CEREC 3D Technology

CEREC is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It is CAD-CAM: Computer Aided Design – Computer Aided Milling. We are able to design a crown, onlay or veneer in one visit for our guests. Instead of taking impressions, temporizing a tooth and then sending it to a lab, to manufacture a restoration, which may take a few weeks and an additional appointment, we are able to produce the final product in one visit. We take an optical impression (camera image) of the tooth and Dr. Lomire designs the restoration. Then the information is sent to the milling unit and from a ceramic block your restoration is fabricated, which may take – 15 minutes, then it is fitted and chemically bonded to your tooth. This is the closest way to restoring the enamel of your tooth. Another advantage is that you are able to eat and drink immediately after your visit with us!
