What advantages does CEREC offer me?

• The restoration can be performed in a single session, usually in about one hour.
• No need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab, so we wont inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit.
• The restoration is made of tooth-colored ceramic material therefore it's natural looking.
• 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.
• Allows extreme precision so we can save more of the healthy part of your tooth.

How does CEREC work?

• First, we prepare the damaged tooth by applying 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 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. A high-speed diamond bur and a disk 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.
• Over a decade of clinical research and experience supports the CEREC technology.
• User input and research have helped the manufacturer improve the product during this time.
• Dentists have performed over four million restorations worldwide.
