Almeida & Bell Dental has announced the introduction of in-office 3D printed dental veneers, a new approach to cosmetic dentistry that significantly reduces both the cost and treatment time associated with traditional veneers. The practice, with locations in Lone Tree and Denver, Colorado, is now designing and printing veneers directly in its offices, eliminating the delays and expenses of sending cases to an outside dental laboratory.
According to the practice, patients can expect veneers at approximately half the cost of traditional laboratory-fabricated veneers. The process also dramatically shortens turnaround times because the veneers are created in-house. Additionally, the 3D printed veneers require less tooth preparation, preserving more of the patient's natural enamel—a key advantage for those seeking a conservative approach to smile enhancement.
The new service is led by Dr. Adam Almeida, DDS, and Dr. Paul Bell, DDS, both of whom have completed specialized continuing education courses and training with The MOD Institute. Their training focused on the workflow for designing and 3D printing aesthetic veneers, with an emphasis on creating ultra-thin, natural-looking restorations that do not require heavy tooth reduction. "Our goal always has been to make exceptional dentistry more accessible," said Dr. Bell. "By bringing advanced 3D printing technology into our office, we're able to offer high-quality veneers at a much lower cost while preserving more of the patient's natural tooth structure. While porcelain veneers continue to have many benefits, we're excited to have this new option for patients who would like to boost their smiles, and we remain dedicated to providing personalized care in helping patients find the best cosmetic option for them."
Patients choosing the 3D printed veneers can expect several benefits: approximately half the cost of traditional lab-fabricated veneers, faster treatment with reduced turnaround times, more conservative treatment requiring less tooth preparation, customized veneers designed for each patient's smile, and advanced digital precision for exceptional fit and aesthetics. The practice believes this technology represents the future of cosmetic dentistry by combining affordability, efficiency, and minimally invasive treatment.
For almost 50 years, Almeida & Bell Dental has been a leading general and cosmetic dentistry practice in the Denver area. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Donald Almeida in Eagle, Colorado, the practice has grown under the leadership of Dr. Adam Almeida and Dr. Paul Bell, who are recognized among the industry's top cosmetic dentists. The practice offers a range of services including restorative dentistry, general dentistry, sedation dentistry, and neuromuscular dentistry for TMJ disorder. With office locations in Lone Tree, Colo., next to Highlands Ranch and in Denver in the Northfield and Central Park area, the practice continues to transform lives by changing smiles.
This development matters because it signals a shift toward more accessible and efficient cosmetic dentistry. By embracing 3D printing, Almeida & Bell Dental is not only reducing costs for patients but also setting a precedent for other practices to adopt similar technologies. The move could pressure the dental industry to reconsider traditional laboratory-dependent workflows and accelerate the adoption of digital dentistry, ultimately benefiting patients with faster, more affordable, and less invasive smile transformations.
