What does a CEREC restoration procedure involve?
First of all, the whole process is computerized. CEREC Cam is an innovative system that uses an intraoral chamber to obtain the exact impression of the tooth to be treated. In this way, the patient gets rid of the discomfort caused by the traditional impression and can be sure that his tooth will have a perfect appearance.
The design is then transmitted to the milling machine, which makes a dental crown from a ceramic cube. Depending on the material used, the doctor adjusts its transparency, making sure that the restored tooth will fit perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Then, the dental crown is applied in the patient's oral cavity, using the same method used in the case of mounting traditional crowns. This technique considerably reduces the time spent in the dental office and allows this type of treatment to be performed in a single visit to the dentist.
