Intraoral Scanning for Dentures, Nightguards, Mouthguards and other Dental Appliances

Intraoral scan of a live patient with our new Medit Scanner. We have 2 of these on site and 2 chairs operating every weekday.

At Designer Dentures, 55 East Tamaki Road in Papatoetoe we offer many different dental appliances. These are mostly of a removable variety so that our patient’s avoid uneccesary costs and painful surgeries. We do have a range of fixed permanently into the mouth options too, but we are very excited to announce that we have the very latest in the world in digital intraoral scanners. This is an exceptionally good way for us to measure your mouth and keep an accurate dental record of you for any future work we do.

“With the intraoral scanner it uses a UV light and camera to take thousands of images to create a 3D rendering into our computers. This way we have the shape of your mouth for making what you need. There is no radiation emitted into your mouth during this process, just light”. Khushwant Singh 2025.

We do a large variety of different dentures from metal partial dentures to full arch dentures which we can measure using the intraoral scanner. From there we can take the shape recorded of you and use it to design the smile which will best suit your looks. We even do full face scans on some instances so that we can have a complete copy of your face to look at while we work on your smile. Here below you can see a picture of a full mouth scan in full color and detail.

We even use our intra oral scanner to take measurements for mouthguards and night guards or even clear retainers. This way if you ever loose your mouthguard we have your copy of your mouth saved on the computer and even backed up on the very secure cloud software we use. If you ever have a denture you like that we did or a mouthguard which you loved and even one of our staff is away we have the design saved and can look at making an identical replica of what you had with us last time.

With the brilliant new technology from Medit and the skill, and expertise of our team at Designer Dentures we can help with mostly any dental issue you have. Especially if it relates to tooth loss. We even work with a brilliant amount of local dental surgeries if you need some treatment on your natural teeth before we get to work on improving your smile.

Come in and see us about how we can most accurately measure you to make your next night guard, or mouthguard, or denture to get you a better fitting and functioning set of teeth that match your individual style. Not only is that a fantastic benefit to us both but the measurement process is actually far more comfortable than regular dental impressions with a tray and thick blob of impression paste. The intraoral scanner is also far less messy and won’t spoil the makeup as much. To find out more we do a free consultation and with the intraoral scanner your information is saved for the future.
