Would you like to improve the appearance of your smile but don't have time for multiple dental appointments? Thanks to innovative CEREC technology, you can get a crown or veneer in just one visit. Nashua, NH, cosmetic dentist Dr. Robert LaRocque helps his patients improve their smiles with CEREC crowns and veneers.
What is CEREC?
Chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics (CEREC) allows dentists to create crowns and veneers in their offices while patients wait. The innovative technique uses computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to produce the restorations.
How does CEREC work?
Crowns and veneers used to require two visits to your Nashua dentist. During the first appointment, your tooth was prepared and an impression of your mouth was made. Although the impression was immediately sent to a dental laboratory for fabrication of your crown or veneer, you had to wait about two weeks to receive your permanent restoration.
CEREC eliminates the dental lab and the waiting period. Your dentist uses a camera to make a digital impression of your mouth, designs your restoration, then sends it the in-office milling machine. The milling machine removes layers from a block of ceramic or porcelain to produce your new restoration.
