The Ins and Outs of CEREC Restorations | Riverside Dentist
When thinking about a smile makeover, dental restorations may be a necessary part of your treatment plans. If this is the case, your dental professional may suggest CEREC dental restorations. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? It really isn’t, but it is truly revolutionary. Not only because they will improve your smile and make them look natural, but they can be created in a single appointment. You heard it correctly – CEREC restoratives save you time in the dental chair. Unfamiliar? Here’s a quick rundown…
CEREC® or Ceramic Reconstruction is a method used by thousands of dentists since 1987 not only to replace old fillings, but also to restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, broken, etc. to its natural strength and beauty. CEREC® allows our doctors to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic restorations, saving patients time and inconvenience.
A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings or discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive, and plaque-resistant. We no longer need to create temporaries or take impressions and send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second visit has been eliminated.
When you visit the dentist, your tooth requiring a CEREC® restoration is prepared and a 3D photograph is taken of the prepared tooth. From there, we use computer-aided design CAD software to create the restoration digitally. 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.
