We are happy to answer any questions that you have about the CEREC® procedure. We now integrate CEREC® and Primescan with our Cone Beam 3-D X-ray to provide computer-guided implant placement.
This step replaces taking a physical impression using a tray full of impression “goop” that most patients don’t particularly enjoy. This process gives us full control over the final result and provides much more convenience to our patients.Īfter we prepare the tooth, we take a digital impression using the CEREC® Primescan’s continuous HD video capture of the area and the opposing teeth. CEREC® technology allows us to make crowns and restorations while you wait here in the office, condensing the typical two visits into one. The conventional procedure for providing a patient with a crown involved a minimum of two visits, one to take the impression and make a temporary crown, and one to deliver the final crown. CEREC® dentistry has vastly improved the process required to prepare and deliver a crown and several other laboratory-made restorations. CEREC® is a CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) system designed to fabricate crowns and other restorations within the dental office.
