NobelProcera

NobelProcera is a dental CAD/CAM prosthetics platform developed by Nobel Biocare. The brand encompasses a workflow and product family for fabricating all-ceramic restorations, including crowns, bridges, and partial frameworks, through computer-aided design and manufacturing.

The process typically involves digital scanning of prepared teeth or implants, computer-assisted design of the restoration, and milling from ceramic blanks in a centralized milling center or in-office unit. The resulting restorations are designed for precise fit and esthetics.

Materials used within the NobelProcera system include high-strength ceramics such as zirconia and lithium disilicate, chosen for biocompatibility and natural appearance. The platform supports multiple indications across anterior and posterior regions and is designed to integrate with standard dental workflows.

Impact and reception: NobelProcera contributed to the broader adoption of digital dentistry by standardizing fabrication steps and enabling predictable outcomes. Adoption varies by practice, with considerations including equipment investment, software licensing, training, and compatibility with dental laboratories and implant systems.

Corporate history: The NobelProcera line originated in Nobel Biocare's CAD/CAM initiatives and became part of the company's digital portfolio as industry consolidation occurred. The brand has been referenced in professional literature and trade publications as an example of early scalable dental CAM fabrication.
