CAD/CAM dentistry designs crowns, inlays and onlays on a computer from a digital scan and mills them from ceramic or zirconia, giving precise fit with fewer messy impressions.
When you might need it
- Broken or heavily filled teeth
- After root canal treatment
- Replacing old metal crowns
What to expect
- Tooth prepared
- Digital scan instead of impression
- Crown designed, milled and fitted
Every case is different. Your dentist will examine you, explain the options and give an estimate before treatment starts.
