CAD CAM Technology in Sterling Heights - Is CAD/CAM technology popular among dentists?

When it comes to having restoration pieces done for your teeth, you may not have truly understood the process that goes on behind the scenes to create a crown, veneer, implant, or other tooth restoration piece. Up until recently, dentists had to make impressions ( molds), place temporary crowns and restorative pieces for their patients, then send molds to an off-site location to have restorations made for them, at which point the patient would return for the permanent placement of the piece. However, now, with the use of technology, LaserDentalAssociates.com can now use CAD/CAM technology in order to make dental restorations quickly, easily, and within our own practice the same day as the patient's visit.

CAD/CAM technology utilizes computers to create restorative pieces for our patients, and has been a growing practice and use for many dentists around the United States. CAD/CAM technology allows dentists to create virtual restorative pieces on their computer, and then have it milled from a color-matched porcelain to create the perfect restoration for their patients within a matter of minutes. These restorations are also dubbed "chair side" restorations, as they are available during a patient’s appointment and do not require the patient to return at another time to have their permanent restoration put in.

CAD/CAM technology is becoming increasingly popular amongst dentists, because of its ability to save time and money for both the dentist and the patient. By creating restorative pieces within the practice, dentists can save time placing temporary pieces and rescheduling an appointment with the patient to have the permanent restorative placed at a later time. All the steps of creating a restorative piece for a patient are done during one visit, which benefits both the dentist and the patient.

When it comes to accuracy and saving time and money for everyone involved, CAD/CAM technology allows everyone the benefit of a time-saving process by allowing LaserDentalAssociates.com the opportunity to make restorative products on-site.
