Ceramic Restorations in One Visit
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a system that allows for the fabrication of same-day ceramic dental restorations.
Traditionally, getting a crown, veneer, inlay or onlay required multiple appointments, temporaries and relying on an off-site dental lab to fabricate the permanent restoration.
Now, thanks to CEREC technology, our team can often complete the whole process in-house in a single visit.
Same-day restorations make temporaries unnecessary and help reduce the number of injections and appointments necessary to repair tooth damage.
Types of CEREC Restorations
CEREC produces ceramic onlays, inlays, dental crowns and veneers, allowing our dentists to provide same-day restorations for our patients.
Dental Crowns
CEREC crowns can help strengthen and protect the structure of a severely damaged tooth. They can also look more natural and closely resemble the surrounding teeth.
Veneers
Our dentists offer customized CEREC veneers that can help provide long-lasting results to hide discoloration, correct gaps and give your smile a more even appearance.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays are generally smaller and repair damage contained within the cusp or outer ridges of the tooth, while onlays are larger and can extend their range of repair beyond the cusp. With the help of CEREC, our dentists can have you in, out, and on your way in a single appointment.
