CEREC®
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means that we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using a durable ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth in your mouth. And these tooth colored fillings mean that you no longer have to be embarrassed by the discoloration and cracking caused by amalgam fillings.
Using a special camera, we take a picture of the tooth. We work from this photo, which is actually a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth. Computer aided design technology helps us design the restoration from the optical impression. Then computer aided manufacturing creates an extremely precise restoration, using a high-speed diamond bur and a disk working simultaneously to mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material. Finally, we bond the newly milled restoration to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
