We manufacture unique dental care materials. Their mission is to ensure that everyone has a healthy, beautiful smile. They manufacture one of their most significant materials: CAD CAM zirconia. The reason this material is so unique and special is because it is manufactured by CAD CAM, which is advanced technology. CAD and CAM refer to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing respectively, which are crucial tools in the realm of dentistry.
Computer-aided design (CAD) computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology also bolsters the development of incredibly accurate objects. In addition, dentists are able to utilize the special software that is included with CAD CAM to make a design for a crown or bridge for a patient’s tooth. A crown is a cap that goes on top of a damaged tooth, and a bridge replaces a missing tooth by connecting crowns. After the dentist completes the design on the computer, a milling machine gets involved. This machine cuts the design out of a block of zirconia, a durable type of ceramic material. The advantage is a perfectly shaped crown or bridge that fits the patient’s tooth exactly. This is a crucial process to ensure that everything is customized to fit.
What is CAD CAM Zirconia and how is changing things for the dentist? Providing higher accuracy and speed than its predecessors in making crowns and bridges. Dentists used to take physical impressions in the old days to produce these dental components. Molds can be finicky to get right, and in some cases, they do not fit properly. If this were the case, the dentist would have to return the crowns or bridges to the lab to make adjustments. This can be very time-consuming, something that none of the parties involved will appreciate.
With CAD CAM zirconia, however, the design process can be much faster and more accurate. Easy Editability: Dentists can modify the design directly on the computer easily. Some systems also allow patients to preview how a crown or bridge will appear before it is fabricated. This not only saves time but also creates a very helpful add-on, to make the final product to be perfect the very first time around. We do it for every single crown we make and it makes the whole dental experience much smoother for the dentist as well as for the patients.
CAD CAM zirconia is a useful material that can be used for a variety of dental restorations. These are crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. A crown is a type of cap cemented onto a tooth that protects it and restores its shape and size so that it looks like a normal tooth. A bridge consists of a series of connected crowns designed to replace a missing tooth. This assists in restoring the smile and allows the patients to eat and talk easily.
This is the beauty of CAD CAM zirconia that unites art of dentistry with the technology. Dentistuses creative skills to sculpt a restoration that has natural color and performs harmoniously with the patient’s existing teeth. This is really crucial because strong looking restoration can enhance confidence. Once the artistic design is done, CAD CAM technology works to create that design accurately. The coordinating factors between the technology and the art is what makes CAD CAM zirconia so unique.
One of the most significant benefits of CAD CAM zirconia crowns is that they appear and function like natural teeth. It is made from zirconia, a material which is extremely durable and able to withstand the pressure produced by biting and chewing. It also has a translucent nature, meaning that it reflects the light the same as natural teeth. This makes crowns more natural looking, and helps it fit within the patient's smile.
