What is CEREC®? | Riverside, CA Dentist
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. What’s so great about CEREC is it’s done with all-ceramic materials that are tooth colored in a single appointment!
CEREC®, allows our doctors to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic restorations, saving patients time and inconvenience.
CEREC® is the world’s only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC® you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all-ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer! For the patient this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.
What does this innovation mean for a patient?
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.
How does it work?
The tooth that requires 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.
Using a single block of porcelain that is color-matched to your current tooth 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.
