No Temporary.
No Messy Impressions.
One Easy Appointment.
CEREC is an advanced dental technology that is utilized for the restoration of decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth. CEREC can create full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The CEREC machine crafts a restoration in a matter of minutes. CEREC restorations are made of compressed porcelain. It is for this reason that they are stronger than laboratory restorations, which are layered porcelain. The most beneficial feature of receiving a CEREC restoration is that it is accomplished in one visit. In addition to the benefit of a one visit restoration, there is no uncomfortable impression material to bite on or temporary to wear.
Procedure
The procedure for placement of a CEREC restoration is very simple. The first step is to remove all decay from the tooth. The doctor will then shape the tooth in preparation to take a digital picture. The tooth is then sprayed with a very fine powder. This allows the digital camera to take an acceptable image. Once this image is captured, the tooth will appear on a computer screen in 3D. This will allow the doctor to design the restoration right in front of you. Once the design is completed, the CEREC will mill the restoration. This step takes approximately 15 minutes. You can actually watch this process if you would like. When the restoration is finished milling, the doctor will place the restoration. The entire process should take just over an hour.
Stained,
discolored, or dull-looking teeth
If you have stained or discolored teeth, but otherwise like your
smile the way it is, all you may need are whitening procedures
to give you the smile you've always wanted. People with stained
or dull teeth will benefit from whitening - a safe, effective
means to whiten stained, discolored or dull teeth (or even a single
tooth). In-office and supervised at-home whitening systems are
available. At-home systems should be individually fitted and monitored
by your cosmetic dentist.

Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
Teeth that are chipped, cracked, or worn can be perfectly restored
with ultra-thin, specially made laminates or veneers. Either option
can close gaps or disguise discolored teeth that do not respond
well to whitening procedures.
Long-lasting porcelain or composite veneers are ultra-thin, specially
made laminates that are bonded to the teeth. Veneers are stronger
and have a longer life than bonding, but the process requires
more time. Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material
is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened,
and then polished for an ideal smile. This procedure usually can
be accomplished in a single visit.

Missing teeth or general bite dysfunction
Missing teeth can be replaced with predictable results using fixed
bridges or dental implants. Crown or bridge work is best for correcting
major functional or structural problems with individual teeth,
missing teeth, or general bite dysfunction.
New porcelain and ceramic technology is available to replace missing
and/or severely broken teeth so that no one can tell that the
replacements are not real.
Implants are being used to successfully replace teeth for people
in all age groups-with esthetic and predictable results.

Excessive or uneven gums
Excessive or uneven gums can be corrected with cosmetic surgery,
a gum lift, resulting in a more even, pleasing smile.

Old and unsightly fillings
Old, unsightly fillings can now be replaced with esthetic filling
materials such as resins and porcelain fillings or crowns.
