CEREC

Advanced Dentistry Designed Around Your Convenience

When a tooth becomes damaged by decay, fractures, or wear, restoring it quickly is important for maintaining your oral health and preserving your smile. Traditional dental restorations often require multiple appointments and temporary restorations before the final treatment can be completed.

With CEREC technology, many restorations can be designed, created, and placed in a single visit, allowing you to receive high-quality care with greater convenience and efficiency.

At General and Implant Dentistry, we use advanced CEREC technology to provide precise, comfortable, and same-day restorative solutions.

What Is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This advanced system uses digital technology and computer-aided design to create custom dental restorations directly in the office.

CEREC can be used to create:

• Dental crowns
• Inlays
• Onlays
• Certain restorative treatments for damaged teeth

Because the restoration is designed and fabricated in-office, patients can often avoid the need for multiple appointments.

Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Dentistry

CEREC technology combines precision with convenience, helping patients restore their smiles more efficiently.

Benefits include:

• Same-day treatment in many cases
• Fewer office visits
• No temporary restorations required
• Digital impressions for improved comfort
• Highly accurate fit and appearance
• Durable and natural-looking materials
• Faster restoration of function and aesthetics

This streamlined process allows patients to leave with a restored smile sooner.

What to Expect During Treatment

The CEREC process is designed to be comfortable and efficient.

Digital Imaging

Instead of traditional impression materials, digital scans are used to capture detailed images of your teeth and surrounding structures.

Restoration Design

Using advanced computer software, your restoration is carefully designed to match the shape, size, and appearance of your natural teeth.

On-Site Fabrication

The design is then sent to an in-office milling unit, which creates your custom ceramic restoration.

Final Placement

Once completed, the restoration is carefully placed, adjusted if needed, and bonded securely to your tooth.

The entire process can often be completed in a single appointment.

Natural-Looking and Durable Results

CEREC restorations are created from high-quality ceramic materials that are designed to blend naturally with your smile. These restorations are durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Whether restoring a damaged tooth or strengthening a weakened one, CEREC technology helps deliver long-lasting results that look and feel natural.
