CEREC is a tool that is employed by better dentists in order to allow for better restoration of a tooth or teeth. It makes use of a number of computer technologies. If you are familiar with CAD/CAM, you will know that it is 3D modelling software, often employed by architects. CEREC uses CAD/CAM in combination with 3D photography to allow for more accurate creation of your dental restoration in a timely fashion.

Not only does CEREC help design the dental restoration, it also makes it. A milling machine will cut the restoration out of a ceramic block to the exact specifications that were laid out in the program. There is no guesswork involved with CEREC, computer design and cutting allow a level of precision that was unknown until recent years.

CEREC means that it is possible in many cases to complete a restoration in a single sitting. If you are interested in this technology and would like to know more about it, Wayzata Dental makes use of CEREC for some types of restoration. CEREC can eliminate the need for a second visit and for temporary restorations.
