The Planmeca CAD/CAM Process

1. Digital Impression: We use a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth.
2. Computer-Aided Design (CAD): The digital impression is used to create a virtual model of your restoration.
3. Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM): The virtual design is sent to our on-site milling machine, which fabricates your restoration from a block of high-quality material.
4. Final Placement: Once milled, your restoration is polished and bonded to your tooth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.
