DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

"I’ve spent years helping practices implement digital workflows ranging from CBCT and intraoral scanning to milling and 3D printing. This series is designed to answer the same questions and concerns I hear from doctors every day about same-day dentistry and in-office manufacturing."

As digital dentistry continues to evolve, 3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative technologies in the modern dental practice. In a recent educational webinar hosted by Trusted Dental Technologies, Dr. David Christensen shared how he incorporates 3D printing into his daily workflow — from simple models and occlusal guards to same-day provisional restorations and full-arch rehabilitation cases.

Webinar Recap with Dr. Clint D. Stevens

Digital dentistry is no longer optional—it’s inevitable.

Here at Voxel, we've watched, evaluated, and tested for ourselves the very best in dental tech. Sometimes, major innovations come with lofty promises to doctors - and it's important doctors are aware of the potential upsides but aware of any changes in workflows.

That's why we are so meticulous in our evaluations, so we know when we decide to partner with a manufacturer and sell their products - we can be confident our customers are getting the very best.

Enter LuxCreo, an innovative 3D printing manufacturer that is making waves in this "direct print" world - empowering dentists to create custom clear aligners in-house at an affordable cost. In fact, they lay the claim to be the first FDA cleared 510 (K) class II direct print aligner workflow.

Digital dentistry is no longer about early adoption—it’s about optimization, efficiency, and scalability. As we head into 2026, dental practices are shifting from “Should we go digital?” to “How do we get more from the technology we already own?”

A Testimonial from Dr. David Carter, Carter Orthodontics & Forever Aligned Club

In the ever-evolving world of orthodontics, few technologies have made as dramatic an impact on clinical practice and lab efficiency as direct-print aligners. For Dr. David Carter, founder of Carter Orthodontics in Augusta, SC and visionary behind the Forever Aligned Club, LuxCreo’s direct-printing system—implemented with the help of Voxel Dental—has become a complete game changer. Here's how.

3D printing in dentistry is now central to many workflows — from models, surgical guides, and dentures, to temporary and permanent crowns, aligners, and more. But it wasn’t always this way. The evolution of 3D printing in dentistry reflects advances in materials, software, regulatory approvals, speed, and accessibility.

This video shows the full digital workflow with replacing old amalgams to a 3D-printed onlay. We are using the iTero Lumina™ and the SprintRay Midas for this case.
