How CEREC Transforms Dental Visits

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) Same-Day Dentistry is a sophisticated system that allows for the design, creation, and placement of ceramic restorations in just one visit. This innovative approach uses 3D printing technology and computer-aided design (CAD) to produce precise and durable dental restorations on-site. Dr. Miguel Castillo III, DDS, utilizes his expertise in general dentistry alongside CEREC’s capabilities to deliver high-quality care with remarkable efficiency.

The Benefits of Choosing CEREC Technology

  • Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for multiple appointments.
  • Comfort: Reduces the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dental impressions.
  • Precision: Offers highly accurate restorations that fit better and last longer.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Crafts restorations from high-quality ceramic materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

A Closer Look at Your CEREC Procedure

The journey towards your new smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Beautiful Smiles. Here’s what you can expect during a typical CEREC procedure:

  • Digital Impressions: The first step involves taking a precise digital scan of your mouth using CEREC’s state-of-the-art imaging technology.
  • Design Phase: Next, the digital model of your tooth is used to design your custom restoration on a computer screen right before your eyes.
  • Fabrication: The design is then sent to an in-office milling machine that sculpts your restoration from a block of ceramic material in minutes.
  • Placement: Finally, the newly created restoration is adjusted as needed for fit and color before being permanently bonded to your tooth.

Setting Realistic Expectations for CEREC Restorations

CEREC Same-Day Dentistry offers a convenient and effective solution for many dental needs. However, it’s important to have a consultation with Dr. Castillo to discuss if this option is suitable for your specific situation. Factors such as the extent of tooth decay or damage can influence the viability of same-day restorations for you.
