Whether you’re dealing with a broken tooth or need a replacement crown, CEREC makes it possible to walk in with a problem and walk out with a beautifully restored smile.
Let’s explore how this innovative technology works and why it’s a game-changer for modern dentistry.
What Is CEREC Dental Technology?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In simpler terms, it’s a cutting-edge dental system that enables us to design, fabricate, and place high-quality ceramic restorations—all within a single dental visit.
Instead of waiting weeks for a lab-made crown and dealing with messy impressions and temporary crowns, CEREC streamlines the entire process using digital precision and on-site milling technology.
How Does CEREC Work?
Here’s what you can expect during your CEREC appointment at Smiles Above The Rest:
- Digital Impressions – No Goop!: We begin by taking a 3D digital scan of your tooth using an advanced intraoral camera. This step is fast, clean, and far more comfortable than traditional molds.
- CAD/CAM Design: Using the scan, we create a highly accurate digital model of your new restoration with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. The result is a perfectly customized solution that fits your bite and natural tooth structure.
- On-Site Milling: Once the design is complete, our Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system mills your crown or restoration from a solid block of premium ceramic—right here in our office.
- Placement and Polishing: After verifying the fit, we bond the restoration in place, polish it, and ensure your bite is perfectly aligned. No temporary crowns. No return visits. Just a gorgeous, functional smile in one day
