CEREC - Computer Designed Porcelain Restorations

Many people fear their semi-yearly trips to the dentist. The prospect of a cavity and the dreaded reality of a filling weigh heavily on many minds. Add in the possible need for a crown or veneer to repair damaged teeth, the dental visit quickly goes to the bottom of the to-do list.

Thankfully, innovation in dentistry has made tooth restoration easier, more convenient, more accurate and overall less worrisome for patients. CEREC technology provides for on-site creation of natural looking ceramic fillings – in a single visit. A digital camera is used to take an optical impression of the damaged tooth, design the appropriate restoration using CAD software and mill-tooth colored ceramic on-site in about 15 minutes. There’s no need for a temporary and return visit. From tooth preparation to placement and bonding, a patient can have his or her smile in less than an hour!
