Same-Day Restorations With CAD/CAM
CAD/CAM stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Using a digital scan of your teeth, our prosthodontists design your restoration on screen with precise detail, then mill it from a solid block of ceramic or zirconia right in our office. The result is a crown, inlay or onlay that fits with exceptional accuracy — often completed in a single visit.
This technology eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions and reduces the wait time associated with outside dental labs. You spend less time in temporary restorations and more time enjoying a smile that looks and feels exactly right.
