CEREC is an amazing new advance in computer technology that allows Dr. Merica to transform your smile in just one visit! Do you need a porcelain crown, dental veneer, inlay or onlay? No need to wait! With CEREC technology, you can improve your smile today.
Dental procedures that involve crowns usually take two or three visits that are spaced several weeks apart. Traditionally, crowns are created in a dental laboratory in a process that can take days. With CEREC, you can eliminate all of the hassle and start enjoying your stunning smile immediately.
How Does CEREC Technology Work?
Here are the steps to a successful CEREC procedure:
- Consult and Prepare: Come discuss your smile with Dr. Merica. If CEREC is right for you, he will prepare your teeth in the traditional way. This preparation allows your dental work to fit properly.
- Digital Impression: In regular dental procedures, a dentist takes physical impressions by placing paste or putty over the teeth. Dr. Merica speeds up the process by taking a digital image with a camera instead.
- Appliance Creation: Your digital image will be sent to the computer, which will instantly design your restorative appliance. The design will be sent to a milling machine which can instantly create the restoration!
- Smile Transformation: In the very same appointment, Dr. Merica can permanently cement the restoration to your teeth. You can walk out of the office with a brilliant new smile.
What are the Benefits of CEREC?
With CEREC technology, you get to skip the messiness of traditional impressions. You won’t have to wear temporary crowns (which tend to fall out) while you wait.
When you change your smile in a day, you won’t have to take the time to schedule and come in for a second or third appointment. You can instantly start loving the beautiful look and feel of our one-day restorations.
