What is CEREC?

CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, is a dental system that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to create dental restorations in one visit. The CEREC system combines a camera, computer, and milling instrument into one machine to create custom fillings, crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, fixed bridges, dental implants, dentures, and orthodontic appliances.

The CEREC Procedure

Getting a new dental crown or bridge in one day using CEREC® technology involves several key steps:

Examination and Preparation: We examine your teeth to determine if a CEREC crown or bridge is appropriate. Local anesthesia is administered, and any damaged or decayed tissue is removed to prepare the tooth.
Digital Impressions: A specialized camera captures detailed digital images of your teeth and gums, eliminating the need for traditional, messy impression materials.
Crown or Bridge Design: Using CAD/CAM software, the dentist designs the custom crown or bridge based on digital images. This ensures a precise fit and natural appearance.
Milling: The design is sent to the in-office CEREC milling machine, which creates the crown or bridge from a block of durable ceramic material in about 15 minutes.
Placement and Polishing: The dentist polishes the new crown or bridge and checks for proper alignment and fit. The crown or bridge is then securely cemented in place.
Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure the restoration functions correctly and provide care instructions.

This process offers several benefits, including completing the procedure in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns, and providing a natural-looking and durable restoration.
