CAD/CAM Systems

At Infinite Smile Dental, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care to our patients, and one of the ways we do this is by incorporating Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems into our practice. This cutting-edge technology offers numerous benefits that enhance our ability to provide precise, customized, and durable dental restorations. Dr. Kimberly G. Kau utilizes CAD/CAM systems to improve the overall treatment experience, providing superior outcomes and greater patient satisfaction.

Here’s how CAD/CAM systems benefit our patients:

Key Advantages of CAD/CAM Systems

Precision and Accuracy

CAD/CAM technology allows us to design and manufacture dental restorations with exceptional precision and accuracy. Traditional methods of creating restorations often rely on manual impressions, which can result in errors and imperfections. With CAD/CAM systems, digital impressions are used to capture detailed images of the patient’s teeth, ensuring that the restoration fits perfectly and comfortably. This advanced digital technology minimizes the chances of mistakes, ensuring a more precise and reliable outcome.

Customization and Aesthetics

One of the standout features of CAD/CAM systems is their ability to customize dental restorations to meet each patient’s specific anatomical needs and aesthetic preferences. Whether it's a crown, bridge, or veneer, Dr. Kau can design restorations that closely mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, ensuring that they blend seamlessly with your smile. The system allows for a high degree of aesthetic customization, including:

• Matching the color and shape of natural teeth.
• Designing restorations with optimal contours for a natural look.
• Achieving highly aesthetic outcomes that meet the patient's expectations.

This level of customization not only improves the appearance of the restoration but also contributes to enhanced patient satisfaction.

Predictable Outcomes

CAD/CAM technology offers predictable and consistent results. By using precise digital designs and advanced manufacturing specifications, Dr. Kau can anticipate factors like fit, occlusion (bite), and marginal integrity, leading to restorations that are both functional and comfortable. The ability to plan and control these factors minimizes the risk of complications and enhances the long-term success of the restoration. This predictability is key to achieving high success rates and reducing the need for follow-up visits or adjustments.

Expanded Treatment Options

The use of CAD/CAM systems broadens the scope of treatment options available to our patients. Dr. Kau can create dental restorations using a variety of materials, including:

Ceramics: Known for their strength and aesthetic appeal, ceramics are commonly used for crowns, bridges, and veneers.

Resins: Ideal for situations where a less invasive, more affordable restoration is required.

Hybrid materials: Combining the benefits of different materials for restorations that offer both durability and aesthetic appeal.

By offering a range of materials, Dr. Kau can select the best option for each patient based on clinical requirements, personal preferences, and budget considerations. This ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment for their needs.

Long-Term Durability

CAD/CAM systems not only enhance the precision and fit of restorations but also contribute to their long-term durability. The highly accurate design and fabrication process minimizes gaps and imperfections, which can otherwise lead to complications such as wear, infection, or restoration failure. As a result, CAD/CAM restorations exhibit excellent durability and longevity. When properly designed and maintained, these restorations are less likely to require premature replacements or repairs, offering significant long-term value.
