Almost all dental restorations require patients to visit the dentist more than once to complete the entire procedure. On your first visit, your tooth will be prepared and an impression will be made. Your dentist will also need to put a temporary restoration while waiting for the new restoration. After a couple of weeks, you will be asked to see your dentist again and this time, the temporary restoration will be replaced by the permanent restoration. But if your cosmetic dentist uses CEREC technology, all these will be accomplished in a single visit. This technology is the only ceramic restoration fabrication system that cuts dental visits to just one. Patients will no longer have to endure several injections and drillings. If you have a busy schedule, CEREC is perfect for you.
CEREC treatments that include veneers, onlay and ceramic crowns involve the regular preparation of your tooth. Instead of regular dental impression, your dentist will now take an optical impression using a digital camera. This impression will be easily converted to a computerized tooth model, which will be modified using the latest software in CEREC 3D technology. Once your dentist obtained the perfect digital image, it will be sent to an on-site milling machine, which will fabricate the restoration from a ceramic block in just 30 minutes. Your dentist will now fit you with the restoration and make adjustments, if needed.
