CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics)
Beautiful Results, One Visit!
Let your smile be a sign of happiness and good health! CEREC is a revolutionary way to restore damaged teeth in a single visit, making your teeth beautiful and stronger than before!
What advantages does CEREC offer me?
- CEREC can be performed in a single session, usually in about one hour
- With CEREC, there’s no need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab; therefore, we won’t inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit.
- A CEREC restoration is natural-looking because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. It’s metal-free — no silver fillings to discolor your smile!
- The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. It allows us to be extremely precise and save more of the healthy part of your tooth.
How does CEREC work?
We first prepare the damaged tooth by applying a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth’s surface. Then, using a special camera, we take a picture of the tooth. We will work from this photo, which is actually a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology helps us design the restoration from this optical impression. You can watch us design your new restoration on a monitor right before your eyes!
CEREC then creates an extremely precise restoration. A high-speed diamond bur and a disk work simultaneously to mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material. Finally, we bond the newly milled restoration to the tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
Over a decade of clinical research and experience supports the CEREC technology. Dentists have performed over four million CEREC restorations worldwide. To learn more, visit the official CEREC site at www.cerec.net.
