Immediate dentures can easily be ordered with Dandy in two easy appointments. This workflow works for patients with existing dentition or post extraction.
- Step 1: Extraorally scan the existing appliances and intraorally scan the bite.
- Step 2: Seat the new denture.
The following workflow is applicable for patients using an existing denture to establish their VDO and / or bite and should be used for fabricating a new denture using a current full or partial denture as a reference or relining and/or making an exact copy of a current denture.
- Make any necessary adjustments to the existing denture to ensure fit and correct VDO.
- Remove denture and apply light body wash (avoid excess material).
- Place denture in the patient’s mouth and have the patient move lips and move tongue side to side, and gently push down on the denture. Let the denture sit while the impression material sets.
- Remove and trim off any excess impression material, especially on the occlusal surface.
- If teeth are significantly worn down, use blue mousse to fill the bite on the occlusal surface to verify that the VDO is correct.
The following workflow is applicable for patients with no existing dentition or appliance to establish their VDO and / or bite,
- Take upper and lower intraoral scans
- After receiving the wax bite rim from Dandy, guide the wax bite rim into the patient’s mouth to get an accurate bite
impression. - Apply light body wash to the wax bite rim for border molding and accuracy.
- Clearly mark the wax bite rim with the patient’s smile lines, canine lines, and midlines.
- Add blue mousse to register bite.
- Take photos of the patient

Digital Dentures Lab FAQ
When you partner with Dandy as your digital dental lab, we provide you with a free TRIOS scanner to take digital impressions and bite registrations for any type of dentures case. Dandy chose the TRIOS scanner because of its ability to accurately scan soft tissue and edentulous patients.
After the digital design process, Dandy’s Signature Dentures are printed on 3D carbon printers using Dentsply Sirona’s Lucitone Digital Print™ 3D Denture Base resin and Lucitone Digital IPN™ 3D Premium Tooth resin.

The wax rim phase is the same as conventional where you mark landmarks, make adjustments, and add a wash impression. The only difference is that rather than sending it back physically, you take a digital impression for dentures and submit it to us through our software. In addition, our wax bite rims do not come with teeth set in.
