Dr. Campbell has been using CEREC Technology for 14 years. In the majority of cases, she can complete a crown or onlay in 90 minutes or less! After numbing and preparing the tooth for the crown, Dr. Campbell scans the mouth with a video camera. From there she will design your tooth in about 5 minutes on the computer. A block of ceramic goes into a milling unit and the new restoration is cut out in about 15 minutes. After trying it in the mouth, it goes to the oven for glazing and is then bonded in place.
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!
