As the dental industry advances, Dental CAD/CAM has emerged as one of the most useful, and powerful technologies available. Today in your own office, you have the possibility of fabricating chairside CAD/CAM restorations. With full management over contours and tooth shade, the accuracy and artistry of esthetic dentistry is in your control. With the ability to capture a digital impression of the tooth, these technologies allow for complete digital restoration design, and with a chairside mill in the practice, a range of materials can be used for the fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, implant abutments, surgical guides, and more.
What Types Of Chairside CAD/CAM Technologies Are Available?
Investing in a chairside CAD/CAM system can be a single investment in a complete end-to-end
chairside CAD/CAM system. However, you also have the option to start your digital dental path with a
digital impression system that can be used to send digital models directly to your dental laboratory or orthodontic appliance provider.
Chairside mills are the final piece of these systems with different mills being compatible with different materials and restoration types.
What Do I Need To Consider When Purchasing A Chairside CAD/CAM System?
Adding digital technology to your dental practice can mean new efficiencies and the ability to provide your patients with the benefits of same-day restorations. However, it is important to consider how these changes will impact the workflow in your practice. Training with the new technology is important for you and your team. It is also critical to invest in a system with a support network behind it. These technologies are developing rapidly, and they are changing the industry, so find the right digital technology for the way you practice and get started.
