What is CEREC ® and how does it work?

CEREC ® is an in-house CAD/CAM technology. This system includes a digital infrared camera which is used to get an optical impression of your damaged tooth.

The 3D impression of the damaged tooth is then used in a CAD software, to design the restoration. Finally, a dental milling unit using CAM technology will mill the new restoration. All this can be done in 60 to 90 minutes during your visit.

Once the milling of the restoration is completed, your dentist will fix it in place and cement it. The final result is a restoration that is fast, clean and permanent.

What are the benefits of CEREC ® ?

• Same day restorations eliminates the need for multiple visits and temporary fixtures
• The use of CAD/CAM technology and 3D scanning eliminates the need to use a tray of impression material which in some cases causes a gagging effect
• CEREC ® restorations are strong and look completely natural
