CEREC (CERamic rEConstruction)
CEREC® is a camera, computer, and precision-manufacturing-machine all in one. CEREC’S built in camera can take a picture of the damaged tooth. Using this image, the CAD (Computer Assisted Design) feature of the CEREC® designs the porcelain restoration. Then, the CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing) function mills the restoration out of a highly durable block of porcelain. The resulting crown is extremely aesthetic and strong and perfectly mimics the natural tooth.
