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.
