| One of the most promising
technologies for dentistry in the past decade, CEREC, has arrived in
Lakewood at our office. CEREC = Chairside Economical Restoration with
Esthetic Ceramics
Using a camera (no more messy impressions) we can design and mill a
new crown or onlay for your tooth in one visit. No return visit is
needed. The machine uses proven CAD/CAM technology and advance
biomaterials to create your new crown or onlay in a single visit.
Years of study on previous models of CEREC have proven time and again
that it is a safe, less invasive and long lasting restorative choice.
In addition, due to its inherent economics, a CEREC crown costs no more
then a traditional crown. It can even save you money as many times
a build up of the tooth is not needed!
If you need a crown, many times a CEREC crown can be used.
There are circumstances that may prevent using it all the time, but we
can let you know.
I'm frequently asked what an onlay or inlay is. In a
nutshell, they are stronger fillings or conservative crowns (caps).
