How Does CAD/CAM Work?

Images are taken of the prepared tooth with a special camera. The machine converts the photo into a 3D virtual model. There is no need for messy and uncomfortable mouth impressions. Then, with input from the trained and experienced staff at Dental Arts of Plymouth, the software creates the custom restoration. A ceramic block is used in the milling process. This block gets carved to the precise shape and specification you need. CEREC milled material is more durable than the traditional way of layering and pressing. As a result, you can feel confident that your same-day crown will last for many years. Finally, the finished dental work is bonded, polished, and the tooth is fully restored. Typically, the entire procedure requires no more than two hours to complete.
