Transitioning from Analog to Digital Dentures

Modern patients call for modern dental solutions, like an integrated digital workflow, to help your lab work smarter and faster. Learn how to transition from analog to digital dentures during this seminar with Germen Versteeg, denturist and dental technician, and founder of DTL Mediaan, a full-service dental clinic and laboratory.

Today’s patients expect faster service, greater precision, and more personalized results when it comes to dental restorations. Meeting these expectations requires modern solutions—and embracing a fully integrated digital workflow is quickly becoming essential for dental laboratories and clinicians alike. In this comprehensive seminar, Germen Versteeg, renowned denturist, dental technician, and founder of DTL Mediaan (a full-service dental clinic and laboratory in the Netherlands), will guide participants through the exciting transition from analog to digital denture fabrication.

Drawing from over two decades of hands-on experience, Germen will demonstrate how digital technologies—such as intraoral scanning, digital design software, and 3D printing—can streamline production, enhance the accuracy of prostheses, and significantly reduce turnaround times. Through real-world case studies, workflow demonstrations, and practical tips, attendees will gain the insights and confidence needed to modernize their denture processes without sacrificing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that traditional methods demand.

This seminar is ideal for dental technicians, denturists, and clinicians who are ready to take the first steps toward integrating digital solutions into their practice or laboratory, whether partially or fully, to meet the demands of today’s evolving dental marketplace.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the foundational differences between analog and digital denture workflows — including an overview of the technologies, tools, and techniques required to successfully implement a digital approach.
2. Learn how to seamlessly transition from traditional to digital denture fabrication — through practical guidance on adapting existing processes, selecting the right equipment, and training staff for a successful digital transformation.
3. Gain the skills to maximize efficiency and improve patient outcomes — by leveraging digital workflows to create more predictable, accurate, and esthetically pleasing denture solutions while reducing production times and operational costs.
