Duchenne's D3 Digital Denture system is the next generation in denture technology. We use advanced 3D printing technology to create dentures with a better fit, bespoke tooth shape and colour, and strong, lightweight material.
We then save your smile in our DigiStore system, so we can quickly create a replica of your unique smile if you ever need a denture replacement.
Even the best technology is no use if dentures aren’t comfortable, and digital dentures show their superiority here. They are crafted from a much denser acrylic so they can be made thinner and therefore are less intrusive in the mouth. Patients often say that they find them lighter than their old traditional denture.
Digital dentures are usually faster to make than conventional dentures. They are an excellent option for those who need quality dentures sooner rather than later. If someone does have the misfortune to lose or break their dentures, Duchenne can now create a duplicate denture quickly and easily at a markedly lower cost than in the past.
Thanks to the new D3 unique bridging system, there is significantly less chance of dentures breaking or fracturing.
Digital dentures offer an unparalleled accuracy in denture production, helping us create dentures that match your teeth and gums exactly, with no shrinkage. The results are that the dentures feel more natural, comfortable and secure from the first time you wear them. This process allows us greater variation and customisation of your smile.
If your digital dentures are damaged or lost, you don't have to worry about being without your dentures for some weeks as with conventional dentures. We have your teeth on record and a replacement set can be made in only a few days. Learn more about DigiStore digital denture backups.
Fewer appointments can mean savings for you and digital storage means that you can take a spare denture with you or easily order a replacement by phone.
DigiCare dentures are produced on a computer using both 3D scanning technologies and impression techniques. Custom teeth can be chosen and these come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes that will be adapted to your unique smile. Trial dentures are then fabricated using 3D technology to test the functional bite and aesthetics of your new denture. Once you are happy, we then mill a brand new 3D denture in our state-of-the-art NZ laboratory.
Ever wanted to have an exact copy of the smile you love? D3 Replica Dentures are a cost-effective way to have a spare denture set, and to alleviate the concern of loss or damage. We simply copy the dentures you have, and produce a 3D milled replica set for you. It is also possible to accurately refit the dentures so they are even better fitting than the first set.
With Duchenne's exclusive DigiStore treatment, we take a 3D digital scan of your current bespoke smile, and save it into a digital format. If anything were to happen to your dentures, or you just want a backup set, we can reproduce your existing denture within 3 working days!
This service is available to anyone, regardless of whether the physical dentures were made by Duchenne or another denture practitioner.
"Hi I had new dentures put in about one month ago. I can not express how much it has changed my life. I haven't had a full mouth of teeth for about 4 years. It truly has made a big difference. I've had so many comments about how natural they look. I'm so over the moon. Thank you so much Sophia. You've changed my life."

"Hello Duchenne Team – Merivale
I would like to thank the team for great service and an excellent denture. It fitted perfectly, first time with no adjustments.
Now I can eat normally at last."

"Earlier this year I had to have ALL of my remaining teeth removed and to be fitted with full upper and lower dentures!! Horror of Horrors - I was dreading it!! However, I was referred to Duchenne Denture Specialists in Christchurch. They were amazing - the whole Team!!! Tristan couldn't have been more skilled, friendly or professional. He took time to get to know me and found out what my hopes and wishes were for my 'new look'. I felt totally confident before the process even began. My friends and family could hardly believe that my whole 'change' had gone so smoothly. I'm super thrilled with my new dentures - they look terrific and natural and are a super fit. I highly recommend Duchenne at Springfield Rd and, in particular, Tristan. Thanks sooo much Tristan for your excellent work and friendly approach - so much appreciated!!"

"I have been lucky to be put under the professional care of Emily at Duchenne in Christchurch to have dentures made. With the whole process including denture adjustments nothing was a problem to her with her calming and professional approach as I was tending to get a bit stressed at this new venture. So a big thanks to you and the reception staff and look forward to my next visit."
Peter, Christchurch
"After going through a dreadful experience with another denture manufacturer it wasn't easy for me to decide to go through the whole process again.
I made the decision to ring Duchenne Denture Specialists and make an appointment to see if they could help me, right from the first call to the receptionist it has been a wonderful and very easy process.
I went to the Ilam practice where I met Sophia, I found her to be very professional and so helpful and has made this experience so different from my last. She was so caring and empathetic to my anxieties and guided me through the whole process. She made sure that I was happy with each decision made and every appointment was a breeze, nothing has been a problem. I now have a beautiful, natural looking, well-fitting set of dentures that I am happy to finally smile about.
I highly recommend without question Duchenne Denture Specialists and especially Sophia.
Thank you"

"Duchenne Technicians and staff are AMAZING people!!
I had lost so much confidence because of missing teeth, I would try and hide them as much as I could, I'd talk with my hand close to my mouth, and wouldn't smile for people or even family photos. My new dentures fit perfectly and the process was fast and efficient. Thank you so much Tristan for giving me my smile back, you've been an amazing."
