3D Printing in Dentistry
Technology is constantly advancing. In recent years in particular, 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology have become increasingly important—not only in industry, but also in dentistry. At our practice in Kronberg, we use these options to produce precise dental restorations—with minimal waiting times. Our patients benefit from the accuracy, aesthetics, and comfort of their implants.
Perfectly Fitting Dental Restorations with 3D Printing and CAD/CAM Technology
The advantage: maximum precision and a perfect fit
The greatest advantage of restorations made using CAD/CAM and 3D printers is precision. Thanks to digital planning on the computer, implants or bridges can be perfectly adapted to the situation. This means that pressure points and adjustments can be reduced to a minimum. In addition, production time is significantly shortened: in some cases, the restoration can even be fitted on the same day.
Aesthetics are also impressive: the material used is tooth-coloured, particularly durable, and stable. This means the restoration blends harmoniously into the row of natural teeth and does not stand out visually. For our patients, this means greater comfort, fewer follow-up dental appointments, and a fast, visually appealing result.
Where are dental restorations produced using 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology used?
At our dental practice in Kronberg, we now use 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology in a wide range of applications in the field of dental restorations. It is most commonly used for crowns or bridges. Inlays and veneers can also be produced effectively and precisely using this process for use in dentistry.
If you receive an implant, a customised superstructure can be perfectly tailored to the needs of your jaw and thus prevent incorrect loading. Splints and temporary restorations can also be produced to fit precisely with a 3D printer.
What does treatment involve?
The first step is always a digital impression. For this, we use a modern intraoral scanner. It captures your teeth completely without impression material. This data is processed on the computer and transferred into a model using CAD software, then produced in the 3D printer. The dentist can then plan your restoration precisely. This often takes only a few hours and enables fast treatment with high-quality implants. Finally, the implant is placed and, if necessary, minimally adjusted. As a rule, however, the implant fits perfectly straight away thanks to digital planning and offers maximum comfort.
At our practice, you benefit from state-of-the-art dentistry and technology such as 3D printing. Our experienced team combines these new possibilities with craftsmanship and many years of experience to achieve convincing results. You receive precisely fitting implants that impress both aesthetically and functionally. Our goal is always for the implants to feel just like your natural teeth.
Our conclusion: Dental restorations with digital impressions and 3D printing
3D printing and CAD/CAM technology are valuable tools in the production of dental restorations. They offer precision, speed, and comfort. Waiting times are reduced to a minimum, and you benefit from an aesthetically pleasing restoration.
