CAD CAM Dentistry

This breakthrough technology is called CAD/CAM (computer assisted design / computer aided manufacturing) that allows us to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings, saving you time and avoiding inconvenience.

Our Goal

To economically restore damaged teeth at Saratoga cad cam dentistry in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth with the strength of natural enamel.

How does the it work?

Cad Cam dentistry technology incorporates a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. We use a special camera to take accurate 3D digital pictures of your teeth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where we use special CAD software to design a very precise restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. Thanks for our experience with cad cam dentistry, the entire process only takes about an hour to complete!

What does this innovation mean for a patient?

A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive, plaque-resistant and very strong. CAD CAM dentistry means no more need to create temporaries or take impressions, then send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second visit has been eliminated.

There are over two decades of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective. Patients who have experienced this technology in our Saratoga cad cam dentistry office have been very impressed and want to have this technology used for every future dental need.
