What is CEREC®?
Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic or CEREC® for short is a new state-of-the-art method of reconstructing tooth restorations. CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This new technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers for patients so that there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and finally receiving the finished product. With CEREC®, the technology is used while you are sitting in the dental chair, which is both economical for you and your dentist. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength and function.
With CEREC®’s CAD-CAM technology, these ceramic restorations can all be done in one single visit to the dentist with the following process:
- Exam and Preparation
- Optical Impression
- Milling Unit
- Placing the Restoration
Advantages to Using CEREC®
CEREC® has revolutionized the restorative process. It was created with the patient in mind in order to make a visit to the dentist as pain-free as possible. Some of the benefits to using CEREC® are:
Most procedures can be done in one visit (less costly and less time-consuming)
- Less painful injections due to single-visit
- No need to take messy impressions
- No need to have a temporary restoration for in-between visits
- Ability to save as much natural tooth structure as possible
- Longer lasting restorations – may last over 10 years
- Restores teeth to natural beauty, function and strength
- Metal-free restorations
CONTINUING EDUCATION
When it comes to dentistry, we work harder and smarter.
Our staff has been trained at the top universities and hospitals, but our education doesn’t stop there. Keeping up with advancements in the field is part of our responsibility. We are committed to continuing dental education in order to provide our patients with the latest techniques and advances that dentistry has to offer. Continued training for dentists, treatment coordinators and hygienists is the cornerstone of the practice’s longtime policy to ensure we are servicing our patients with a complete practice management system.
To do this, we implement comprehensive team training initiatives that allow our practice to engage in a full range of patient matters, from diagnosis to treatment planning. The results are major diagnostic and treatment advancements and implementation of new methods that are less invasive and more effective. Our management system benefits our patients by increasing trust, diminishing apprehension, encouraging dentist/patient communication and instilling confidence in the level of care we provide.
A principle goal of the management system is to involve patients in their treatment decisions. Our innovative approach builds upon our success in comprehensive patient care.
