Almeida & Bell Dental Brings 3D Printed Veneers to Lone Tree, Cutting Costs and Treatment Time

Almeida & Bell Dental Lone Tree has introduced in-office 3D printed dental veneers, a technological shift that could make cosmetic smile transformations significantly more accessible to patients across the Denver metro area. The practice, which has served the region for nearly five decades, now designs and prints veneers directly in its office, eliminating the delays and expenses of sending cases to an outside dental laboratory.

According to the practice, the new veneers cost approximately half as much as traditional laboratory-fabricated porcelain veneers and are completed in dramatically less time. Because the restorations are printed in-house, patients face fewer appointments and shorter waits for their final smiles. The approach also requires less tooth preparation, preserving more healthy enamel—a key advantage for those seeking a more conservative cosmetic treatment.

The technology was adopted after specialized continuing education and training with The MOD Institute, where Dr. Adam Almeida, DDS, and Dr. Paul Bell, DDS, focused on the workflow for designing and 3D printing aesthetic veneers. Their training emphasized creating ultra-thin, natural-looking restorations that avoid heavy tooth reduction, a common concern among patients considering veneers.

"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."

The implications for the dental industry are notable. In-office 3D printing could reduce reliance on external labs, lower overhead costs, and speed up treatment timelines—factors that may pressure other practices to adopt similar technology. For patients, the combination of affordability and minimally invasive care could expand access to cosmetic dentistry beyond traditional price points. The practice believes this represents the future of cosmetic dentistry by merging efficiency, value, and enamel preservation.

Almeida & Bell Dental offers a full range of services, including restorative, general dentistry, sedation dentistry, and neuromuscular dentistry for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. The practice operates two locations: one in Lone Tree, Colo., near Highlands Ranch, and another in Denver in the Northfield and Central Park area. With this launch, Almeida & Bell continues a nearly 50-year tradition of bringing advanced dental care to Colorado residents.
