Top-notch CEREC Technology
CEREC® by Sirona Dental Systems is a restorative, technological dental technique that allows Dr. Fixari to create a ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer for you in only one visit. The advanced technology of CEREC ensures maximum comfort for patients.
What is CEREC?
CEREC is actually an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC offers more options that are both healthy and hassle-free. Rather, visiting Dr. Fixari’s dental office in Columbus multiple times to take molds, fit, and complete your dental restoration work, CEREC restorations can be done in one easy visit. There is no need to wait for your restoration to be constructed.
Method
Developed nearly 30 years ago, CEREC has been upgraded and improved to provide you with the most advanced technology available in restorative dentistry. First, Dr. Fixari prepares the tooth that is to be restored. He then covers the tooth in a white powder, photographs the tooth, and uploads the image to the CEREC computer.
The photo and corresponding data is sent to a milling machine, which then creates the crown, onlay, or veneer from a ceramic block. This typically takes anywhere from four to twenty minutes and is much quicker than waiting for your molds to be sent off to a laboratory.
After the restoration piece has been properly cut, Dr. Fixari bonds the restoration to your tooth using a special resin material.
