to help patients in many key ways.

Night Guards

Dr. Santiago recommends a night guard for patients to protect their teeth from grinding and clenching while they sleep. 3D-printed night guards are just as effective as lab-made appliances. You’ll have a high-quality, long-lasting device that we can easily replace should you need a new one.

Teeth Whitening Trays

Take-home teeth whitening in Oakland is a popular treatment. Allowing Dr. Santiago to make you 3D-printed teeth whitening trays saves you time and money. You’ll also receive more precise custom trays that flawlessly fit over your teeth.

Surgical Guides

Dr. Santiago uses surgical guides to complete surgery with even more accuracy. These guides allow him to give you the best experience in Oakland and the East Bay. Using a 3D printer allows him to better predict your implant's outcome.

Temporary Implant Crowns

Creating a temporary crown is often time-consuming. However, using 3D printing technology will ensure a more durable crown that fits comfortably and looks aesthetically pleasing.
