What
is CEREC®?
CEREC®
means we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using
a durable ceramic material that matches the natural color of other
teeth in your mouth.
| CEREC® is an acronym for | Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. |
| What advantages does CEREC® offer me? |
![]() |
First and foremost, the restoration can be performed in a single session, usually in about one hour. With CEREC® there's no need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab. We won't inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit. Secondly, the restoration is natural looking, because it is made of tooth- |
| colored ceramic material. It's metal-free-no silver fillings to discolor your smile! The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. It allows us to be extremely precise and save more of the healthy part of your tooth. |
How
does CEREC® work?
First, we prepare
the damaged tooth by applying a thin layer of reflective powder
directly on the tooth's surface. Using a special camera, we then
take a picture of the tooth. We work from this photo, which is actually
a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth.

Computer Aided Design technology helps us design the restoration from the optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new restoration on a full-color computer monitor right before your eyes! Then CEREC® creates an extremely precise restoration. A high-speed diamond bur and a disk work simultaneously to mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material. |
Over a decade of clinical research and experience supports the CEREC® technology User input and research have helped the manufacturer improve the product during this time. Dentists have performed over four million restorations worldwide.
