Perfect Restorations with CAD/CAM
The CEREC 3D system means that your dentist can obtain a perfect view of the inside of your mouth and fit your new filling precisely to the contours of your jaw, eliminating the discomfort and difficulty chewing that can accompany imprecise fillings. CEREC, a computerized design system for dentists, stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. With the comprehensive 3D image of each patient’s teeth and jaws available with this system, our dentists will be able to gain a full visual understanding of your mouth with a level of clarity that means they can also show you where the problem is and how dental treatment can benefit you.
Save Time and Get Better Results
You can save time, avoiding multiple appointments and lengthy delays, when you need a crown, inlay or onlay. The filling or cap will be precisely fitted to your mouth, without differentiation between temporary and permanent fillings. CEREC also uses a small scanner to take a precise picture of your teeth and jaw. The scanner fits neatly in the hand of the dentist for a comfortable, easy scan for the patient as well. While the old-style trays use to take a dental impression can be uncomfortable and require minutes of waiting, this advanced system makes dental impressions faster and more pleasant.
The 3D imaging device captures the details of each tooth as it glides over them. It clearly distinguishes between teeth and gums and captures the exact shade of each tooth, which means that your crown or filling is produced as a precise shade match to your existing teeth.
Same-Day Crowns Designed for You
The image is easily transformed into a 3D virtual model that your Franklin Square dentist will work with to fabricate your final restoration. With our in-house Milling Chamber, your filling, crown or replacement will be created while you wait based on the advanced model produced by your digital impressions. Our on-site lab polishes the filling or crown and it can be bonded to your tooth right away, eliminating inconvenience and delays.
With this 3D imaging technology, same-day crowns are possible and easy. Your Long Island dentist will not only take this detailed impression but also design and create a new filling, crown, onlay or veneer in just one trip to the dentist that precisely matches the color of your teeth. These fillings are designed to be comfortable and orally compatible, resisting plaque and tartar. These ceramic restorations are highly durable and allow you to move beyond metal for your dental fillings.
Advanced Technology for Better Restorations
