CEREC is an acronym meaning Chairside
Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a type of technology that
incorporates two computer technologies: CAD (computer-aided design), and CAM
(computer-aided manufacturing). The CEREC procedure allows Dr. Jennifer Thomm
to design, manufacture, and perfect a crown while you wait in our beautiful office at Great
Lakes Dental. The process can be completed in less than an hour.
The process begins with taking a picture of
the tooth that will receive the crown. Using that image, a digital impression
of the real tooth is created. The software allows us to re-create the adjacent
teeth digitally (ensuring a proper fit), the image is then sent to the milling
machine via wireless transmission.
With a CEREC crown, you’ll get a permanent
crown during a single office visit. The design process allows us to match that
crown to your real tooth as closely as possible.
CEREC crowns are made out of ceramic
material and milled using diamond blades.
Before securing the crown in your mouth
with resin cement, we smooth, file, and refine the shape of the crown. After
cementing the tooth in your mouth, Dr. Jennifer Thomm and her team at Great
Lakes Dental will check to make sure the surface of the crown is smooth and
makes proper contact with your teeth when you bite down.
