The Power of CAD/CAM Milling: Precision at Every Step
In restorative dentistry, precision and predictability are non-negotiable. Every dentist knows the frustration of seating a crown or bridge that requires endless occlusal adjustments or marginal refinement. At Care Dental Laboratories, we understand that the success of your restoration begins long before the patient sits in the chair. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in advanced CAD/CAM milling technology, combined with over 42 years of laboratory expertise, to deliver restorations that fit right the first time.

CAD/CAM Milling: Redefining Accuracy in Dentistry
Gone are the days when every restoration relied solely on manual techniques. While artistry remains essential, digital workflows allow us to eliminate variability and reduce errors. Our lab is equipped with industry-leading systems, including the VHF, Asiga, and Weiland which enable us to mill with unmatched speed and precision.
These mills allow us to work with a wide range of materials, including:
• Zirconia: The gold standard for strength, durability, and natural esthetics.
• Lithium disilicate (E-max): Ideal for highly esthetic anterior cases.
• PMMA: A versatile solution for provisional restorations and try-ins.
• Titanium and CoCr: For custom implant abutments and frameworks.
By controlling the process in-house, we maintain strict quality standards, shorten turnaround times, and ensure that what arrives in your operatory is ready for predictable seating.

Why In-Lab Milling Matters for Dentists
Outsourcing may look cost-effective on paper, but it often results in unpredictable timelines and inconsistent outcomes. At Care Dental Laboratories, our in-house milling provides four critical advantages for clinicians:
1. Consistent Accuracy
Digital design combined with precise milling delivers restorations with excellent marginal integrity and contacts that require minimal adjustment.
2. Fewer Chairside Adjustments
Time spent grinding and adjusting restorations eats into productivity. Our restorations are designed and milled to fit seamlessly, saving you—and your patients—valuable time.
3. Faster Turnaround
Because we don’t rely on third-party production centers, we can offer faster delivery times while maintaining full oversight of every case.
4. Customization at Every Level
From shade matching to custom implant abutments, our CAD/CAM systems give us the flexibility to provide fully personalized solutions for your patients.

Experience That Elevates Technology
While CAD/CAM technology provides the tools, it is our decades of experience that ensures superior results. Technology cannot replace the trained eye of a skilled dental technologist.
Our team has over 42 years of practical knowledge in balancing occlusion, tissue management, and esthetics. When a case requires subtle adjustments—like contouring zirconia for improved emergence profiles or layering ceramics for natural translucency—we know exactly how to achieve the best clinical outcome.
At Care Dental Laboratories, we see CAD/CAM not as a replacement for expertise but as a force multiplier, allowing us to combine the consistency of machines with the artistry of human skill.

Delivering Predictability to Your Practice
For dentists, the most valuable outcome is confidence in your restorations. When a crown seats perfectly on the first try, you gain efficiency, your patient enjoys a smoother appointment, and your reputation as a provider of high-quality care grows.
Our CAD/CAM workflow ensures:
• Precision fits that protect against microleakage and secondary caries
• Strong, esthetic materials that meet both functional and cosmetic demands
• Streamlined communication through digital case planning and file transfer
• Reduced remakes thanks to consistent accuracy and technician oversight
This combination of technology and expertise makes Care Dental Laboratories a trusted partner for dentists across the Greater Toronto Area.
