Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic or CEREC® for short is a new state-of-the-art method of reconstructing tooth restorations. CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This new technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers for patients so that there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and finally receiving the finished product. With CEREC®, the technology is used while you are sitting in the dental chair, which is both economical for you and your dentist. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength and function. With CEREC®’s CAD-CAM technology, these ceramic restorations can all be done in one single visit to the dentist.
THE CEREC® PROCESS
- CEREC® uses CAD-CAM technology to design and mill custom restorations during one visit to the dentist. So how does this process work?
EXAM AND PREPARATION
- Before you get started, your dentist will determine if CEREC® is right for you. Depending on how much healthy tooth structure you have remaining, it may be a simple filling or you may need a crown. After reviewing your options, the dentist will begin the process by administering anesthetic and preparing your tooth for restoration by removing decay and weakened tooth tissue.
OPTICAL IMPRESSION
- In order to make the desired restoration, a 3-dimensional image of the tooth that needs to be restored must be created from a digital camera scan of the tooth. This three-dimensional image will be used to create the restoration without the need to take a messy impression. This means no horrible tasting impression material for you to gag on. The computer and CEREC® 3D software then converts the digital image into a three-dimensional virtual model of the prepared tooth.

I had a great experience at Dr. Maddy’s dental clinic. The staff was friendly and professional, and the office was clean and comfortable. Dr. Maddy was very gentle and thorough with my dental exam. He did my wisdom tooth extraction and I did not feel any pain. He explained everything and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Maddy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dentist.
