Your Dentist in Syracuse Explains the Benefits of CEREC Technology

Learn how CEREC technology can improve your experience from your dentist in Syracuse.Hearing the news that you need a dental crown is disheartening enough without having to find 2-4 weeks in your busy schedule to fit treatment in. Well, gone are the days of wearing unreliable temporary crowns and waiting weeks for your final restoration, thanks to CEREC technology. Your dentist in Syracuse explains how this state-of-the-art technology will benefit you.

What is CEREC?

CEREC actually stands for Chairside Economical Restorations with Esthetic Ceramics. As of 2013, Drs. Craybas and Crumb were one of 38,000 dental teams worldwide offering the convenience of CEREC technology to their patients.

What this means for you is a much more streamlined and comfortable process when it comes to getting restorations such as inlays, onlays, partial and full crowns, and veneers. Treatment that used to take weeks to complete can now be done during one short appointment.

How Does CEREC Work?

CEREC’s 3D technology allows our dentists to scan an image of your tooth directly to our computer-aided milling machine, located in our office. We’ll design and customize your teeth right before your eyes, while you wait. Then our milling machine fabricates the restoration from high quality porcelain customized for your smile, also while you wait.

Once your restoration is complete, our dentists are able to permanently place it and make any adjustments necessary to ensure that your teeth and bite are comfortable. This means that you will leave our office the same day with a fully functioning and esthetically pleasing restoration.

What are the Benefits of CEREC?

The most obvious benefit of CEREC is that it saves our patients time. We understand how hectic our patients’ lives are, and we recognized that it was hard to schedule two long appointments and wait for weeks when you needed a dental restoration done. This is why our doctors invested in CEREC technology in 2002.

CEREC has also streamlined the process so patients no longer have to endure having uncomfortable impressions taken of their teeth, or wearing temporary crowns that could break or fall out. Plus, 3D imaging allows for a more precise and accurate fit for restorations, which means less returns to our office for adjustments to your bite.

Schedule Your Treatment

With CEREC in our office, there’s no longer any reason to wait or put off much needed dentistry that could prevent future issues. If you have a tooth in need of repair, give us a call today to schedule your appointment.
