If your tooth experiences severe trauma or deep decay, you may need more than a regular filling. Inlays, onlays, and crowns can stabilize a damaged tooth and restore its integrity. Typically, it takes two appointments to receive your custom restoration. Thanks to CEREC technology, patients can have their inlays, onlays, and crowns created and place in one appointment.
What is CEREC?
A type of CAD/CAM machine that mills restorations from ceramic materials, CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This system uses 3-D imaging to generate an image of the damaged tooth and produce a design for the restoration. Your dentist will input specific details and then program the unit to mill your new inlay, onlay, or crown.
How long does it take for the CEREC restoration?
The actual length of time for your appointment depends on the number of restorations you need, but the average is about 1.5 hours.
Will my CEREC restorations look good?
By choosing an experienced, talented dentist, you can ensure that your CEREC inlay, onlay, or crown is a high-quality, attractive restoration.
Why should I consider CEREC?
The biggest advantage to the CEREC restorations is that you can save the extra time and additional costs associated with traditional dental repairs. With CEREC, you won’t need a second appointment, and the laboratory charges are usually decreased because the restoration is created in your dentist’s office, not in an outside facility.
