A Special Touch for Special Needs

When you are having trouble with your teeth, one of the worst parts of the experience can be making multiple trips to the dentist instead of getting everything done in one trip. CEREC allows you to save time and get better results by taking advantage of advanced technology to restore your teeth with a crown, inlay, or onlay.

What is CEREC? 

CEREC is a intraoral scanning and software program that uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) technology to take digital impressions quickly and generate a precisely fitted filling so you can leave Dr. Durisin sooner. 

 

How can CEREC help you? 

One of the biggest advantages of CEREC is its convenience. If you need a crown, inlay, or onlay, you can get your teeth restored during a single trip to our office. Traditionally, these procedures require two trips to the dentist. 

 

The CEREC process lets you receive your permanent restoration the same day in our office, so you do not have to live for weeks with a temporary crown and schedule another appointment. In addition, Dr. Durisin and her team use digital impressions to make a mold for the restoration. This is more comfortable and accurate than traditional impressions with plaster. 

 

Another benefit of CEREC is that it uses a single block of solid ceramic materials instead of pressed ceramic and metal. CEREC restorations are able to withstand moderate chewing so yours will last for years. The lifespan of a CEREC restoration is longer than similar work with traditional methods. In addition, the color of CEREC ceramic is closer to the color of your natural teeth, which will make your restoration virtually unnoticeable.
