CERED 3D How Does It Work?
CEREC 3D uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where the dentist uses CAD technology to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes about one hour.
Benefits of CEREC single-visit restorations include:
- One-visit convenience
- Up to 100% of tooth's strength
- Durability
- Long-term (can last 15+ yrs)
- High-quality esthetics
- Color-matching to blend with natural teeth
- Created from metal-free material that mimics natural tooth enamel
- Clinically proven and backed by more than 20 years of research
