What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It's a state-of-the-art system that combines digital imaging and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology to design, create, and place restorations such as crowns, onlays, and veneers with incredible precision—all while you relax comfortably in the dental chair.
Instead of relying on traditional methods that require messy impressions, temporary crowns, and multiple visits to complete your treatment, CEREC uses a digital scanner to take a highly accurate 3D image of your tooth. This image is then used to design your custom restoration on a computer, and the final piece is crafted from a block of high-quality ceramic material using an in-office milling machine.
The entire process—from start to finish—can often be completed in just one appointment.
How We Use CEREC at Calleros Dental
At Calleros Dental, your time, comfort, and care are our top priorities. By incorporating CEREC technology into our practice, we’re able to offer a level of convenience and quality that traditional methods simply can't match.
Here’s how it works when you visit us for a CEREC restoration:
Digital Impressions: Say goodbye to messy impression trays. We use a small, handheld scanner to create an instant digital model of your tooth.
Precision Design: Using sophisticated software, we custom design your restoration to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Same-Day Fabrication: Your crown, onlay, or veneer is milled right here in our office from a durable, tooth-colored ceramic material.
Immediate Placement: Once crafted, we bond the restoration to your tooth—all during the same visit—eliminating the need for temporary crowns or follow-up appointments.
Because CEREC restorations are made from high-quality ceramic materials, they are strong, long-lasting, and incredibly lifelike. Plus, they are biocompatible, meaning they work harmoniously with your natural tooth structure and gum tissue.
