CEREC System: Innovation in Digital Dentistry

What is the CEREC System?

The CEREC System (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a computer-assisted design and manufacturing technology (CAD-CAM) used in dentistry for the creation of highly precise and durable dental restorations. This system combines a powerful intraoral scanner, advanced design software, and a high-precision milling unit to manufacture crowns, dental caps, inlays, onlays, veneers, and other types of dental restorations quickly and efficiently.

Advantages of the CEREC System in Dentistry

The use of the CEREC System in dentistry offers numerous benefits for both the patient and the specialist:

Restorations in a single visit: Thanks to CEREC technology, it is possible to obtain a dental cap on the same day, reducing waiting time and eliminating the need for follow-up visits.

Digital precision: The intraoral scan provides a three-dimensional image of the patient’s mouth with millimeter accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit for the restoration.

Greater comfort for the patient: Traditional impressions with paste are eliminated, offering a much more comfortable and pleasant experience.

High-quality materials: Restorations are made from highly durable ceramics, such as lithium disilicate and zirconia, ensuring greater longevity and a natural appearance.

Less wear on dental pieces: Being a highly precise process, more healthy dental tissue is preserved compared to other traditional methods.

How Does the CEREC System Work?

The restoration process with CEREC is completed in four simple steps:

Intraoral Scanning Say goodbye to uncomfortable traditional impressions. With a high-tech intraoral camera, a 3D digital image of the patient’s mouth is obtained in just a few minutes.
Digital Design The CEREC CAD-CAM software analyzes the scanned image and generates a digital model of the restoration. The specialist adjusts the details to ensure a perfect fit and a design that harmonizes with the patient’s bite.
Restoration Fabrication The CEREC 3D milling unit creates the restoration from a high-quality ceramic block. The milling process is extremely precise and fast, taking only a few minutes.
Sintering and Placement For zirconia restorations, a sintering process is performed, while lithium disilicate restorations are crystallized in a special furnace. Finally, the restoration is tested in the patient’s mouth and permanently cemented.

CEREC System Price and Profitability

The price of the CEREC system may vary depending on various factors such as the type of restoration and the material used. However, despite its initial cost, it represents a profitable investment for dental clinics, as it reduces work time and improves the patient experience. Additionally, savings on traditional impressions and laboratory time make it a highly efficient option.

If you’re wondering how much a dental crown made with CEREC costs, the price will depend on the selected material and the patient’s specific needs. In our clinic, we offer customized options with the highest quality materials.

Frequently Asked Questions about the CEREC System

How much does a dental crown cost with the CEREC system?
The price of a dental crown made with the CEREC system varies depending on the material and the patient’s specific case. We recommend contacting us to get a personalized quote.

Does getting a dental crown hurt?
No, the procedure is completely painless. In some cases, local anesthesia is applied to ensure a comfortable experience for the patient.

Can a dental crown be removed?
Yes, dental crowns can be removed if necessary, although they are designed to be a durable and stable solution.

What is the difference between a dental crown and a cap?
Both terms are often used interchangeably. However, a dental cap generally covers the entire tooth to restore its functionality and aesthetics, while a crown can also be used to protect weakened teeth or after a root canal treatment.
