What Is CAD/CAM?

Dentist Burlington

CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology is an innovative advancement in dentistry that transforms the process of creating dental restorations. Using CAD, digital scans of your teeth are taken to create a precise 3D model of your restoration, while CAM utilizes high-tech milling machines or 3D printers to fabricate the restoration from materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or other dental composites. This process allows for the creation of crowns, bridges, veneers, and other dental restorations in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

Many restorations can now be completed in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary solutions. CAD/CAM technology also ensures unparalleled accuracy, providing a comfortable and precise fit for your restoration, enhancing both the function and aesthetics of your smile. This technology offers patients an efficient and highly effective solution for achieving a beautiful, long-lasting restoration.
