The Business Case: How 3D Printing Improves Efficiency and Profitability

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 | 5pmPST – 2 Hour Live Webinar

As digital dentistry continues to evolve, many dental practices are evaluating how in-office technologies can improve operational efficiency, reduce laboratory costs, and expand clinical services. 3D printing has emerged as a practical solution that allows clinicians to produce a variety of dental appliances and models directly within the practice environment.

This course examines the economic and operational considerations involved in integrating 3D printing into a dental practice. Participants will review common clinical applications that may be produced in-house, evaluate material and production costs, and explore how digital workflows impact turnaround time, productivity, and patient service. The course will also discuss staffing, training, workflow integration, and implementation considerations to help clinicians determine whether in-office 3D printing is an appropriate addition to their practice model.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate the potential financial impact of incorporating 3D printing into a dental practice.
• Identify clinical procedures and appliances that may be efficiently produced using in-office 3D printing technologies.
• Discuss practical considerations for integrating 3D printing into a practice workflow, including staffing, training, and operational requirements.
