CEREC
CEREC
No Temporary.
No Messy
Impressions.
One Easy Appointment.
CEREC
is an advanced dental technology that is utilized for the restoration of decayed,
cracked, or chipped teeth. CEREC can create full crowns, inlays,
onlays, and veneers. The CEREC machine crafts a restoration in a matter
of minutes. CEREC restorations are made of compressed porcelain. The
most beneficial feature of receiving a CEREC restoration is that it is
accomplished in one visit. In addition to the benefit of a one visit restoration, there
is no uncomfortable impression material to bite on or temporary to
wear.
Procedure
The procedure for placement of a
CEREC restoration is very simple. The first step is to remove all decay
from the tooth. The doctor will then shape the tooth in preparation to take a digital
picture. The tooth is then sprayed with a very fine powder. This allows the digital
camera to take an acceptable image. Once this image is captured, the tooth will appear
on a computer screen in 3D. This will allow the doctor to design the restoration right
in front of you. Once the design is completed, the CEREC will mill the
restoration. This step takes approximately 15 minutes. You can actually watch this
process if you would like. When the restoration is finished milling, the doctor will
place the restoration. The entire process should take just over an hour.
