First, it is performed in a single session. There are no uncomfortable impressions to make; we don’t send anything away to a lab. You won't have to come back for a second appointment.
Second, the restoration looks natural, because the material is made of tooth colored ceramic. It’s metal-free–no silver fillings! The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. Because we can be extremely precise, we save more of the healthy part of your tooth.
First, we take an optical image photo of the tooth with a special camera. From this photo, we make an impression of the tooth.
Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology we design the restoration from the optical photo while you watch.
With CEREC, we can create a very precise restoration. Using a high-speed diamond bur and a disk we mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material and permanently bond it to your tooth.
CEREC technology has evolved and improved with over a decade of experience and research. Millions of restorations worldwide have been performed.
