CEREC

We are pleased to offer our patients CEREC restoration services, a superior method of creating precisely-designed, color-matched and highly durable ceramic restorations, right here in our practice. Instead of having the lab prepare a crown or onlay that needs to be seated two weeks later, we can now deliver the results you need in a single appointment.

Before

After

DIGITAL IMPRESSION
After examining the tooth and determining the course of treatment, we will prepare your tooth for restoration, very similar to the traditional crown preparation. Your prepared tooth will be coated with a safe, tasteless powder. CEREC� then uses a state-of-the-art digital 3D camera to create an optical impression. This digital image replaces the physical impression required in traditional procedures. No more long waits while a tray of gooey impression material sets up in your mouth.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD)
State-of-the-art CAD software allows us to design every precise detail of your restoration with the accuracy you've come to expect from us. The software allows us to customize the shape of the restoration to exactly fit your specific clinical needs.

MILL AND PLACE
While you wait, exact design specifications are sent to our on-site milling machine to create your restoration. About 15 minutes later, your all-ceramic, color-matched restoration is ready for placement. Your new restoration is then fitted, polished and bonded for permanence. Your tooth is restored back to its natural form, function and beauty.
