When you visit the dentist to have your crown or bridge fitted, have you ever marvelled at the precision of the dental prosthetic that they make for your teeth? The solution lies in a new player in the game, something known as CAD/CAM dental milling technology. This incredible technology enables dentists and dental labs to make accurate and effective dental restorations with the help of computers and special tools. So, without further ado, let's get into the nitty-gritty of CAD/CAM dental milling.
(Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing)DESIGN/TECH Process: TECH-Boat Panel Pressing This is step 1 in a 2 step process. It’s sort of like a very smart robot aiding dentists and dental technicians as they make dental crowns, bridges and implants. Here’s how it works: First, a dentist takes a digital scan of your teeth with a special camera. The computer then takes that scan and creates the perfect fitting dental restoration. Once the design is complete, it’s time to let the CAD/CAM milling machine work its magic.
The CAD/CAM milling machine works similarly to a 3D printer, but instead of using additive material deposition, it’s removing material that it doesn’t need from a block, then gives it to the operator. The dental restoration is milled based on the design provided by the computer. It’s as if you had a super-precise 3D printer that could produce dental prosthetics with staggering precision.” Using CAD/CAM, dental restorations can be produced more accurately and in much less time, providing a perfect fit.
Dental labs are a significant part of creating dental prosthetics for patients. Gone are the days when dental technicians had to handcraft crowns and bridges from molds and wax. It was a slow process that occasionally led to imprecise dental restorations. Yet the arrival of CAD/CAM milling machines means that dental labs are high-tech factories.
Today,T it is possible for dental technicians to conveniently machine accurate dental prosthesis with the CAD/CAM. Now, dental prosthetics need not be made by brute force and intuition. No more, with the computers and milling machines making them perfect fitting crowns and bridges at a fraction of the time. This doesn’t just increase efficiency for dental labs, it also ensures that patients are receiving consistently high-quality dental restorations.
At Gusrom, we believe in the most advanced CAD/CAM milling technology to give our patients the best dental care we can offer. Working together, our cutting edge milling machines and experienced dental technicians are capable of producing dental prosthetics that are accurate, robust and beautiful. If you’re in need of a crown, bridge or implant, just know you can come to Gusrom for superior quality dental restorations that fit right and look natural.
CAD/CAM has become an integral part of dentistry practice worldwide. With CAD/CAM milling technology, dentists are able to offer patients nearly perfect treatment with precision results and delivery in a single appointment. Now, patients can avoid gooey molds and an extra round of office visits for dental prosthetics. All the works are done by CAD/CAM, digitally, quickly and in excellent condition for the patients.
