CAD/CAM Technology is Making Great Strides for Dentistry in Central Leeds

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

What is CAD/CAM technology?

CAD stands for computer aided design, while CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. CAM/CAD technology is used in dentistry to produce bespoke restorations and orthodontic appliances.

Restorations

CAD/CAM technology is used to produce custom-made restorations, including:

  • Crowns
  • Dental bridges
  • Veneers
  • Inlays
  • Onlays
  • Dental implant restorations

Cerec is the most well-known form of CAD/CAM software, which allows dentists to design, manufacture and fit brand new restorations all in the same day.

What are the advantages of CAD/CAM technology?

CAD/CAM technology has numerous benefits, for both dentists and patients in Central Leeds:

  • Decreased treatment time.
  • Increased patient involvement.
  • Increased control for the dentist.
  • Increased accuracy.
  • Fewer dental visits, which reduces the number of injections, which is particularly beneficial for nervous patients and those with a fear of needles and injections.
  • Bespoke restorations.
  • Reduced production costs.
  • Increased convenience for the patient.

Replace silver fillings with white!

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

We have been treating many patients recently who have been complaining of unsightly silver amalgam fillings in their teeth which show when smiling. If they are small silver fillings then we are replacing these with tooth coloured composite fillings. If they are medium to large silver fillings then we are restoring these with porcelain onlays and porcelain crowns. Most of the time these treatments can be completed in one visit only with our cerec system. If you are from Leeds, Harrogate, Bradford, Dewsbury, Wakefield and the surrounding areas and would like a FREE consultation with one of our experienced dentists then contact our friendly team on 01132454868.
