CEREC, or Ceramic Reconstruction, is a state-of-the-art method for repairing teeth damaged by disease, decay, or injury. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), a skilled dental professional uses digital scanning to capture the treatment area and then creates the restoration on-site using a milling machine. This streamlined process is not only time-efficient but also provides a well-fitting, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting restoration.
CEREC for Various Dental Restorations
Anyone needing dental reconstruction on an existing tooth may be a good candidate for CEREC. The technology can be used for various procedures, including crowns, bridges, and porcelain veneers. CEREC is particularly attractive to patients who want to minimize time spent in the dental chair. Traditional restorations require multiple visits: one to take impressions and another to place the restoration once it has been fabricated in a lab. With CEREC, all these steps are completed in a single visit, saving you valuable time and effort.
The CEREC Procedure: Fast, Precise, and Natural
If you’re a candidate for ceramic reconstruction, your CEREC-trained dentist will take a 3D image of your tooth to ensure a precise fit for the restoration. The CEREC machine will then create a custom-made, permanent restoration that matches the natural appearance of your smile. These restorations are durable, long-lasting, and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing both comfort and excellent function.
