CEREC®

Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC®) has revolutionized dental procedures. Traditionally, if crowns, onlays, inlays or dental veneers were required to restore damaged teeth, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between would be inevitable. CEREC® creates these ceramic restorations within minutes in the dental office. This means that many treatments can be completed in just a single visit.

CEREC® is comprised of several computer-assisted design (CAD) tools and a milling machine that creates custom ceramic restorative devices. CEREC® can benefit almost anyone needing a ceramic restoration. This is of great benefit to nervous patients, and it can also reduce the cost of treatment.


How can CEREC® benefit me?

CEREC® can benefit almost anyone needing a ceramic restoration. Exceptions include patients who have a prior history of breaking ceramic devices and those with a deep bite. CEREC® devices are proven to last for over 5 years, but recent research indicates that most CEREC®-created restorations last for more than 10 years.

Additional advantages associated with CEREC® include:

  • No temporary restorations
  • High-quality ceramic products
  • Minimal invasiveness
  • Less injections and discomfort
  • Fewer dental visits
  • Cost effectiveness
  • More natural tooth is saved
  • Long lasting restorations
  • Biocompatible solutions

What is the CEREC® system comprised of?

The CEREC® System is sometimes called a CAD-CAM system. CAD-CAM means Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Milling. The CEREC® system has three major components:

Acquisition device: This device is home to a high-quality camera and a medical grade computer. The function of this unit is to photograph the prepared tooth. Three-dimensional images are created of the tooth on the screen, which the dentist uses to design the perfect ceramic restoration.

Three-dimensional CAD software: This software allows the dentist to examine the tooth from every angle. It is the closest possible thing to holding the tooth in the hands and rotating it.

Milling device: This unit actually manufactures the custom restoration from the specifications entered into the computer. A ceramic block that best resembles the existing tooth color is chosen and placed into the unit. Within minutes, the milling device produces the restoration the dentist designed.

I started having severe nerve pain in my tooth late Friday night around midnight. I spent the next few hours searching for a dentist with weekend hours or emergency appointments available since I was unable to sleep due to the severe pain. I contacted several dentists in the area that stated they had emergency or weekend appointments available. While I was waiting to hear back from someone, I used a temporary otc cement, which significantly reduce the pain I was experiencing. Lilly, from Belmont Dentistry is the only person that contacted me back early Saturday morning offering an appointment, squeezing me in that afternoon. Since I had reduced pain and most likely needed an extended appointment to address my issue, I took the first available appointment a few days later in the afternoon after work. All new patient paperwork was sent via text and able to be completed on a mobile device. The office is modern, clean, and decorated nicely. Lilly, the same person who texted me on Saturday was the receptionist and was extremely polite, understanding, and knowledgeable. I saw Dr. Erin Hong and Dental Assistant Aaron- both were professional and personable. I subsequently needed a root canal and crown and would have had to make another appointment for the crown to be placed because the office had already closed. Understanding it would have been very difficult to come back the following day, Dr. Erin and Aaron graciously stayed to finish the crown for me for which I was very thankful. On a side note: I am notoriously difficult to numb- Dr. Erin easily was able to numb the side with a block making the whole procedure completely painless. It was extremely convenient they are able to print high quality crowns right on site, reducing the need to come back for another appointment, once crowns were made offsite which is what I have experienced at other dentists in the past. I recommended Belmont Dentistry to my employees as well as anyone else looking for a fantastic dentist and we’ll run practice.

I am amazed at how incredible the patient care was. These ladies took great care to explain, listen, and engage with us. We were not just a number with a time slot or a dollar sign. They spoke to us with great concern and made us feel heard. We had a unique situation, and though we ended up needed an ENT and didn't pay for further services, they didn't treat us any different. They didn't upsell, dismiss, or rush. And we were the last appointment of the day! My boyfriend and I will both be ditching our current providers and only coming to Belmont for future care. Thank you Ladies!

These two were amazing! I cannot express the fact that I didn’t even need to say a word for these two to treat me like I was part of their family. I am on a scale of 1-5 (five being highest) 5 terrified of the dentist and this was the first time I left an office smiling. Please consider them!
