Quick Emergency Replacement Dentures
Scan & Store keeps a digital record of your dentures for fast denture replacement
There's no need to live with missing teeth
The Purpose of this scan is NOT for future replacement. It is for emergency replacement of lost or damaged dentures. Scanning the denture(s) will not adjust the fit or function of the denture. It is a duplicate of the condition that the denture is in at the time of scan.
Should new work be done to the denture (i.e., relining) the scan will no longer be up to date and a new scan should be made. If the work us performed at our office, the denture will be rescanned at a discounted rate. Should new dentures be made in the office, a new scan will be made at no extra charge.
Here's How to Get Started:
- Make an appointment – We will find a time that suits your needs.
- During your appointment, we will go over the condition of your dentures with you and scan the dentures.
- If you need your dentures remade, call our office. We will make you new dentures and arrange a time for. you to come and pick them up.
FAQs about Denture Scan & Store
What is Scan & Store?
Scan and Store is a service we provide to help persons who wear full upper and/or full lower dentures have a some security should anything happen to them: i.e., loss, breakage, severe damage, etc.
How Does it Work?
We book an appointment time that is convenient for you to bring your denture(s) in. We use our digital technology to scan the denture(s) to make an exact replica of them in a digital file format. That file is then stored on our secure hard drive. The denture can be brought in by a loved one in cases where it is difficult for the wearer to come in.
How Long Does it Take?
The appointment for scanning your denture(s) is approximately 30 minutes from start to finish. We will assess the denture, making note of its current wear and conditions in its current state. It will then be cleaned and scanned. Once the scan is finished the denture(s) are returned to you.
How Long Does it Last?
The scans are considered up to date for three years from the date of scanning. After that time, they are deleted and a new scan must be made.
Why should I choose to digitally scan and store my dentures?
Scan and store is a modern digital denture process where your impressions and denture design or current dentures are saved electronically for future use. This provides added convenience, accuracy, and long-term peace of mind.
With scan and store, your digital records can be used to quickly reproduce or replace your dentures if they are lost, broken, or worn—often without needing to start the process from the beginning.
Digital scanning can also improve precision and comfort compared to traditional impressions, while allowing for more consistent results over time.
This approach is especially beneficial for patients who want a faster turnaround, a reliable backup of their denture design, and access to advanced digital denture technology.
What happens if I lose my dentures?
If you lose your dentures, it’s important to contact your denturist as soon as possible so a replacement can be arranged. Being without dentures can affect your ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper oral function.
If your dentures were created digitally or a copy was made using scan and store digital process, a replacement can often be made more quickly—sometimes without needing to repeat all the original steps.
If no digital record is available, new impressions and records will be required to fabricate a new set of dentures.
Your denturist will guide you through the fastest and most appropriate solution to restore your smile and function.
