CEREC

​

CEREC is an advanced dental restorative system that allows our dentists to restore decayed teeth, place crowns, remove defective amalgam fillings, or place cosmetic veneers in just one appointment. This allows you to have the highest quality, most lifelike dental restorations in just one visit to the dentist. 

Chairside CAD/CAM restoration differs from conventional dentistry in that the restoration is typically bonded the same day. Conventional restorations, such as crowns, have temporaries placed from one to several weeks while a dental laboratory or in house dental lab produces the restoration. The patient returns later to have the temporaries removed and the laboratory-made crown cemented or bonded in place. An in-house CAD/CAM system enables the dentist to create a finished product in as little as an hour in some cases. Bonded veneer CAD/CAM restorations are more conservative in their preparation of the tooth. As bonding is more effective on tooth enamel than the underlying dentin, care is taken not to remove the enamel layer.
