Digital Impressioning

 

CEREC_AC(1)

This technology uses a camera to create a virtual 3D model of your teeth; no more messy impression goop in your mouth!

Advantages of CEREC

  •  Crowns, onlays and veneers in one appointment; you get them the same day, so you save time! Dental labs take 2 or more weeks to fabricate a crown, onlay or veneer.  This can commonly lead to slight changes in bite and tooth position.  The restoration then has to be re-adjusted to fit properly. Lengthy adjustments are much less common with CEREC due to accuracy of the digital impression, and not having to use a temporary restorations for 2 weeks.
  • With one appointment, you save money in gas and time off work required to get your dental treatment done.
  • Your dental impression is saved on a computer.  If your restoration fails or cracks any time in the future, another can be made quickly before you come into the office so you save time in the future.

Is a CEREC restoration as strong as a lab made restoration?

They are very close.  A very common porcelain used today is called Emax.  When made with CEREC, Emax is rated at 360 mpa strength.  A lab made Emax is rated at 400 mpa strength.  This is a very small difference when you compare the strength of older traditional porcelain at only 160 mpa. As a staff, we choose CEREC restorations for ourselves.
