Why Cerec?

Every day, more and more patients are choosing CEREC as their preferred dental restoration technique. According to the Sirona website, the CEREC technique has been the preferred CAD/CAM technology of dentists since 1985, allowing doctors to perform all ceramic dental restorations in a single visit.

Over the years there have been hundreds of clinical studies and the CEREC technique is offered by thousands of dentists with millions of patients having benefited from its offerings. Again, from the website, Cerec’s “proven performance, unrivaled success, and unequaled capabilities have made CEREC the number one dental CAD/CAM choice for over 28 years.”

For patients, the biggest advantage is the time savings. Only one appointment is required, resulting in much preferred single appointment dental care. As dentists and patients know, most restorative procedures require more than one visit to the dentist. Typically, this requires an initial visit including anesthesia, tooth preparation and an impression as well as a temporary restoration. A follow up visit is required a few weeks later, with another shot of anesthesia, the temporary restoration pulled off, and the new permanent restoration put in place.

The reason we like CEREC, and the reason our patients are choosing this method too, is the procedure is done in a single appointment - from start to finish!
