Dental Chairside System

A dental chairside system is designed to provide a complete digital workflow for the dental surgery and reduce time taken for treatments. It enables the dentist to produce same-day restorations for his patients This is very attractive to both the dentist and the patient as it dramatically shortens the turn-around time for treatments. The patient can reduce his normally 2 visits to just one.

At first appointment the dentist takes a digital impression using an intra oral scanner. From the scan data the restoration is designed in 3D CAD design software. The finished design is imported to the CAM software that drives the CNC milling machine and the restoration is milled in about 10 minutes. Depending on the material used the restoration may have to be fired in a furnace and before being used in the patient.

Today there are many nanocomposite hybride materials that are used in dentistry. The benefit using these materials is that you can produce a restoration in a much shorter time than using zirconia materials that require high temperature sintering.

Dental CAD Solution’s chairside system is in its capabilities similar to a full-blown lab system and can be used for most types of restoration and not restricted to basic crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. We will tailor the setup to suit your individual needs.

In recent years there is a growing interest from patients to have their treatment done digitally. Many patients would change their dentist, pay more and travel further to have it done with the latest technology. It gives them a lot more confidence in the treatment plan.

The benefits are many.There is a lot more visual information available for the patient to view when deciding to go ahead with a procedure.

Conclusion: The digital way is more attractive to all parties.

Dental CAD/CAM has emerged as one of the most useful, and powerful technologies available. Now  you have the possibility of fabricating chairside CAD/CAM restorations. With full management over contours and tooth shade, the accuracy and artistry of esthetic dentistry is in your control. With the ability to capture a digital impression of the tooth, these technologies allow for complete digital restoration design, and with a chairside mill in the practice, a range of materials can be used for the fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, implant abutments, surgical guides, and more.

There is a lot to know  about chairside solutions so I suggest you give us a call to discuss in more detail.
