This system is dual-purposed: it uses both computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to create crowns and dental restorations. To prepare your tooth for the restoration, we will remove all decay and then make a digital impression of the tooth using the CEREC camera. The CAD software in this system allows Dr. Turner and our team to examine your teeth from every angle.
The impression of your teeth is then used to design your custom ceramic restoration. First we add the custom specifications into the system computer; then we add a ceramic block into the milling unit. The block chosen will resemble your existing tooth color to ensure your crown looks natural. Within 15 minutes, the restoration is complete and is ready to be fixed in your mouth.
