CEREC® Restorations

CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology produces one-visit restorations for cosmetic and restorative dentistry patients who want to avoid multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and waiting weeks for their porcelain crown or veneer. We care about providing patients with convenient, advanced treatment options, and that’s why we are proud to offer CEREC® at OC Lifesmiles. CEREC® can produce high quality veneers, crowns, inlays, and onlays.

The CEREC® Process

The dentist, either Dr. Cross, prepares the tooth needing a restoration by removing damaged tooth tissue or decay. The dentist then takes digital impressions of the teeth through an infrared camera, which is attached to the CEREC® 3D software. Using the software and images of your teeth, the dentist designs your restoration in minutes. The design is sent to the milling unit – also located in our office – which crafts the custom restoration, while you wait comfortably in our office. When it’s ready, the dentist will place the restoration in your mouth and examine it for the fit and feel. Once any last minute adjustments have been made, you can walk out of our office with a newly restored tooth or teeth!
