CEREC

CEREC allows us to produce a ceramic restoration using a variety of computer assisted technologies including 3D photography and CAD/CAM. The restoration of a tooth, (or teeth), can be performed in a single sitting! The cavity preparation is first photographed and stored as a three dimensional digital model and proprietary software is then used to approximate the restoration shape. We then refine that model using 3D CAD software. When the model is complete, a milling machine carves the actual restoration out of a ceramic block using diamond head cutters under computer control. When complete, the restoration is bonded to the tooth using a resin.
