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.
