CEREC
These beautiful CEREC porcelain crowns and replacement fillings are custom designed using virtual 3D software right in front of you from a digital, optical image of your tooth on our amazing cad/cam milling unit out of high density porcelain ingots and are delivered permanently to you while you wait.
These optical images have digital accuracy unlike traditional impressions that undergo dimensional distortion as the fabrication process involves multiple duplication steps which can result in remakes. No more gooey impression material to the lab or lost temporaries! Our office utilizes CAD/CAM technology. CAD/CAM stands for “computer-aided design” and “computer-aided manufacturing”. This technology allows the dentist to use an intra-oral scanner inside your mouth to take a digital scan of a tooth that has been prepared to receive a crown. Using special software, the data from the scan is used to generate a design (CAD) for a custom crown. This program will also generate a custom blue print and guide lines to manufacture the new crown (CAM). This software, paired with a state-of-the-art milling machine, enables our office to create precise and custom crowns, inlays and onlays in one single dental visit.
