Direct Print Nightguards
Why Every Practice Should Offer Them (And Why Patients Love Them)
December 2, 2025
Patients and clinicians alike are eager for the next breakthrough in convenient, comfortable, and quality oral appliances. Patients expect fast, seamless experiences, and dental professionals need efficient, profitable workflows that keep up with demand. That’s why more practices are turning to direct print nightguards with LuxCreo.
With LuxCreo’s DNG Resin and chairside 3D printing workflow, dentists can now deliver a custom, durable, crystal-clear nightguard in just one hour — all while achieving over 90% gross margins per case.
Here’s why it’s time every practice added direct print nightguards to their lineup — and why patients will thank you for it.
Advantage of Chairside Delivery Over Outsourcing
If you’ve been sending your nightguard cases to a lab, it’s time to rethink the process. Chairside printing gives you total control over production, turnaround time, and quality. Instead of waiting weeks for a lab to fabricate a guard, you can design, print, and fit it in just one visit — saving both you and your patient valuable time. Any design or fit adjustments can be made instantly, without the frustration of remakes or back-and-forth shipping.
This not only reduces costs and improves accuracy but also elevates the patient's experience. Patients appreciate the ability to receive their nightguard on the same day, providing immediate relief and reinforcing your reputation for efficiency and innovation. By keeping production in-house, your practice gains control, flexibility, and the ability to deliver an experience outsourcing simply can’t match.
