CEREC Process
By now, you’re probably wondering what exactly a CEREC crown is and how it might be used. CEREC stands for chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramic; basically, it’s a machine used to precisely sculpt your new dental crown in as little as 20 minutes. The machine uses high-quality ceramic blocks and works with computer-aided manufacturing technology to build the perfect fitting crown!
Your dentist will remove decay from your tooth and prepare it for crown placement to begin the process.
Next, we will take a digital impression of your prepared tooth using a small camera. This will be uploaded to our computer and used to design your new crown.
Partnered with our computer programming system, your dentist will begin crafting your crown while you watch.
This design will be forwarded to our manufacturing machine, where the CEREC precisely constructs the perfect prosthetic.
The entire process should take just over an hour, and you will be leaving our office with your new smile.
