Let's
face it, very few of us have perfect teeth, free of decay and
fillings. You can probably see a filling or two in your own
mouth, which do just that -- "fill" a cavity, or hole,
in your tooth left from the excavation of decayed tooth structure.
In many cases, those fillings are made of metal material and
can go bad, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay under
or around it. In fact, 1.2 billion of these metal fillings will
need to be replaced in the next 10 years.* CEREC is a method
used by thousands of dentists worldwide since 1987 not only
to replace these fillings, but also to restore any tooth that
is decayed, weakened, broken, etc. to its natural strength and
beauty. Better yet, it's done with all-ceramic materials that
are tooth colored in a single appointment!
What is CEREC? CEREC is an acronym...
Chairside: The technology is in the dental
operatory and used while you are in the chair
Economical: The procedure is economical for
both dentist and patient
Restorations: The procedure restores your tooth
to its natural beauty, function, and strength
of Esthetic: The restorations are metal-free
and tooth-colored
Ceramic: High-strength ceramics are used that
are close in composition to your natural tooth structure.
