Cerec, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic, is essentially a CAD/CAM machine that produces crowns (caps), veneers, inlays and onlays right in our o_ce.

The advantage of this machine to our patients is that we are now able to complete these different types of restorations in just one appointment. In the past, a patient would require two or even three appointments over a period of one or two weeks to achieve a comparable result.

Another great advantage of the Cerec system is that the restoration is created based upon a digital picture taken of the tooth in question. No more messy, uncomfortable and awful tasting impression materials.

Laboratory testing has demonstrated that a Cerec restoration can last as long or longer than one made of gold. Considering that gold has long been considered the most durable material for dental restorations, this is quite a compliment for the Cerec system.
