In today’s fast-paced world, convenience and efficiency are essential—even when it comes to dental care. Traditionally, getting a dental crown, veneer, or filling required multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and long waiting times. However, advancements in modern dentistry have revolutionized the way we restore teeth. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is one of the most innovative technologies, allowing same-day crowns, veneers, and fillings with unmatched precision and quality.
At PS Dental Services, we proudly offer CEREC as part of our Specialty Dental Services, ensuring that our patients receive high-quality, long-lasting restorations in just one visit.
What is CEREC?
This technology is a state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology that allows dentists to create custom ceramic restorations in a single appointment. This means that instead of waiting weeks for a dental lab to produce a crown, patients can walk out of our office with a fully restored tooth on the same day.
Using advanced digital scanning and 3D modeling, CEREC eliminates the need for traditional impressions, making the process more comfortable, precise, and efficient. This cutting-edge technology ensures that restorations are durable, natural-looking, and perfectly tailored to match the patient’s smile.
The CEREC Process: How It Works
At PS Dental Services, we utilize This technology to provide quick, reliable, and high-quality restorations. The process is simple, efficient, and designed for patient comfort:
1. Digital Scanning – No More Messy Impressions
One of the biggest advantages of This technology is the use of digital impressions instead of the traditional gooey molds that can be uncomfortable for patients. Using a high-resolution intraoral scanner, Dr. Sepehri captures a detailed 3D image of the affected tooth and surrounding area. This scan provides precise measurements, ensuring an accurate and comfortable fit for the restoration.
2. Custom Design & CAD/CAM Modeling
Once the digital scan is complete, CEREC’s CAD software creates a customized blueprint of the crown, veneer, or filling. Dr. Sepehri refines the design to ensure the best possible fit and aesthetics. The CEREC milling unit then carves the restoration from a high-quality ceramic block, creating a strong, durable, and natural-looking tooth in minutes.
3. Same-Day Milling and Placement
The milling machine precisely sculpts the restoration on-site, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or multiple visits. Once the restoration is ready, Dr. Sepehri bonds it securely to the tooth and makes final adjustments for a perfect fit. The entire process takes just a few hours, allowing patients to walk out with a fully restored, functional smile in just one visit.
Why Choose CEREC? The Benefits of Same-Day Restorations
Traditional dental crowns and veneers often require multiple appointments, with patients needing to wear temporary restorations for weeks while waiting for a lab-fabricated crown. CEREC eliminates these issues, providing:
✔ Same-Day Convenience – No more waiting weeks for a permanent crown. Everything is done in one visit.
✔ Enhanced Comfort – Digital impressions replace messy molds, making the experience more pleasant.
✔ Superior Aesthetics – CEREC restorations are made from high-quality ceramic, designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
✔ Durability and Strength – CEREC crowns are just as strong and long-lasting as traditional lab-made restorations.
✔ Precise Fit – Advanced digital imaging ensures a perfectly contoured restoration for optimal function and comfort.
✔ Minimized Tooth Sensitivity – Since there’s no need for temporary crowns, the risk of tooth sensitivity or discomfort is reduced.
✔ Less Time Off Work or School – Fewer appointments mean less disruption to your busy schedule.
At PS Dental Services, we believe in offering our patients the latest advancements in dental technology, and CEREC is a game-changer in modern restorative dentistry.
