What is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, which perfectly sums up the experience at Complete Health Dentistry of SoCal. The "chairside" aspect refers to the ability to complete the entire crown-making process in one visit, from planning and designing to milling and cementing, all in-house. This eliminates the need for multiple visits and the associated costs. "Restoration" highlights the goal of restoring damaged teeth to their natural appearance, health, and function. "Esthetic" refers to the high-quality ceramic material used to make the crowns that perfectly match the shade of the surrounding teeth. And, the "ceramics" part speaks to the use of dental ceramics such as porcelain, which are both safe and mimic the appearance and strength of natural teeth.

The CEREC Process

CEREC is a cutting-edge solution for rebuilding a portion of a damaged tooth. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques, the restoration or crown is made onsite and in real-time, while the patient waits. The process starts with a gentle, non-invasive optical impression of the teeth, avoiding the need for uncomfortable bitewing or putty scans. The images captured are then transformed into a 3D model, which can be adjusted to create a precise and custom fit. With minimal room for human error, the crown is then milled from a pre-selected block of porcelain in the appropriate shade and bonded to the tooth in just one visit. The result is a stunning, ultra-strong and ultra-attractive crown that is polished and bonded securely in place, ready for immediate use. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental exams and cleanings, these CEREC crowns are built to last for 10 years or more.
