Dental Procedures: CAD/CAM Crowns

Modern dental technology has greatly advanced in the past decades. Nothing is too small for modern technology to influence including the advancesin the field of computer aided dental CAD/CAM crowns.

Today, Cincinnati dentist Dr. Khetarapl is putting CAD\CAM to work in the manufacturing of restorative items such as crowns,bridges and other items. The equipment allows for ceramic material that creates a seamless and flawless product which fits perfectly into a patient’s mouth.

Basically the computer-aided design program will feed data and information into a manufacturing or milling machine which then creates an item to the operator’s specifications.

Usually restorative dental procedures or cosmetic dentistry would require a patient to make two or more visits to their dentist. This is because they would need to have a mold of the tooth or area in question made from which a custom crown or other restorative would be prepared.

With CAD\CAM technology in her office, the Dr. Kheatapal can take the appropriate images and measurements and design the item to be manufactured in only a few short minutes. From there it can be immediately fitted without the patient being required to wear a temporary crown for a week or more while they wait for the new one to be manufactured.

Not all Cincinnati area dentists are willing, or able, to afford the equipment required of the technology. This may mean a person interested in having dental restoration done with CAD\CAM equipment may have to use a new dentist or for the procedures.
