What Is CEREC?
CEREC is a CAD/CAM milling system used to fabricate beautiful and durable single-unit restorations for damaged teeth in just one visit to the dentist's office. The restorations are made with a metal-free lithium disilicated ceramic called e.max, which is compatible with the natural tissue in your mouth and is the strongest material for crowns.
We prioritize patient comfort and efficiency, delivering excellent results faster than traditional methods. Our advanced technology enables quick, safe, and painless procedures.
The CEREC Process
The doctor will explain the procedure and answer any questions you might have.
- A 3D intraoral scanner is used to capture detailed images of your tooth and bite
- Using CEREC’s software, a custom restoration is designed to fit your tooth perfectly
- The CEREC milling machine crafts your restoration from a durable block of e.max material
- The final restoration is bonded to your tooth using advanced adhesive techniques for a natural, long-lasting result
Why Choose CEREC?
Time
Unlike lab-made crowns, which require at least a two-week wait between your initial visit and final cementation, CEREC crowns are made in one visit, saving you a second trip, as well as half a month dealing with a weaker, less aesthetically natural-looking temporary crown.
Comfort
With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary crown, eliminating significant potential discomfort.
Aesthetics
The strong, tooth-colored ceramic material used with CEREC restores your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function, and closely matches the composition of your natural tooth structure.
Strength
Milled ceramic is stronger than the traditional method of layering and pressing, so your smile will stay beautiful for years!
Inlays & Onlays
CEREC material and technology can also be used for inlays and onlays, which are partial crowns placed on a larger area of decay where a filling is likely to fail. Since these are also made out of ceramic, they are more durable than white composite fillings.
