CEREC DENTISTRY ALLOWS US TO PERFORM SAME DAY DENTISTRY

CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This high-tech equipment allows us to restore damaged or discolored teeth and restorations with beautiful custom crowns, onlays and inlays in a single visit. Using this technique eliminates the need for impressions, temporaries and multiple visits in your busy schedule. The system uses 3D photography for optical impressions (no more goop) and computer assisted design/computer assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM). The 3D image generated by the camera produces a virtual model on the computer. From this model a restoration is designed to the exact specifications of your tooth for exceptional fit, function and esthetics. Following this design, an in-office milling machine creates a metal free restoration from a block of porcelain. It is then fitted, stained and glazed to a high glossy finish and bonded in the same day! No reason to return two weeks later and no temporaries that can come out. The results are extremely esthetic and durable and have been in use for 25 years.
