CEREC® Same Day Crowns

The landscape of dental procedures has been forever transformed by Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC®). Traditionally, the need for crowns, onlays, inlays, or dental veneers to restore damaged teeth entailed multiple procedures and considerable waiting periods in between. However, CEREC® has revolutionized this process by crafting these ceramic restorations right in the dental office within a matter of minutes. As a result, numerous treatments can now be swiftly completed in a single visit.

The foundation of CEREC® is built upon an array of computer-assisted design (CAD) tools and an advanced milling machine that seamlessly fabricates personalized ceramic restorative devices. The applications of CEREC® extend to a broad spectrum of individuals in need of ceramic restorations, making it particularly advantageous for patients with dental anxiety. Beyond its convenience, CEREC® also holds the potential to reduce the overall cost of treatment, making it an approachable option for many.

How Can CEREC® Benefit Me?

CEREC® offers benefits to a wide range of individuals seeking ceramic restorations. While it is a valuable option for most, there are a few exceptions to consider. Patients who have a history of breaking ceramic restorations or those with a deep bite might not be suitable candidates for CEREC® restorations due to specific factors related to their dental structure.

Additional advantages associated with CEREC® include:

  • No temporary restorations
  • High-quality ceramic products
  • Minimal invasiveness
  • Less injections and discomfort
  • Fewer dental visits
  • Cost effectiveness
  • More natural tooth is saved
  • Long lasting restorations
  • Biocompatible solutions

What Is The CEREC® System Comprised Of?

The CEREC® System, often referred to as a CAD-CAM system, combines the power of Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Milling. Comprising three key components, the CEREC® system delivers a comprehensive solution for efficient dental restorations:

–Acquisition Device: This unit houses a high-quality camera and a medical-grade computer. Its primary function involves capturing images of the prepared tooth. Through these images, three-dimensional representations of the tooth are generated on the screen. This visual information serves as the foundation for the dentist to meticulously design the optimal ceramic restoration.

–Three-Dimensional CAD Software: This sophisticated software empowers the dentist to thoroughly assess the tooth from every angle. It offers an immersive experience akin to holding the actual tooth and rotating it manually, providing an in-depth perspective for precise design.

–Milling Device: Responsible for actualizing the custom restoration, the milling device transforms the specifications input into the computer into reality. A ceramic block closely resembling the natural color of the tooth is carefully selected and inserted into the unit. Within a matter of minutes, the milling device materializes the restoration that the dentist meticulously designed.

In essence, the CEREC® System embodies a seamless convergence of advanced imaging, design, and manufacturing technologies, culminating in swift and precise dental restorations.
