CEREC-3D stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC technology permits Dr. Wescott to produce a ceramic reconstruction of a tooth or several teeth in one visit to the clinic. This is how this new technology works. The defective filling and decay is removed. A reflective powder layer prepares the tooth for imaging. An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera, directly in your mouth. The restoration is created on the screen using the image data. Diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design. This is accomplished in a single appointment using a Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture (CAD/CAM) system.

After polishing the new restoration fits precisely. A unique light hardens the bonding material, uniting porcelain and tooth. Polishing or glazing ensures a pleasantly smooth and natural feel. The color and appearance make the special ceramic material blend with your tooth.

Most of the applications of CEREC-3D technology are accomplished within one or two hours. No impressions, no temporary crowns, no need for a second injection.

Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely long life for your teeth. This amazing new technology is appropriate for Filings, Crowns, and Veneers.

These "before and after" images tell the story.
