Frequently Asked Questions

Dental CAD (computer-aided design) is a modern technology that dentists use to create accurate digital models of dental restorations like dentures, crowns, bridges, and all-on-x. This technology uses computer software to design these digital files which are then used to manufacture the physical restorations using CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) techniques, like 3D printing or milling. By using dental CAD design, dentists can guarantee that the restoration process for their patients’ teeth is precise and accurate.
