UltraThineer™
The UltraThineer™ is the world’s thinnest cosmetic dental veneer. The 3D printed veneers use BMF’s proprietary technology, projection micro stereolithography (PµSL), which custom-manufactures veneers that are three-times thinner than traditional veneers and require significantly less preparation for dental professionals, allowing preservation of the patient’s enamel with less reduction.
BMF received FDA 510(k) clearance for its innovative UltraThineer™ material in Spring of 2024 and has begun to partner with dental labs in the U.S. to begin running test cases to bring the veneers to market by late 2024. The UItraThineer material represents the latest innovation delivered by BMF as the company looks to explore and establish new applications where its technology can reduce production time and cost.
UltraThineer veneers are the world’s thinnest veneers and feature advanced material, a production workflow, and the finishing process to deliver more comfortable and less invasive options in cosmetic dentistry. Developed in collaboration with Peking University, dental labs can now offer this highly precise alternative to traditional veneers for dental practices across the U.S., powered by BMF’s unique, micro-scale printing technology. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is already proven across multiple dental applications including orthodontic aligners, mouthguards, drill guides, and dentures due to need for on-demand, personalized, and custom solutions.
We are thrilled to hear that the UltraThineer veneer has received FDA 510(k) clearance. This is a significant milestone for our industry as having the ability to 3D print veneers in Zirconia is a game changer for dental technology. This breakthrough allows us to offer patients high quality veneers that require minimum prepping. This is just the beginning of our journey to revolutionize dental care, and we look forward to working with BMF to begin offering the UltraThineer to dental patients across the country.
