Dr. Brent Engelberg is a cosmetic dentist who has always had quality in mind. When a patient opts for cosmetic work, it’s always a financial and time commitment that should be taken seriously. That is why until recently, Dr. Engelberg has held out on introducing CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) to his practice. The CAD/CAM technology has been utilized by some dentists for longer, but the milling details still required some technological growth. Dr. Engelberg’s CEREC machine has four bur attachments instead of the usual two, and is the only cosmetic dental office in the area that can boast this superior same day milling technology.
Explaining CEREC
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEramic REConstruction machine) is an innovative technologically which utilizes an advanced piece of dental equipment. The advantage of CEREC is that you can attain a customized dental crown right before your eyes. In the very same visit, your dentist can prep and fit you with a crown that is color-matched to your existing teeth thanks to CEREC. The ceramic materials used for these restorations offer a similar look to tooth enamel when light shines on them. It would take a highly trained eye to discern the restoration from natural teeth.
Advantages of CEREC
The convenience of getting a permanent crown from start to finish in one single visit means that you will limit your time commitment and anxiety level. You won’t be required to leave the office with an ill-fitting temporary crown. You won’t have to wait for days while a lab manufactures your permanent crown. Impressions are made, your tooth is prepared, and your new crown is fabricated while you rest comfortably in the dentist’s chair. Your new crown is next bonded to your tooth through a chemical process that allows your dentist to save as much healthy tissue as possible. You will walk out of the office feeling like you have accomplished a lot in a short period of time.
