CEREC Restorations

       With the use of a 3-D infrared camera, we can image the tooth and the surrounding teeth.  That information is fed into the CEREC acquisition computer where the computer generates a 3-D image of the area we are working on.  Dr. Widen will then design the restoration with the help of the computer.  Once the final design is approved , just a few clicks of a button will send the information wirelessly to the porcelain milling unit in the back room after choosing the proper color for the restoration. The milling unit will mill the restoration out of a solid block of porcelain within 15 minutes.  It will then be tried in the mouth, polished or glazed and prepared for bonding.  Once the restoration is bonded in place it is adjusted and polished.

       You get to leave with a brand new porcelain restoration, without waiting 2 weeks for the lab to make it, gagging on impressions, no need for a second visit and worrying if that temporary will stay in your mouth.

       If you need work, CEREC may be an option for you.
