CEREC® is a remarkable dental procedure that
takes place in a single dental appointment. Made to match the color of your
teeth, CEREC® is used for dental crowns as well as artificial teeth for dental
implants. Some dentists in Corona even use CEREC® for porcelain veneers.
What is CEREC®?
CEREC® is a remarkable chair side procedure
that is used by your Corona dentist. If you are having a CEREC® crown placed,
it will be just as strong as metal to porcelain and porcelain dental crowns. CEREC®
has been around for well over a decade and like everything has improved over
time.
CEREC® replaces conventional dental materials
and is made while you wait at the dentist’s office.
What is the CEREC® Process?
If your Corona dentist determines that you
and CEREC® are a good fit, digital impressions and pictures are taken of the tooth
or teeth that are to be crowned or modified. Because everything is done digitally,
you won’t have to deal with goopy and messy impression trays.
When the pictures are sent to the computer
your dentist in Corona will check to make sure the images are a good fit for
your tooth or teeth. Once satisfied your dentist sends the images to the in
office milling machine for manufacture. While you wait for your restorations,
you can take a nap, watch some television, or catch up on social media.
When your restoration or restorations are
ready, which takes about 45 minutes, CEREC® will be checked for fit and color
before being placed permanently.
Why CEREC®?
CEREC® is the best restoration as it
eliminates multiple trips to the dentist. Conventional crowns and porcelain
veneers take at least two dental appointments. Conventional crowns and veneers
also require temporaries while your restorations are made. You won’t have to
deal with any of this when you opt for CEREC®.
