The CEREC Process

After preparing the damaged tooth, we apply a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth surface. Using a special camera, we then take a picture of the tooth. We work from this photo, which is an extremely sharp optical impression of the tooth.


Computer Aided Design technology helps us design the restoration from this optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new restoration on a full-color computer monitor right before your eyes!

The CEREC Process

Then CEREC creates an extremely precise restoration. Two high-speed diamond burs 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 User input and research have helped the manufacturer improve the product during this time. Dentists have performed over four million restorations worldwide.

State of the Art Restorations in One Visit

 

 

CEREC means we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using a durable ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth in your mouth.

 

 

First and foremost, the restoration can be performed in a one visit, usually in about one hour. With CEREC theres no need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab. We won't inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit.

Secondly, the restoration is natural looking, because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. Its metal-free with 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.
