Why choose Renishaw & incise dental CAD/CAM software?

Why switch to CAD/CAM?

CAD/CAM is revolutionising restorative dentistry, bringing a new level of precision and consistency to the production of crowns and bridges. Combined with modern materials that offer enhanced biocompatibility and aesthetics, these techniques promote better patient health, giving them the confidence to smile.

CAD/CAM allows you to avoid inconsistent and labour-intensive investment casting and waxing-up processes, reducing overheads and eliminating re-makes. Instead, you can focus your efforts on more creative activities that add the most value to your business.

The CAD/CAM process

A six-stage process in which the clinician, technician and CAD/CAM provider collaborate to deliver a high quality restoration.

1. Consultation, diagnosis, tooth preparation and impressions
2. Model preparation
3. Scanning of stone model and framework design
4. Framework manufacture (10 year guarantee)
5. Porcelain build-up and characterisation
6. Fitment of restoration
