CAD/CAM Restorations

What is CAD/CAM?

CAD/CAM, which stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, is a cutting-edge technology that empowers our dental team to craft dental restorations with exceptional precision. This includes inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. With CAD/CAM, patients benefit from restorations that are not only durable and aesthetically pleasing but also perfectly fitted, all delivered more efficiently.

The process begins with careful preparation of the tooth. Then, a digital impression captures the exact dimensions of the prepared tooth, transmitting this data to a computer. Specialized software then designs a virtual restoration, meticulously recreating the missing areas of the tooth. Finally, this virtual design is sent to a milling machine, which precisely carves the restoration from a solid block of high-quality ceramic or composite resin. The finished restoration is then meticulously adjusted in your mouth and securely cemented or bonded into place.
