CEREC

At our dental clinic, we are proud to offer cutting-edge CEREC technology to our patients, ensuring high-quality, efficient, and convenient dental treatments. Our commitment to incorporating the latest advancements in dental care allows us to provide superior service and outcomes. This page is dedicated to explaining our CEREC dental treatment process, from evaluation through recovery, to help you understand the benefits and what to expect when you choose us for your dental needs.

What is CEREC?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary dental technology that enables us to create custom-fitted ceramic restorations in just a single visit. This state-of-the-art equipment uses CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology to design and mill precise dental restorations. CEREC technology is ideal for creating onlays, inlays, crowns, and veneers, providing a durable, aesthetic, and biocompatible solution to meet your dental restoration needs.

 

Advantages of CEREC

CEREC technology offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Time Efficiency: Complete your dental restoration in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
  • Precision and Comfort: Digital impressions are more accurate and comfortable than traditional dental molds.
  • Durability: Ceramic restorations are strong, long-lasting, and less prone to wear and tear than traditional materials.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The ceramic materials used match the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.

The Evaluation Stage

Initial Consultation

Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of your dental health. During this initial consultation, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your specific needs. Our team takes the time to discuss your dental goals and explain how CEREC technology can be tailored to meet those objectives.

Digital Impressions

Instead of traditional dental impressions, which can be uncomfortable, we utilize a state-of-the-art digital scanning device. This device captures detailed images of your teeth and gums, providing a precise foundation for your restoration design. Digital impressions not only enhance comfort but also significantly improve the accuracy of the final restoration.

Designing Your Restoration

With the digital impressions as our guide, we use CEREC’s CAD/CAM software to design your custom restoration. This process allows for meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that your restoration fits perfectly and meets your aesthetic expectations.

Milling and Placement

Once the design is finalized, the CEREC milling unit carves your restoration from a ceramic block. This process is remarkably fast, often taking less than 20 minutes. After milling, we test the fit of the restoration and make any necessary adjustments. The ceramic is then polished and bonded to your tooth, completing the restoration. The entire process, from design to placement, is completed in a single visit, allowing you to leave our clinic with a restored smile.

Immediate Results

One of the most significant advantages of CEREC restorations is the minimal recovery time. Since the entire procedure is completed in one visit without the need for temporary restorations, you can immediately enjoy the benefits of your new smile.

Caring for Your Restoration

Caring for your CEREC restoration is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health and longevity of your restoration. Although CEREC ceramics are highly durable, avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools can help extend the life of your restoration.

Follow-Up

We recommend a follow-up visit after your treatment to ensure that your restoration is functioning as intended and that you are completely satisfied with the result. Our team is committed to providing ongoing support and advice to help you maintain optimal dental health.
