CERECu00ae Same-Day Restorations

CEREC combines digital scanning, computer-aided design, and in-office milling so selected ceramic restorations can often be designed, made, and placed during one appointment.

Why Same-Day Can Matter

When the tooth and restoration are appropriate for CEREC, completing treatment in one visit can reduce the need for a temporary crown and a separate return visit for final placement.

Not Every Case Is Same-Day

Some restorations are better handled with a dental laboratory, different materials, specialist coordination, or additional treatment first. We choose the workflow based on the toothu2014not simply speed.

The CEREC Workflow

1. Prepare & ScanAfter the tooth is prepared, a digital scan captures its shape and the surrounding bite.
2. DesignThe restoration is designed digitally with attention to contacts, contours, bite, and tooth anatomy.
3. MillThe restoration is milled from an appropriate ceramic block selected for the clinical situation.
4. Fit & BondWe verify fit, contacts, bite, and appearance before the restoration is permanently placed.

Common Uses

Depending on the case and material, chairside CAD/CAM may be used for selected crowns, inlays, onlays, and other ceramic restorations.

Digital Does Not Mean Automatic

The technology assists with records, design, and manufacturing, but diagnosis, tooth preparation, material selection, bite evaluation, and final quality checks remain clinical decisions.

Convenience Without Skipping the Important Steps

The benefit of CEREC is bringing several restorative steps together efficiently while still evaluating fit, strength, function, and appearance before the tooth is finished.
