| Technology
today is changing our everyday lives. Many
people, however, aren’t aware that technology
also is impacting dentistry in new and exciting
ways. Cutting-edge innovations in dental
instruments are requiring less time in the
dental chair, causing less discomfort and
creating satisfying results. One breakthrough
instrument, called CEREC 3D, allows dentists
to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored
ceramic fillings, saving patients time and
inconvenience. |

What
is CEREC 3D?
CEREC 3D is an acronym
for Chairside Economical Restoration of
Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means
that a dentist can economically restore
damaged teeth in a single appointment using
a high-quality ceramic material that matches
the natural color of other teeth.
How does the
instrument work?
CEREC 3D uses CAD/CAM
(Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing)
technology, incorporating a camera, computer
and milling machine in one instrument. The
dentist uses a special camera to take an
accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This
optical impression is transferred and displayed
on a color computer screen, where the dentist
uses CAD technology to design the restoration.
Then CAM takes over and automatically creates
the restoration while the patient waits.
Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration
to the surface of the old tooth. The whole
process takes about one hour.
What does
this innovation mean for a patient?
A tooth-colored restoration
means no more silver fillings discoloring
smiles. The filling is natural-looking,
compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive
and plaque resistant. Dentists no longer
need to create temporaries or take impressions
and send them to a lab. Because of this,
the traditional second visit has been eliminated.
What Kinds
of Procedures Can It Perform?
· Partial and full
crowns
· All other single-tooth restorations
What
Are the Advantages CEREC 3D Offers?
· The dentist performs
the restoration in a single session, usually
in less than one hour
· No need for the dentist to make an
impression and send it to a lab
· No return visits for the patient
· The restoration is natural looking,
as it is made out of tooth-colored ceramic
material
· Ceramic material is biocompatible,
high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant
· Metal-free -- no silver-colored fillings
· Allows dentist to save more of the
healthy tooth
· Extremely precise
CEREC
3D has over a decade of clinical research
and documentation to support the technology.
The restorations have been proven precise,
safe and effective.
