THE EQUIPMENT WE USE

3D Printing has Redefined the Dental Industry. Using dedicated materials practices can use 3D printers to produce orthodontic models, highly accurate crown and bridge models, surgical guides, castable or pressable restorations, aligners, retainers, long-term biocompatible dental products like splints or dentures and more.

In dentistry, dental milling is employed in the manufacture of both fixed and removable prosthodontic appliances. Since the final restoration is fabricated from a solid mass of its component material, the finished appliance is free of voids and defects that can lead to material fatigue and fracture. Over the years, milling has been developed, refined, and perfected with the aid of computer-aided design (CAD) into the precision computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) process that we find commonplace today. Whether the starting material is metal, glass ceramic, or resin, the basic milling process remains the same. A series of cutting instruments suitable for reduction of material are used to remove unwanted portions of the design at the direction of CAD software. What remains is the dental restoration.

The starting point for any digital dental CAD/CAM workflows is the 3D scanner. While several imaging technologies can be used, all dental lab scanners are designed to create a 3D digital model based on either a physical dental model or impression.

3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an digital imaging technology that allows dentists to evaluate the teeth, underlying bone structure, as well as the nerve pathways and surrounding soft tissues in a three dimensional environment in a single scan. During a CBCT scan, the imaging machine rotates entirely around the patient's head.

The CEREC Omnicam is a computerized acquisition unit that uses a camera to capture a optical digital image of a tooth or impression model. ... As the camera moves over the teeth, a photo-realistic image is displayed in full color and realtime with crisp clarity.

Intraoral phosphor plate x-ray (also known as phosphor storage plate or PSP x-ray) eliminates the need for traditional film processing for dental radiography. Phosphor storage plates can convert existing film based imaging systems to a digital format that can be integrated into a computer or network system.

This soft tissue laser is used during surgical, endodontic and orthodontic procedures

Guided dental implant surgery is when the dentist utilizes advanced machinery and imaging technology to “guide” or aid them to manufacture and place dental implants more efficiently, precisely and accurately.

CAD/CAM software is used to create a 3D digital model of a dental restoration and then instructs the mill or 3D printer on how to produce it. Computer-aided design (CAD) software is designed to guide a clinician through designing a 3D digital model of a crown, bridge, denture, aligners or other dental restoration.
