What Is CEREC?
CEREC stands for CHAIRSIDE ECONOMICAL RESTORATIONS of ESTHETIC CERAMICS. CEREC is an exciting system that takes care of high-quality, custom restorations in one convenient appointment. On-site and at your convenience we can make restorations of comparable strength and aesthetics as your natural teeth, faster, easier, and accomodate with its low-low cost. CEREC utilizes 3D digital imaging and leading-edge milling technology to design and manufacture your new teeth. Your new tooth is created and bonded in your mouth, all in one visit.
How Does CEREC Work?
CEREC streamlines the entire tooth restoration process, which used to take multiple appointments and trips to the dental lab. Here’s how the process works:
Digital Impressions:
During your appointment, our doctors will take digital impressions of your teeth with a special scanner. There are no impression materials or uncomfortable molds, just quick and accurate digital impressions.
Custom Design:
Once the digital impressions are taken, our team will use the latest in CEREC software to design your custom restoration. Once you view the 3D images of your teeth on the screen, we can then create a restoration that fits your unique anatomy.
Milling Process:
Once the design is approved, we send the data to our in-house milling machine to create your restoration out of a block of high strength ceramic material. The milling process only takes a few minutes and in the end you have a beautiful high strength restoration that look, feels, and acts like your own tooth.
Bonding:
Once the restoration is completed, it will be bonded to your tooth with dental adhesive. Our doctors will then check that your restoration fits as it should, and is seamless to your smile. The best part of CEREC is you are done in one appointment and leave with a fully restored tooth.
Convenience of One Appointment:
The best part of CEREC is that this procedure is performed completely in one visit. There are no multiple appointments, no temporary crowns, and no follow-up visits. You can come in with a broken tooth and leave with a fully restored smile in one single day.
Natural Results:
CEREC uses high-quality ceramic materials to restore your teeth and closely resembles natural teeth. All of your restorations are metal-free, so you will blend in nicely with your surrounding teeth and actually get a great esthetic result.
Durability/Strength:
The high strength ceramic materials used to make restorations for CEREC are as strong as some of the best porcelain crowns you can get on the market. They withstand the forces of chewing and everyday wear. CEREC restorations are extremely durable when proper care is followed, and can last many years.
Comfort of Digital Impressions:
There is never the need with CEREC to use traditional impression materials, which can be uncomfortable and messy. The digital scanner is fast with accurate impressions and none of the headache of traditional methods.
Cost Efficient:
CEREC eliminates the need of temporary crowns, as well as multiple office visits…thus reducing the time and cost of your treatment. You will spend less time from work or family, and you will spend less because of what we have stated about the efficiency of procedure and less time involved overall.
The advantages of CEREC
CEREC technology comes with many great benefits when compared to the traditional means of restoring teeth:
What Treatments Can CEREC Technology Provide?
CEREC technology is highly versatile and can provide a broad range of dental restorations. Some of the restorations that can be completed using CEREC are:
Crowns:
CEREC crowns are custom-designed crowns that replaces form and function to a tooth due to damage or decay. You can have a strong and aesthetic crown in one appointment to the dentist with a CEREC crown!
Inlays and Onlays:
Inlays and onlays are used when a tooth has been damaged too severely for a filling, but does not require a whole crown. CEREC inlays and onlays will fit accurately and restore normal tooth anatomy and function.
Veneers:
CEREC veneers are porcelain shells that are cusomized to cover the front of teeth. Each veneer would improve not only the aesthetics of a smile, but also the function. Most patients seek veneers for aesthetic defects, chips, discoloration, or spaces.
Bridges:
CEREC has the ability to design and fabricate dental bridges, which will replace one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are anchored by the adjacent teeth (natural teeth or dental implants).
