In the dynamic field of modern dentistry, technological advancements are revolutionizing treatment options and enhancing patient experiences like never before. These innovations are particularly transformative in cosmetic dentistry, where procedures like veneers are benefiting greatly from cutting-edge technologies. This article explores the latest tech trends specifically in veneer procedures, highlighting how these advancements improve precision, comfort, and aesthetic outcomes for patients.
CAD/CAM Technology: Customization and Precision
Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has revolutionized the fabrication of dental restorations, including veneers. This process begins with digital impressions captured using intraoral scanners, eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions. These digital impressions are then used by dentists to design custom veneers using specialized CAD software.
Once the design is finalized, CAM technology mills the veneers from blocks of porcelain or composite resin with exceptional precision. This digital workflow ensures that each veneer is tailored precisely to fit the patient’s teeth, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
