What is CEREC?
CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” Using a Computer-Assisted Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system, this 3D advanced technology uses ultimate precision and accuracy to create and design custom dental restorations, including dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and dental bridges. Apart from the technology’s ability to quickly fabricate these creations, one of the great benefits of CEREC technology is that everything is completed in one visit to our office.
If you think it’s impossible, it’s not! In fact, a highly trained practitioner will ensure the technology is used correctly to craft your customized dental crown so that you are pleased with the final result.
How Does it Work?
Using a CEREC computer, Dr. Holinbeck will capture an optical scan of the tooth in question. This eliminates the need to use messy, cold dental putty to create an impression, and instead, offers patients a cleaner, more comfortable experience.
The scan is then used to allow the dentist to design the crown in a way that will align with your smile and offer complete coverage and protection over your natural tooth.
The final step is to send the newly created design to a milling machine, which will have the specified material already set up to begin fabricating the final restoration. From its size, shape, and color, it will match the rest of your natural smile, blending in beautifully.
Benefits of CEREC Technology
- Convenience: Traditional methods require patients to wear a temporary crown while the permanent one is being created in a lab. With CEREC technology, there is no need for a temporary. Instead, it’s created in-house, allowing you to have more time spent out of the dentist chair taking care of other personal and professional obligations.
- Greater comfort: Digital scans make it possible to avoid cold, messy dental putty. At one time, this was the only way to capture impressions, but it left patients with a bad taste in their mouth. Now, with the help of technology, Dr. Holinbeck can take more precise scans, making it possible to craft a custom restoration that fits like a glove.
- Biocompatibility: As adentist, Dr. Holinbeck cares about the materials used to create restorations, and so do you! By having this type of technology in the office, you can feel confident and comfortable knowing the material is ideally compatible with your overall health.
- Improved quality: Technology has made it possible for dentists to achieve greater accuracy when performing procedures. This serves to improve the fit of your dental restoration when it’s placed.
- Faster healing: Without a temporary crown to wear, patients can heal faster and experience less soreness and sensitivity.
- Conservative treatment: If you’re worried about the natural structure of your tooth, with CEREC technology, it is possible to keep more of it than a traditional dental crown. Although inlays and onlays require the least amount of altering to your regular tooth, CEREC is still a better solution for patients needing dental crowns who don’t want to lose most of their regular teeth.
