  The only question is that of materials - and since CNC can work with a wider of materials ,which are both very strong, bio compatible, and dentists have decades of usage of them in the industry - it seems that for now the CNC will win - although dentists could surely use more affordable cnc machines, since last i've hears those machines cost at least $50K.

  'Anatomic' dental implants are available now: http://bioimplant.at http://bioimplant.at Since they're milled from blocks of zirconia (with a consistency similar to hard chalk), they have to be sintered for several hours; typically, overnight. No way to do this in mere minutes!
