CEREC is a technology used to restore damaged teeth. This restorative method can be completed in a single visit to your dentist.
This restorative method can be completed in a single visit to your dentist. Your dentist will apply a thin layer of reflective powder on your tooth and then take a photo of your tooth using a special 3D imaging camera. Using the CEREC’s software, your restoration will be designed to cater to your tooth shape and function. A piece of ceramic will be created by CEREC technology which will be bonded to your tooth by an adhesive.
Before the restoration process, your tooth must be prepared to ensure a successful treatment. Your dentist will take pictures of the affected tooth using the CEREC imaging solution. These images are transposed onto a computer screen and your dentist will view the tooth from every angle to design the perfect restoration. Once the design is complete, it will be transmitted to the milling unit.
A block of ceramic that matches your tooth color will be inserted into the milling machine which will then create full crown, onlay or inlay. Your dentist will perform a dry fix before affixing the restoration to the tooth. Once a perfect fit is established, the restoration will be polished and put onto the tooth with a dental adhesive.
Here are some advantages of choosing CEREC over traditional crown technology:
