Anthony Dentistry Provides the Latest in Dental Care With CEREC
CEREC, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a sophisticated computer-aided system for producing durable high-quality restorations. It uses Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument.
CEREC is ideal for patients who want natural, tooth-colored full or partial crowns, filings and veneers completed in a single dental office visit - without impressions, temporaries or long waiting periods. |
