Understanding CAD/CAM Technology
CAD/CAM technology has transformed the way dentists design, fabricate, and place dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and inlays/onlays. The process involves the use of specialized computer software and milling machines to create these restorations with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
Digital Impressions
Rather than using traditional impression materials, we utilize an intraoral scanner to capture highly detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth. This digital scanning process is fast, comfortable, and eliminates the need for messy, uncomfortable impression trays.
Digital Design
The digital impressions are then uploaded into our CAD software, which allows Dr. DiBartola to virtually design your dental restoration. Using advanced modeling tools, he can customize the shape, size, and fit of the restoration to ensure it seamlessly integrates with your natural teeth.
Automated Fabrication
Once the digital design is complete, the restoration is automatically fabricated using our in-office milling machine. This state-of-the-art equipment precisely carves the restoration from a solid block of high-quality dental ceramic or composite material.
Same-Day Completion
In many cases, we can complete the entire CAD/CAM process in a single appointment, allowing you to leave our Bridgeville office with your new restoration the same day.
The Benefits of CAD/CAM Dentistry
The integration of CAD/CAM technology at DiBartola Dental provides numerous advantages for our patients, including:
Improved Accuracy
The digital scanning and design process ensures an exceptional fit and reduces the risk of errors compared to traditional impressions and manual fabrication. This leads to better-fitting, longer-lasting restorations.
Enhanced Aesthetics
CAD/CAM technology allows us to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We can precisely match the shape, size, and color of the restoration to provide a natural-looking, beautiful result.
Faster Treatment
By streamlining the entire process, CAD/CAM dentistry dramatically reduces the number of appointments required. In many cases, we can complete the entire procedure, from impression to final restoration, in a single visit.
Expanded Material Options
The advanced milling capabilities of our CAD/CAM system allow us to fabricate restorations from a wide range of high-quality materials, including:
- Porcelain: Offers exceptional aesthetics and durability
- Composite resin: Highly customizable for a natural appearance
- Zirconia: An exceptionally strong and biocompatible ceramic
- Lithium disilicate: Combines strength and translucency
