CAD (Computer-Aided Design) transforms dental care by replacing messy molds with digital scans and precise milling machines to fabricate custom restorations. This technology dramatically increases efficiency, often allowing patients to receive crowns, bridges, or veneers in one single, convenient appointment.
Linhart Dentistry uses the most advanced digital scanners and mills to create crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays in about 2 hours – no messy impressions or multiple visits needed.
These state-of-the-art tools allow us to scan, design, and place your restoration in a single visit, improving both comfort and convenience.
Our precision scanning produces strong, natural-looking restorations from ceramic, porcelain, composite, and zirconia – ideal for both restorative and Invisalign® cases.
Preparation: The tooth is prepared by Dr. Linhart for the necessary restoration, whether it’s a crown, inlay, or onlay.
Scanning: The prepared tooth is scanned inside your mouth with a camera that uses lasers to build a 3-dimensional model of the tooth.
Digital Design: The restoration (crown, inlay, onlay) is designed digitally using the industry’s most revolutionary software. Every intricate detail can be customized to make the restoration a perfect fit.
Custom Milling: Utilizing both the E4D and CEREC mills – the industry’s finest tech – your restoration is milled from a solid block of either porcelain, E.max lithium disilicate, composite/porcelain hybrid, or zirconia.
Final Touches: The restoration is adjusted and cemented onto the prepared tooth.
Time Savings: Many restorations can be completed in a single visit, saving you from making multiple trips to the dentist.
No Messy Impressions: The digital scanning process is highly comfortable and does away with gooey, gag-inducing impression materials.
High Precision: The digital software creates incredibly exact, well-fitting restorations that look and feel highly natural.
While the upfront technology and material costs for your dentist can be higher, these are often offset by savings in laboratory fees and the convenience of requiring fewer appointments.
