The CEREC Procedure
CEREC by Sirona is a dental procedure in which a full or partial dental crown or porcelain filling is created in just one visit. That means no more temporary crowns and lengthy waits while your permanent crown is fabricated in a dental lab. We do the whole treatment from start to finish while you are in the office. Very often your new permanent CEREC crown will be delivered in as little as 1 hour.
HOW IT WORKS
The tooth that requires a CEREC restoration are prepared and a 3D photograph is taken of the prepared tooth/teeth. From there we use computer aided design CAD software where the restoration is digitally created.
Using a single block of porcelain that is color matched to your current tooth/teeth shade the digitally designed restoration is sent to a milling machine where your restoration is cut. The milling process usually takes about 15 minutes per restoration.
Once the restoration is finished being milled it is fitted onto the prepared tooth and adjusted until the bite is accurate.
This procedure is great for crowns, veneers and the replacement of old fillings to give you the longest lasting best looking restorations.
