CEREC Restorative Technique

“Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic”

Single-Visit Restorative Dentistry

CEREC by Sirona Dental System is the world’s only system for the fabrication of all-ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC at your dentist’s side, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all-ceramic crown or onlay! For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care. This is why thousands of people worldwide are choosing the CEREC restorative technique for their dental needs.

Most traditional dental restorative methods require more than one visit to the dentist. This means that on the first visit, you get an injection of anesthesia, your tooth prepared, an impression taken, and a temporary restoration put on your tooth; you make a second appointment for a couple of weeks later, get another injection, have the temporary pried off (if it hasn’t fallen off already), and have a permanent restoration put on. Why go to the dentist a second time when you don’t have to? With CEREC, the procedure is done in a single appointment, start to finish.

The Finest Dental Materials

A CEREC tooth restoration isn’t just convenient, it is also healthy.  Years ago, dentists had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals.  With CEREC, your dentist uses strong, tooth-colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function.  These materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure - this means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration & tooth expand and contract at nearly equal rates, so your tooth does not crack.  Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so your dentist can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.

Smile Enhancement

Your dentist can use CEREC for more than just crowns and fillings.  CEREC is capable of producing any single tooth restoration. Chipped or discolored front teeth can be repaired with beautiful CEREC crowns or veneers. Your smile makes a lasting first impression. Worldwide, a CEREC restoration is placed every 20 seconds!  With a history of over 20 years, this equipment has helped dentists place over 6 million restorations. Using metal-free materials that are the closest to your natural enamel, CEREC gives you the highest quality restorative care. Ask your dentist today about single visit CEREC restorative care!
