What it is:
A milling machine is used to take a solid blank of material and shape it into a useable product for the dental patient. 3D milling is used for making crowns, bridges, ortho aligners and retainers as well as different guides.
Procedure:
Materials that are used range from acrylics to zirconium and titanium. Blanks are placed in the mill and in a few minutes your final product is done.
Patient Benefits:
Milled products fit well because of the precision. They can also be done for a quick turn-around for a patient. Implant prosthesis made of titanium that are milled are stronger than any other traditional methods.
