CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. How are these useful in our dental procedures? Well, CAD and CAM are software that allows our dentist to perform a great number of dental procedures faster and more accurately. New 3D imaging tools allow our team to take painless, and easy diagnostic information of each patient and upload it to modern dental design software. With CAD and CAM, fabrication and restoration processes like that of the crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, and bridges are much easier for the dentist – and most importantly, more accurate for our patient! The final product is more precise as compared to when we use the traditional methods, and also results in less visits and chair time for our patients.

With the intraoral scans (digital impressions) there are no more messy impression materials. The device seamlessly takes thousands of images to create a 3D blueprint of each patient, for treatment planning. This modern method increases accuracy as scanners map out each patient’s unique anatomy, tooth shade, and size, instantly providing our team with all necessary information for the success of your treatment. The intraoral scanner displaces conventional impression supplies, yielding better results and beautiful smiles for our patients.
A CT scan is one of the most important tools in implant planning. It allows your dentist to get a 3D view of your mouth, allowing for your implant placement to be planned accurately for the best results. We have our own CT Scan on site, with the latest implant planning software.
