CADCAM

CAD/CAM process

With the help of computer-aided technologies, it is possible to manufacture crowns, bridges and implant constructions with the highest precision using the CAD/CAM process. CAD/CAM technology has advanced the use of high quality, biocompatible ceramic materials. However, cobalt-chromium alloys, plastics and biocompatible titanium can also be processed using CAD/CAM technology. First, the preparation must be transferred three-dimensionally. This can be done conventionally using a plaster model or by taking a digital impression. The workpiece is then constructed, taking into account the positional relationship to the neighboring teeth and the teeth of the opposite jaw. Finally, the construction is implemented by a networked CNC milling machine from a pore-free starting material with the usual excellent fitting accuracy. Ceramic veneers are then applied to this base. This is where our experienced technicians contribute their experience and artistic talent. This last instance is crucial for the aesthetic, functional and qualitative success of the restoration. Even monolithic zirconium restorations are given their finishing touches by a competent hand with a stain and glaze firing.
