Why Choose CEREC Technology for Dental Restorations?

Streamlined Process

Chairside economical restoration technology streamlines the restoration procedure, enabling patients to receive customized, high-quality restorations in a single dental visit. This efficiency minimizes disruption to their daily routines.

Enhanced Precision

The digital precision of CEREC ensures each restoration is tailored to the patient’s natural tooth structure. This accuracy contributes to a comfortable fit and superior functionality.

Aesthetically Pleasing Results

CEREC restorations not only restore the functionality of damaged teeth but also preserve their natural appearance. The tooth-colored ceramic closely resembles the natural teeth, ensuring a visually pleasing outcome.

How Does CEREC Work for Dental Restorations?

CEREC technology redefines the dental restoration process by merging cutting-edge digital imaging, computer-aided design (CAD), and precise milling to create efficient, customized restorations in a single appointment.

1. Digital Imaging: The process initiates with a 3D digital scan of the damaged tooth. Using a specialized camera, we capture detailed images, eliminating the need for messy impressions.
2. CAD Design: The captured images are translated into a 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This allows for meticulous customization, ensuring the restoration fits perfectly within your unique tooth structure.
3. Milling Process: Once the design is finalized, a milling machine carves the restoration from a solid ceramic block. This process, guided by the precise digital model, crafts a restoration tailored to your tooth’s specifications.
4. Immediate Placement: With the restoration ready within minutes, we immediately bond it to your tooth. This streamlined process ensures a precise fit, functionality, and aesthetic appeal in just one visit.
