As a parent, your child’s oral health is a top priority.  Healthy teeth play a crucial role in their overall well-being, affecting their confidence, nutrition, and development. When a tooth suffers damage from decay or injury, modern dentistry offers an innovative solution: 3D CAD\/CAM crowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is 3D CAD\/CAM Crown Fabrication?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3D CAD\/CAM stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. While the terminology might seem complex, the process is actually a streamlined and efficient way to create custom dental restorations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simpler terms, it combines digital scanning and precision milling to produce crowns that seamlessly integrate with your child’s natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAD (Computer-Aided Design)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CAD involves the use of digital tools to design dental restorations. In the context of crown fabrication, a detailed digital model of the patient’s tooth is created. This model serves as the blueprint for the crown, ensuring that it fits perfectly within the patient’s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CAM utilizes this digital design to guide the fabrication of the crown. The manufacturing process typically involves milling the crown from a solid block of ceramic or porcelain, materials known for their strength and aesthetic qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n

How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process begins with a digital scan of your child’s mouth, which creates a highly accurate 3D model of their teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model is then used as a blueprint for designing a crown that perfectly matches the shape, size, and color of the damaged tooth. Once the design is finalized, the crown is fabricated using a milling machine that carves the restoration from a solid block of ceramic or porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This eliminates the need for multiple visits and temporary crowns, saving you valuable time and minimizing disruption to your child’s schedule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Precise Fit:<\/strong> The digital impression and milling process ensure an exceptionally precise fit for the crown. This not only enhances the crown’s aesthetics but also contributes to its durability and long-term success.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
