A flexible CAD environment supporting accuracy, customization, and seamless collaboration.
Valley Dental Arts approaches CAD technology as a precision planning tool rather than a replacement for clinical judgment or craftsmanship. Each case begins with a thorough review of the information provided by the practice, including digital impressions or scans, clinical photographs, bite records, and restorative goals. This data is carefully evaluated by experienced technicians to ensure the digital foundation accurately reflects the clinical reality before any design work begins.
Using advanced CAD platforms such as exocad DentalCAD, the design phase focuses on establishing proper anatomy, occlusion, emergence profiles, and restorative contours that align with the clinician’s treatment plan. Digital tools allow the team to visualize spatial relationships, adjust parameters with precision, and plan restorations that integrate seamlessly with surrounding dentition and soft tissue. Throughout this stage, Valley Dental Arts emphasizes communication and collaboration, refining designs as needed to support both functional and aesthetic objectives.
Once the digital design is finalized, CAD data flows directly into the manufacturing phase, where it guides milling or 3D printing processes with exacting accuracy. Digital consistency ensures restorations are produced according to the approved design, reducing variability and supporting predictable outcomes. However, technology does not mark the end of the workflow. Every restoration is reviewed, adjusted, and refined by a skilled technician who evaluates fit, contacts, occlusion, surface texture, and aesthetic detail to ensure it meets Valley Dental Arts’ quality standards.
This combination of digital precision and hands-on expertise allows Valley Dental Arts to maintain tight tolerances while preserving the nuance that only experienced technicians can provide. CAD technology supports efficiency, repeatability, and communication, while human oversight ensures restorations function properly, look natural, and integrate smoothly into the patient’s oral environment. By balancing advanced digital workflows with decades of restorative experience, Valley Dental Arts delivers results that support confident clinical delivery and long-term restorative success.
Valley Dental Arts leverages exocad DentalCAD Software as a core part of its digital workflow to remain at the forefront of restorative design. By utilizing DentalCAD’s flexible, open architecture, our team is able to design highly customized restorations, adapt quickly to evolving clinical protocols, and collaborate seamlessly with a wide range of digital inputs and planning systems. This platform allows our technicians to combine advanced digital precision with experienced restorative judgment, supporting efficient workflows, accurate outcomes, and continued innovation across both routine and complex cases.

The lab, Valley Dental Arts, is crucial in the pre-planning stage. The natural beauty, being able to create that, is imperative to this kind of work. There's ten, fifteen colors that go into this very thin porcelain chip, and the craftsmanship and artistry that goes behind it, it's just incredible how they do it. So without a lab like Valley Dental Arts, I wouldn't be able to do it.
