This innovative dental technology has revolutionized the way dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays, are created and placed. While not every dental office provides this advanced technology, Gentle Teeth Braces is a premier provider of CEREC services. With four convenient locations in Weston, Pembroke Pines, Kendall, and Coral Springs, FL, Gentle Teeth Braces is your ultimate destination for all your dental needs. Discover the incredible benefits of CEREC and how it can elevate your dental treatments.
CEREC: A Technological Breakthrough
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a cutting-edge dental technology that enables dentists to design, fabricate, and place high-quality restorations in a single visit. This remarkable system employs CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology to produce accurate and durable ceramic restorations, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary prosthetics.
The Impact of CEREC on Dental Crowns
Dental crowns serve as a protective cover for damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength, appearance, and function. Traditional crown procedures typically require multiple appointments and a temporary crown, while the final crown is created in a dental laboratory. However, CEREC streamlines the entire process, making it possible to complete it in just one visit.
To begin, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. Next, a digital impression of the tooth is taken, which is used to design the custom crown with the help of specialized software. The CEREC machine then crafts the crown from a high-quality ceramic material, and the dentist places and adjusts the crown, ensuring an ideal fit. The process is efficient and precise, saving patients from unnecessary time and discomfort.
CEREC and Veneers: A Perfect Match
Veneers are slim porcelain shells that are adhered to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They can address issues such as staining, chipping, and misalignment. CEREC technology has revolutionized the process of creating veneers, enabling dentists to design and fabricate them in-house.
After removing a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneer, the dentist takes a digital impression of the tooth. Using CAD/CAM technology, the veneer is designed and crafted to fit seamlessly. Finally, the dentist bonds the veneer to the tooth, completing the process in a single visit as opposed to traditional veneers that often necessitate multiple appointments.
CEREC Transforms Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays repair teeth with moderate decay or damage that is too severe for a filling but does not warrant a crown. Inlays are placed within the tooth's grooves, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. CEREC technology has streamlined the process for both inlays and onlays, enabling same-day restorations.
The dentist removes the damaged tooth structure and takes a digital impression. Utilizing CEREC's CAD/CAM technology, they design a customized inlay or onlay, which is then crafted from a ceramic block. The restoration is adjusted for a perfect fit and bonded to the tooth, all within a single appointment.
CEREC technology has undeniably revolutionized the dental industry, providing patients with faster, more efficient, and long-lasting restorative solutions. While not all dental offices offer this extraordinary technology, Gentle Teeth Braces is at the forefront of providing exceptional CEREC services.
