Stratasys Offers USA Olympic Hockey Hero, Gold Medalist Jack Hughes, Free 3D-Printed Dentures Following Historic Victory at Milan Cortina Olympic Games
3D printing leader extends offer to Team USA hockey star, showcasing how digital dentistry can restore any athlete’s smile quickly, precisely, and anywhere in the US
MINNETONKA, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel — Stratasys Ltd. today announced it is offering Team USA hockey player Jack Hughes complimentary 3D-printed dentures following his Gold Medal-winning performance at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
Hughes, the center for the New Jersey Devils and star of the United States men’s ice hockey team, scored the overtime goal that secured Team USA’s first Olympic gold medal in men’s hockey since 1980. Hughes’ heroics came after he famously lost three teeth from a high stick to the face earlier in the game.
Tooth loss is a well-known occupational hazard in hockey. For young athletes like Hughes, removable dentures are often the preferred solution over permanent implants, given the potential of future dental injuries over the course of a career. Stratasys’s digital workflow makes this option more accessible than ever: a dentist simply takes a scan, a digital file is created, and the teeth can be printed and delivered with exceptional accuracy and natural aesthetics.
"Jack Hughes just helped bring home a Gold Medal for the United States, and while we can all appreciate the grit of his now infamous grin, we think he deserves to celebrate with a great smile,” said Chris Kabot, Vice President and Global Head of Dental at Stratasys. “This is exactly what 3D printing technology was built for – delivering real, customized solutions for real people, fast."
With dental labs powered by Stratasys’s TrueDent® 3D-printed denture technology across the United States, Hughes can visit any dentist, including his own local provider, and have his new smile ready in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
TrueDent is a polychromatic, monolithic digital denture platform that delivers precise, lifelike, and cost-effective removable dental solutions. Using a digital file generated from a standard dental scan, Stratasys can produce dentures at one of its many partner labs across the country, making the process seamless, fast, and flexible.
