Same Day Solution: The Advantages of CEREC

CEREC which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics is a method under the field of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) dentistry. This technology was created with the goal of restoring chipped, broken or damaged teeth, primarily aiming to make the process of dental restoration safer, easier and faster.

Procedure Can Be Finished in One Day

While conventional dentistry practices necessitates multiple visits to the dentist to finish a crown restoration, the CAD/CAM system allows the procedure to be finished in a single appointment. Usually, crowns are created in an outside laboratory, and the patient may have to wait a few weeks for the finished product to be delivered back to their dentist. With CEREC, crowns are produced right there in the office and can be ready for placement in a short span of time.

It Puts a Premium on Precision and Accuracy

Plenty of dentists swear by CEREC’s efficiency and precision. Conventional dentistry practices make use dental impressions to get the imprint of the tooth’s details. CEREC, on the other hand, depends on digital imaging, which scans and reads the impression using a computer. The process also makes it easier for dentists to make adjustments and customized designs, which greatly aids in creating a crown that’s stronger and has a more natural look.
