CEREC

What is CEREC?

CEREC is a modern alternative to restoring damaged and defective crowns and fillings.  By taking digital impressions with CAD/CAM technology, your dentist is able to fabricate beautiful long lasting restorations in a single visit rather than the multiple sittings required with traditional techniques.

Why CEREC?

• Protects and preserves your own tooth's structural integrity
• Ceramics are bio-compatible
• Perfect looks
• Perfect comfort
• Perfect quality
• Long lasting and durable

Fillings (inlays/onlays)

First the decay and old filing(s) is removed, then digital impressions are taken and your porcelain tooth/teeth is fabricated in the milling unit while you wait. 

Crowns

For the more heavily compromised teeth, a traditional treatment has been a crown restoration, which can take several separate appointments.  Using the CEREC method, crown restorations are completed in a single appointment.  No impressions, no temporary crowns and no need for a second injection.  The treatment time of one to two hours is normal.
