CAD/CAM Dentistry

CAD/CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing. The computer program displays 3-D custom images of teeth and gums, allowing an Expert Dentist to precisely design the tooth restoration with functional and aesthetic characteristics in mind. Once the restoration has been designed by the computer and our dental expert, the information is sent to a sculpting machine (milling) which creates the restoration to the exact specifications of the design through CAM. The technology is so vast that dental restorations made by CAD/CAM often fit better than those made by hand in a dental lab. At Realtooth, patient satisfaction is being increased simply because they can have their tooth repaired in a single day. One of the most effective uses of CAD/CAM at Realtooth Dental clinic is the same-day porcelain crown, which removes several steps, including using a temporary plastic crown while a permanent crown is made by a laboratory. By using the CAD/CAM technology Our dental experts are in complete control of the final result. Since the crown, inlay, on lay or veneer is designed and fabricated from start to finish by dentist, so we have total control over how it will look and fit. A crown made in a laboratory is under the control of the technician and assistants who work for plaster models and haven’t even seen the patient.
