CAD/CAM Dental Restorations Nashua, NH
Same Day Restorative Dentistry With Innovative CAD/CAM Technology
CAD/CAM is an acronym that stands for computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing. CAD/CAM technology is used to help the dental team fabricate precise shapes and sizes for dental restorations, including dental inlays onlays, dental crowns, and dental bridges. This technology provides patients with durable, esthetic, well-fitted single and multiple tooth restorations in a more efficient manner.
Nashua dentists use CAD/CAM technology for tooth preparation. Next, a digital impression is taken that sends the prepared tooth’s exact dimensions to a computer. Afterwards, the computer software creates a virtual restoration replacement part for the missing areas of the tooth. The software then sends the virtual restoration data to the milling machine, where the replacement part is carved out of a solid block of ceramic or composite resin. The restoration is adjusted in the patient’s mouth and cemented or bonded in place.
