What is CEREC?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s an innovative dental technology that allows us to design, create, and place ceramic dental restorations right here in our office. Whether you need a crown, veneer, inlay, or onlay, CEREC in Provo can craft your custom restoration while you wait, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
The Benefits of CEREC Technology
There are several fantastic benefits to choosing CEREC for your dental restorations:
- Single-Visit Convenience: One of the most significant advantages of CEREC is its ability to complete dental restorations in just one visit. No more temporary crowns, multiple appointments, or long waiting periods. You come in with a dental issue and leave with a permanent solution!
- Precision and Accuracy: CEREC uses advanced digital imaging and computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure an exact fit for your restoration. This means there’s less room for error and a higher chance of a flawless fit, ensuring your new restoration feels natural.
- Durable Materials: We customize CEREC restorations from biocompatible ceramic materials with excellent strength. These materials closely mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth, so your restoration will blend seamlessly with your smile.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Don’t worry about visible metal crowns or fillings. CEREC restorations are made of ceramic and are customized to match the shade of your natural teeth, maintaining your smile’s appearance.
- Less Invasive: The precision of CEREC technology allows us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure, leading to less invasive and more comfortable procedures.
How the CEREC Process Works
Are you curious about what to expect when you visit Jeppson Dental for a CEREC restoration? Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:
- Examination and Imaging: Dr. Jeppson will examine your tooth to determine if a CEREC restoration is the right choice for you. We’ll then digitally scan your tooth using a state-of-the-art intraoral camera. This means no more messy impressions!
- Designing Your Restoration: We use the digital scan to design your restoration using CEREC’s CAD software. This sophisticated program lets us customize your restoration’s shape, size, and color for a perfect match.
- Milling the Restoration: We mill your restoration in our office with CEREC’s precise milling machine once the design is complete. The process usually takes about 20 minutes, allowing you to relax and unwind.
- Fitting and Bonding: After milling, we try the restoration to ensure a great fit and make any necessary adjustments. Then, we bond the new restoration to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
- Final Polish and Finish: Finally, we polish and finish your restoration, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your other teeth for a beautiful, natural look. That’s it! You’re ready to show off your smile to the world.
