How CEREC Technology Works?

CEREC technology is the latest innovations in the field of dentistry. The term CEREC denotes ceramic reconstruction or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In simple terms it means the reconstruction and replacement of your missing teeth. High quality and durable ceramic material is used to structure crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays for the teeth with this technology.

CEREC is a computerised system that consists of a milling machine that designs the tooth restoration with the help of CAD/Cam computer software and high resolution scanning techniques. The process is fast and the procedure is completed within one sitting.

How CEREC Technology Works:

The dentist prepares your tooth by drilling and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Then, images of your teeth are taken with a high resolution camera meant especially for the purpose. These images are uploaded into the computer allowing your dentist to create a 3D image of the teeth to be restored. The milling machine proceeds to create a crown or tooth onlay from a block of ceramic according to the 3D model.

Once the restored tooth is ready, your dentist may stain it to match with your existing set of teeth followed by polishing to give it the natural appearance. If you are satisfied with it, the dentist will glue it in place. The restoration process takes about an hour and you don't need to go back for any adjustments later on.

Advantages of CEREC technology:

While some patients may believe that CEREC technology is only a way to extract huge dental fees, the procedure has a couple of plus points in its favour. Unlike the earlier dental procedures that required you to wait for weeks to get your dental restorations, CEREC allows the process to be completed in a single sitting. The best part is that the crown or veneer is fabricated in the dental clinic itself while you are there and the fitting also happens immediately.

Earlier, it was necessary to take dental impressions by inserting a tray of dental putty into the mouth. Some individuals find this experience disturbing to say the least. CEREC technology does away with this exercise because a special camera takes images of your teeth to create a 3D model used to design the restoration.
