CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology is revolutionizing the way dental restorations are performed by offering same-day solutions without compromising quality. Dr. Alexander Gerskowitz, Dr. Sandi Grace and Dr. Miriam Natovich use CEREC technology to provide custom dental crowns, inlays and onlays in a single appointment. Our dentist and team are dedicated to delivering efficient, precise and comfortable care using this cutting-edge system.
What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC is an advanced digital dentistry system that allows for the design, fabrication and placement of ceramic restorations during a single visit. Using 3D imaging and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), CEREC eliminates the need for traditional impressions, temporary restorations and multiple appointments.
Benefits of CEREC Technology:
- Same-Day Restorations: Custom crowns, inlays and onlays are created and placed in a single visit.
- Enhanced Precision: Digital impressions ensure a perfect fit for your restoration.
- Comfortable Experience: Eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions.
- Durable Materials: Made from high-quality ceramic that mimics natural tooth enamel.
- Natural Appearance: Restorations are custom-colored to blend seamlessly with your smile.
The CEREC Process
At Avant Garde Dental Arts, we use CEREC technology to streamline and enhance your restorative treatment:
- Digital Scanning: A 3D digital impression of your tooth is captured using an advanced intraoral scanner, eliminating the need for traditional molds.
- Custom Design: Using specialized software, we design your restoration with precision, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
- On-Site Milling: The design is sent to an in-office milling machine, which crafts your custom restoration from a block of ceramic.
- Placement: The restoration is bonded to your tooth, completing the procedure in a single visit.
Experience the Future of Dentistry
