CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” It is a computer-assisted design and manufacturing system for dentists. It uses a combination of modern technology to create tooth restorations in a dentist’s office, all within a single visit. CEREC utilizes a camera, computer, and milling instrument to get the job done better and quicker than ever before.
What does this have to do with you? Good question! At Perfect-A-Smile Dental Group, we value our patients’ time but want to provide the best quality care. With technology like CEREC, we can not only restore or enhance your teeth much faster, but we can do so in a way that is safe and long-lasting.
We use the CEREC system to repair damaged or unsightly teeth. If you are unhappy with your smile and are looking for a solution that won’t require several visits to the dentist’s office, you are in luck. There are several advantages to using CEREC technology, including:
CEREC is a remarkable technology for many reasons, but one of the most impressive features is the many restorations that can be designed and created with it. At Perfect-A-Smile, we use CEREC technology for the following restorations.
CEREC inlay restorations can help stabilize and strengthen your tooth after decay is treated and removed. With CEREC materials, you are not only left with a stronger tooth, but a better-looking one as well.
We use CEREC inlay restorations to create a smooth, tooth-colored replacement for amalgam fillings that are often lost to cavities. And thanks to this technology, CEREC inlays match your tooth’s structure and color.
Many patients have a hard time with silver amalgam restorations because they don’t like the way their crowns look and they often need to be replaced because of recurrent decay. CEREC onlays are a great alternative because they allow us to keep the original structure of your tooth while creating a much more natural look. The material of CEREC onlays looks and feels just like a real tooth.
Typically, a traditional dental crown will take up to three appointments to replace after a filling is lost. CEREC crowns, however, only need one visit to install and look and feel just like a real tooth.
If you are self-conscious about the size or color of your teeth, CEREC veneers are a great restoration option that can be completed in just one visit.
