Technology - CEREC

Ferris Lane Dental
Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEramic REConstruction (CEREC ) is the most technologically advanced device in the field of dentistry today.

Instead of wearing a temporary for a few weeks, we deliver the care in the same appointment. Your tooth is scanned by a computer, the restoration is designed and the milled to completion. The crown is then delivered before the anesthesia (numbness) even wears off.

First and foremost, the restoration can be performed in a single session, usually in about one hour. With CEREC there's no need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab. We won't inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit.

The restoration is natural looking, because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material. It's metal-free - no silver fillings to discolor your smile! The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. It allows us to be extremely precise and save more of the healthy part of your tooth.

Key Benefits

• CEREC porcelain is very tooth-like. It is smoother than traditional porcelains and does not cause as   much wear to the opposing teeth.
• CEREC restorations are more conservative than traditional crowns. More of the natural tooth structure is   retained with this new technology.
• CEREC restorations are bonded to the tooth. This reduces sensitivity and strengthens the tooth. Most   traditional crowns are cemented with glues that can "wash away" in time.
• X-rays penetrate CEREC porcelain so the dentist can see problems, if they develop, down the road. It is   difficult to see what is happening under traditional metal or porcelain-to-metal crowns with dental X-rays.
