What is CEREC Crown Technology?

CEREC stands for Chairside Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC technology can provide you with a porcelain restoration in minutes, rather than having to wait weeks and return to the dentist multiple times.

Today, almost everyone has a filling that is made of amalgam or some other material that does not match the natural color of your teeth. CEREC gives you the possibility of having your next dental restoration permanently corrected in just one visit to our office.

During your CEREC dental restoration, your teeth will be examined to determine which treatment option will best provide you with the results you need. If CEREC restoration is recommended, your tooth will be prepared for the restoration and a 3D optical scan of your tooth will be taken. This high-resolution optical scan will be used to create a ceramic restoration that perfectly fits your tooth, and is a color and size match to the rest of your teeth.

In about 15 minutes, the CEREC milling machine will sculpt your ceramic restoration from a block of dental porcelain. Once the restoration has been tested for proper fit and so that it does not hinder with your bite, it is permanently bonded to your tooth. The finished result is a ceramic restoration that looks and feels just like the rest of your teeth.
