What Makes CAD/CAM Technology Unique?
Traditionally, prosthodontic procedures require multiple visits to the dentist. This process typically involves polishing the tooth, creating temporary crowns, taking impressions, and having a new crown crafted in a laboratory. These steps can span several days to weeks, and any necessary adjustments can prolong the timeline even further. However, with CAD/CAM technology, we streamline this process significantly.
Using biocompatible materials that match the natural strength of your teeth, we can create precise dental prosthetics in a remarkably short timeframe. In just a few hours, you can receive a permanent, metal-free ceramic crown, with the option to address multiple teeth within a matter of days.
How Is Digital Prosthesis Performed?
Our state-of-the-art CEREC system, developed in Germany, employs an intraoral camera to scan your teeth. This scan generates an immediate 3D representation displayed on a screen, allowing you to witness the design of your future tooth in real time.
Once the design is finalized, a highly accurate restoration can be printed using advanced 3D printing technology in just 10 to 15 minutes. After the restoration is crafted, it is affixed securely to your tooth, becoming a seamless part of your dental structure. You can resume chewing shortly after the procedure, once any anesthesia has worn off.
By choosing CAD/CAM technology at California Medical Center, you not only save time and reduce discomfort in the dental chair but also enjoy a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration that will last for years to come.
