Very few people have perfect teeth, free of decay and fillings. You may even see a filling or two in your own mouth. In many cases, the fillings you received years ago are probably made of metal material and can go bad, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay under or around it. CEREC is a method used by thousands of dentists worldwide since 1987 not only to replace fillings, but also to restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, or broken to its natural strength and beauty. CEREC is proven by hundreds of clinical studies and is offered by thousands of dentists to millions of patients around the world each year. With proven performance and unrivaled success, CEREC has become the number one dental CAD/CAM choice for over 28 years. Utilizing all-ceramic materials that are tooth colored in a single appointment, CEREC is shown to be the best choice for dental restorations. What is CEREC? CEREC, standing for Chairside Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, can provide you with a number of porcelain restorations in just minutes, rather than having to wait weeks and return to the dental office multiple times. During a CEREC dental restoration, your teeth will be examined to determine what treatment will best provide the results you desire. If CEREC restoration is recommended, your tooth will be prepared for the restoration you are receiving and an optical impression of your tooth will be made. This high-resolution impression will be used to fabricate a ceramic restoration that perfectly fits your tooth and matches the rest of your teeth. CEREC technology can be used to create the following: • Inlays
• Onlays
• Posterior crowns
• Anterior crowns
• Partial crowns
• Veneers Benefits of Restoration with CEREC The benefits of CEREC are numerous and include: • Made in one visit, saving considerable time for the patients and also saving time for the dentist.
• There is no need for a temporary crown, which eliminates a significant potential for discomfort.
• CEREC crowns have no metal in them, and thus are reasonably esthetic.
• CEREC material and technology can also be used for fillings. Since they are made out of porcelain, they are more durable than white composite fillings. The best part of CEREC treatment is that it can be performed in a single visit in as little as half an hour, unlike conventional dental restorations which require multiple visits and a temporary filling. With CEREC, you get the freedom you need from uncomfortable drilling, while saving your time from lengthy and frequent visits to the dentist. The procedure does not weaken your tooth root and surrounding tissues because it is chemically affixed to your tooth and gums. With CEREC crowns, you can have a fully restored, natural-looking crown made in one simple visit without a messy impression, or temporary crowns! If you are in need of dental restoration with crowns, contact your Rochester Hills dentist for more information on how CEREC works and find out if it is a good solution for your smile.
