The Benefits of CEREC Digital Impressions

When it comes to your best smile restoration, one of the worst parts of the experience can be waiting and having to make multiple trips to your Boise dentist instead of getting everything done in one trip. Cerec digital impressions allows you to save time and get better results by taking advantage in advance dentistry technology to restore your teeth with a crown, inlay or onlay.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is the short term for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEramic REConstruction. CEREC uses computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing technology to take impressions quickly and generate a precisely fitted filling so you can leave Summit Dental Group sooner.

Single Visit Treatment

Going to your Boise dentist multiple times for a single problem can be frustrating. Among the most inconvenient parts about getting a crown is needing two appointments. During the first visit, you need only to have a mold taken, which is uncomfortable enough in itself. You also need to have a temporary crown put on the tooth and hope it lasts, without much discomfort, until your second visit.

With CEREC digital impressions, the digital impression is used to quickly produce your final best smile restoration on-site. That means we can apply your crown and you’ll be ready to go. You don’t need to return for a second appointment in a few weeks.

CEREC materials are made of porcelain or ceramics.

Some Boise crowns and bridges as well as filling sare made out of metal. However, metal colored objects in your mouth aren’t attractive. Cerec crowns and bridges are made of ceramic and fillings are porcelain. They are closer to the natural color of your teeth. In addition, porcelain fillings can be more durable than composite ones.

CEREC digital impressions helps you to avoid multiple trips to your Boise dentist while providing better results. Ask your Boise dentist at Summit Dental Group about CEREC to find out whether it can be a good option for you!
