For decades, the most dreaded step for patients in the clinic was taking impressions. Those trays filled with paste (alginate or silicone) caused gagging, a bad taste in the mouth, and an eternal wait for the material to set.<\/p>\n
Thanks to file reception via intraoral scanning<\/b>, we can now receive exact digital replicas<\/strong> of the patient’s mouth through a much more comfortable process.<\/p>\n Once the file is received, our technical team performs an exhaustive quality control and digital verification<\/strong> to ensure that margins and impression parameters are perfect before designing any type of restoration and transferring it to manufacturing.<\/p>\n It is a technology used by dental clinics based on a small camera that projects a light source onto the teeth, creating a 3D digital image of them and the surrounding tissues. For us, as a manufacturing center, receiving this digital file replaces the traditional plaster model, eliminating the physical distortion errors associated with pouring impressions.<\/p>\n Millimeter-level precision:<\/b> Unlike traditional paste impressions (alginates or silicones) which can suffer micro-deformations during the process, the digital file is unalterable. This reduces distortions, ensuring that the structure milled in our center fits perfectly<\/strong> on the first try upon arriving at the clinic.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Immediate digital workflow:<\/b> By receiving the 3D file of the patient’s mouth instantly at our laboratory, our team of designers can immediately begin working on the CAD prosthesis design, drastically shortening turnaround times.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Simulation of results:<\/b> Laboratory CAD software allows us to predictively analyze the path of insertion, minimum material thicknesses (such as zirconia or titanium), and the final aesthetics of the prosthesis, guaranteeing technical viability before manufacturing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n To guarantee maximum precision in every structure we manufacture, at CNC Dental we implement a standardized and 100% digital production process consisting of the following phases:<\/p>\n Reception of the digital model (Inflow Phase):<\/b> The process begins when the dentist performs the intraoral scan in their clinic and sends it to their trusted dental laboratory. The lab then sends the digital file (usually in STL format) to our production center. If the laboratory wants CNC Dental to design it, we perform an initial technical check<\/strong> to validate that the preparation margins and data are correct for machining.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n CAD Modeling and Design:<\/b> Once the file is validated, our dental technicians use computer-aided design (CAD) software. The exact anatomy of the prosthesis<\/strong> (whether a single crown, a bridge, or a complex implant structure) is modeled on screen, calculating the necessary thicknesses down to the millimeter to ensure the material’s strength.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n CNC Machining and Milling (Manufacturing Phase):<\/b> The approved virtual design is sent to our milling machines. These machines sculpt or print the final piece<\/strong> in an automated manner using the specified materials, achieving a microscopic fit that could not be achieved with traditional casting methods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Finishing and shipping:<\/b> Once the piece is manufactured, it goes through the necessary processes and manual finishing by our technicians (trimming, polishing, etc.). Finally, the custom-made medical device is packaged and shipped back to the laboratory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Intraoral scanning, combined with industrial machining, not only streamlines turnaround times but also guarantees a level of precision and marginal fit that was previously unthinkable with traditional methods.<\/p>\n If you are a dental professional looking to make the definitive leap to the digital workflow with a trusted partner, we are here to help<\/a>.
