What is CAD/CAM Technology?

This innovative technology allows us to take digital scans of your teeth, which are then used to design and create precise and high-quality restorations right in our office. Gone are the days of waiting for weeks for external labs to fabricate your crowns. With CAD/CAM, we streamline the process, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and ensuring you receive your restoration quickly and efficiently.

Not only does CAD/CAM technology save time, but it also ensures unparalleled accuracy and fit. By digitally designing your restoration, we can fine-tune every detail to perfectly match your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and comfortable fit.

How Does This Process Work?

There are a few simple steps that go into the process of using CAD/CAM technology for a restorative dental procedure.

First, our team will prepare your teeth and mouth for this procedure. This could include filing and shaping a tooth or a few teeth to be sure they are prepared for a potential crown or bridge to take place.

Next, Dr. Alisha Evangeline Prince will use an intraoral scanner to capture a 3D image of your mouth, teeth, and gums. This scanner is quick, effective and does not cause any discomfort. These images are extremely clear and detailed, so our team will be able to detect any potential issue or difficulty within the mouth prior to the procedure.

These digital impression images are then transferred to our computer for our team to view and analyze. Once we receive these images, Dr. Alisha Evangeline Prince will design and create your dental restoration, right in front of your eyes!

The next step in this process is what is known as milling, completed by a milling machine. This machine will essentially create your dental restoration in very little time. Our team is able to create your crown, bridge and/or implant in one single visit, thanks to this amazing technology.

Lastly, Dr. Alisha Evangeline Prince will secure your dental restoration into your mouth. This process can vary, depending on what type of procedure you receive. Sometimes, our team will recommend the use of sedation, which can be ideal for same-day implants since it is quick, effective, and virtually painless for the patient. Each patient has a unique dental situation–we are happy to talk through each option for this step of the process.
