Several days ago one of our patients mentioned to me that he didn’t know we had the technology to create his crown in one visit. He was delighted to find out that it would only take an hour and he would not have to come back to get his “permanent” crown in a few weeks or wear a temporary.

Cerec is a Cad Cam Technology that allows us to do all sorts of things we were unable to do a few years ago. The biggest advantage to this technology is that is saves you time and invariably money! Since everything is done at one visit, you wont have to take of work again for a second appointment and never a temporary to worry about coming out.

There are other advantages as well. If you have ever had a traditional crown done by the dentist before you probably remember the impressions and moulds that often times are unpleasant. With Cerec we just take a few pictures and there is no need for impressions. Cerec restorations are made of full ceramic. We use a very strong and beautiful ceramic that makes teeth look like teeth again. No more ugly mercury or silver amalgam fillings.

Below is a quick video of Dr. Hufanda and myself talking about Cerec.
