Cutting-edge innovation in dental instruments are requiring less time in the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating satisfying results. One breakthrough instrument, called CEREC®, allows us to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings, saving patients time and convenience.
CEREC® stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Defining that we can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth.
CEREC® uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. Using a special camera, is taking an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This optical impression (No need for impression) is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where we use CAD technology to design the restoration. Then, CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, we bond the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth.
Over a decade, CEREC® has provided of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective. If you are interested in CEREC®, please contact us today, we will be happy to answer your questions regarding this new technology.
