As I was working at the Claremont dental clinic, I was talking to one of the nurses and she explained to me this particular machine can make crowns and veneers; it saves more time for them as well as the patients instead of having one particular tooth to be sent to the lab and waiting for days to recieve it. As you see in the video how a special type of liquid is being sprayed onto the block of the tooth model material, this is to shape the desired model for a crown or veneer. This roughly takes about 10 minutes to shape it from a block into the desired tooth model. Then after that they go into the mini lab and shape the crown or veneer more to fit the patient's structure of their teeth. Then after that they paint the crown or veneer to match the color of the patient's teeth and put it into another machine to let it dry and seal in the color and formation of the crown or veneer.
