CEREC is a revolutionary way to restore damaged teeth in
a single visit. Repairing teeth can be extremely
complicated. The traditional restoration can take
several visits, requiring impressions and temporary
restorations.
First
and foremost, the restoration can be performed in a
single session, ususally in about one hour. With CEREC
there's 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. 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.

Key Benefits
CEREC porcelain is very tooth-like. It is
smoother than traditional porcelains and does
not cause as much wear to the opposing teeth.
CEREC restorations are more conservative
than traditional crowns. More of the natural
tooth structure is retained with this new
technology.
CEREC restorations are bonded to the tooth.
This reduces sensitivity and strengthens the
tooth. Most traditional crowns are cemented with
glues that can "wash away" in time.
X-rays penetrate CEREC porcelain so the
dentist can see problems, if they develop, down
the road. It is difficult to see what is
happening under traditional metal or
porcelain-to-metal crowns with dental X-rays.
First, the tooth is prepared for the inlay,
onlay or crown. Then we apply a thin layer of
reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface.
Using a special camera, we then take a picture of
the tooth. We 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 the optical
impression. You can actually watch us design your
new restoration on a full-color computer monitor
right before your eyes!
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.
Crowns function and
feel like your natural teeth and their care should be
the same which includes brushing, flossing and routine
dental cleanings and
examinations.
