Is DentalTwin Suitable for Complete Dentures?

Understand the limitations of using DentalTwin for fully edentulous workflows, and what is coming next.


DentalTwin is designed primarily for implant prosthetic planning and tooth setup in cases with remaining dentition.

At this time, DentalTwin is not suitable for fully edentulous jaws requiring complete dentures.

Why Not Complete Dentures?

  • DentalTwin's AI requires reference teeth to establish occlusion and anatomical positioning.
  • In a fully edentulous jaw, no reference points are available.
  • This makes automated reconstruction of occlusion and tooth setup unreliable.

Supported Alternatives

  • Partially edentulous jaws — DentalTwin works if at least 2 teeth per jaw remain before extraction.
  • Immediate implant cases — IO scans taken before extraction provide the needed landmarks.

When Complete Dentures Are Needed

For complete denture workflows, traditional methods or other dedicated software solutions are required, as DentalTwin currently focuses on:

  • Eggshell temporaries
  • Crown and bridge design
  • Implant planning wax ups

What Is Coming Next

DentalTwin is developing DentaCOMPLETE, a dedicated solution for reconstructing fully edentulous arches from CBCT data, for full contour prosthetics and All on X workflows, without patient appointments or bite templates.

DentaCOMPLETE is not yet available. Visit dentaltwin.com for the latest on its release.
