The CEREC Treatment Process
Dr. Scott McQuiston begins by preparing the affected tooth and capturing detailed digital images with an intraoral camera. The CEREC software constructs a three-dimensional model, facilitating the precise design of your restoration. The milling unit then carves your custom crown from a solid ceramic block while you relax in the treatment chair. After milling, the restoration undergoes final shaping and polishing before being permanently bonded to your tooth. Most CEREC procedures are completed within 90 minutes.
