CEREC® restorations give your restored tooth a more natural match to the rest of your teeth, and can help preserve the healthy part of that tooth.
And better yet, CEREC® restorations do not contain any metal – which is not only safer for your mouth, but also eliminates unsightly discoloration. And, the composite materials used will even feel exactly like your other teeth!
In the past, we used a goopy material to take the impression of a patient's teeth. This process would often make our patients gag and it was also messy. Today, digital impressions are taken of the patient's tooth, the dentist designs the crown to fit the tooth, and once it’s finished, the information is sent to a milling unit that takes a block of porcelain and mills a final crown while you wait.
