Computer Aided Design and Milling (CADCAM) technology has been around for a long time but now tools are available that have made the process simple and quick. Naenae Dental Clinic have invested heavily in the best technology available and use this to deliver superior restorative options such as crowns and inlays/onlays chair-side, usually completed in a single day. This means there is often no need for temporaries or messy impressions as they simply scan your teeth with a high-tech camera and work behind the scenes to get your restoration ready. During this time you can have a break, and once the restoration is ready they bond it all in the same day, it’s as simple as that.

With CADCAM technology, there is no need to use impressions, because the technology will create custom 3-D images of your prepared tooth or teeth by simply scanning them with a high-tech camera, creating a virtual design.  The design guides the milling machine to carve the restoration from a solid block of restorative material which will become the basis for your restoration process.

The whole process between about 40 minutes and two and a half hours. Though a lengthy procedure, it will save you a lot of time compared to when you have to take multiple trips to the dentist’s office.  CADCAM no longer requires a second appointment, nor a temporary recovery period. Everything is fast, easy, and simple.

CAD CAM provides many advantages for restorative dentistry. It includes improved accuracy, shorter waiting periods of time, and minimised outsourcing costs. The technology also enables dentists to provide you with accurate, strong dimensionally stable restorations. This means that these restorations can last a long time and are much less likely to fracture compared to those millings from earlier materials. 

Naenae Dental Clinic have invested in the best technology available to deliver superior restorative options. Through CAD CAM technology, they can offer crowns and indirect restorations that are usually completed in a single day, so for more information on teeth whitening, wisdom teeth removal and dental hygienists http://naenaedentalclinic.co.nz .
