If you are looking to repair your smile, CEREC may be an appropriate choice for enhancing your teeth. The porcelain that is used for the CEREC crowns gives you a desired color and transmits light through your crowns, which allows for a natural look. With recent advancements in dentistry, CEREC has made restoration even easier. With the ability to receive crowns in one simple visit, you can gain the confidence and smile you have been missing without multiple appointments. Using computer aided technology, your dentist can now take a picture of your tooth before and during evaluation, eliminating the need for temporary crowns between procedures. How CEREC Works to Restore Damaged Teeth With the CEREC system, your cosmetic dentist in Fort Wayne can create beautiful life-like porcelain restorations for your front teeth. An infrared camera takes images of your tooth after shaping. A CAD CAM computer program immediately downloads the images of your teeth to create a three-dimensional virtual model that can be viewed and manipulated on the computer monitor. CEREC, which stands for Ceramic Reconstruction, is a recent innovation that many cosmetic dentists are using to provide natural looking crowns faster than traditional crown procedures. This is a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, or CAD-CAM, for the creation of your crown. This crown is created by a computer to fit your tooth perfectly. The computer aided technology eliminates the laboratory step in manufacturing your crown, which allows for your treatment to be completed in one visit. Advantages of CEREC One of the main benefits of CEREC crowns is that they are fabricated in a single visit, which saves time for you, as well as your dentist. There is no need for a temporary crown between procedures, which eliminates the potential discomfort that would normally be associated with the temporary crown. CEREC crowns also do not contain any metal, allowing them to be esthetically pleasing and natural looking. CEREC crowns are also beneficial for your tooth restoration for these reasons: * Less time is spent in the dental chair
* Less tooth structure is lost in many cases
* CEREC crowns are made of all porcelain
* Less chance for complications
* CEREC is environmentally friendly A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings that discolor your smile. Instead, the filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque resistant. Dentists no longer need to create temporaries or take impressions to send to an outside lab. The restorations from CEREC have been proven precise, safe and effective. With CEREC crowns, you can have a fully restored, natural-looking crown made in one simple visit without a messy impression, or temporary crowns!
