Faster, More Precise Dentistry with 3D Printing

At Morgan Heights Dental Centre, faster and more precise dentistry starts in our own lab. Here are the questions patients ask most about our in-house 3D printing workflow.

What can you actually print in-house?

Quite a lot of your care, made right here in South Surrey:

• Digital dental models straight from your scan
• Custom-fit night guards for clenching and grinding
• Patient-specific surgical guides for implants
• Temporary teeth, flippers, and immediate dentures

How does the workflow work?

It's a simple three-step process: scan, design, print. A quick digital scan replaces goopy impressions, computer software tailors the appliance to your bite, and we build the finished part layer by layer in our lab.

Is this the same as CEREC?

No. Same-day CEREC crowns are milled from a solid ceramic block, while 3D printing builds an object layer by layer from liquid resin. Both are modern tools we use to shorten visits and improve fit.

Why print a guide for a dental implant?

A printed surgical guide transfers the 3D-planned implant position directly into your mouth during surgery. It's biocompatible, sterilizable, and helps place your dental implant with real precision.

Does every treatment need 3D printing?

No — we use it only when it offers a real advantage: faster turnaround, a more precise fit, or fewer visits. Ready to experience modern dentistry, powered by modern technology? Contact our South Surrey office to book your appointment.
