One Visit With The CEREC® Procedure

Let’s face it — very few of us have perfect teeth, free of decay, and fillings. You can probably see a filling or two in your own mouth, which do just that — “fill” a cavity, or hole, in your tooth left from the excavation of decayed tooth structure. In many cases, those fillings are made of metal material and can go bad, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay under or around it. In fact, 1.2 billion of these metal fillings will need to be replaced in the next ten years. CEREC® is a method used by thousands of dentists worldwide since 1987 not only to replace these fillings, but also to restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, broken, etc. to its natural strength and beauty. Better yet, it’s done with all-ceramic materials that are tooth-colored in a single appointment!

What is CEREC®?

How CEREC Works

Optical Impression

Your dentist takes an optical impression of the prepared tooth. Instead of filling a tray with impression “goop” that you must bite into and hold in your mouth until it hardens, your dentist coats the tooth with a non-toxic, tasteless powder. A camera is then used to take a digital picture of your tooth. This whole optical impression process takes only a minute or two.

No Temporary Crowns

Next, the CEREC® machine helps the Dr. Incampo create the restoration for your tooth. The CEREC® 3-D software takes the digital picture and converts it into a 3-D virtual model on the computer screen. Your dentist then uses his or her dental expertise to design the restoration using the CEREC® 3-D computer program. Within a few minutes, Dr. Incampo clicks a button and the restoration design data is sent to a separate milling machine in the office. A ceramic block that matches your tooth shade is placed in the milling machine. About 10 to 20 minutes later, your all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond in place. Finally, he tries the restoration in your mouth to ensure proper fit and bite. The restoration is then polished and bonded to the prepared tooth. Your tooth is restored with no “temporary” or return trip necessary. All of this is done in a single appointment! Ask us about CEREC® today.
