Why Should I Choose CEREC Dental Technology Over Traditional 

The Reasons Why Innovation Beats Tradition

Many dentists across the nation have started to recommend Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics or CEREC. This type of restoration route has taken the dental cosmetic industry by storm as it virtually removes the need for a middleman (a lab who creates the dental crown). If you are like many patients wondering, ‘Why should I choose CEREC over Traditional?’ Find out the reasons why below.

Reasons Why You Should Choose CEREC Over Traditional

  1. Advanced: CEREC uses an incredibly smart and powerful 3D scanner mixed with a CAD/CAM software to create beautiful and custom made dental restorations. The quality will never be compromised with this machinery as it is highly advanced and leaves no room for error. The best part? If there is an error (which is highly unlikely), the dentist can recreate another CEREC crown on the spot. This eliminates any wait time involved with the traditional route.
  2. Speed: The obvious reason for choosing CEREC over traditional is for the speed it provides. Your dental restoration can be designed and created with the needed material in about an hour, unlike the traditional route which can take upward of a few weeks!
  3. Quality: The quality of having a CEREC crown is virtually perfect because it is created with precision on its high-tech machinery and CAD/CAM software. The dental crown is first created like a 3D image once the dentist takes the needed imagery of your teeth through the machine. There is virtually no room for error because of the high tech software embedded into the machine. The great part about this is, if and only if there is a problem with the initial crown, a new one can be designed and created on the spot! If a patient goes the traditional route, the new crown would take at least a week for the new restoration to be created.
  4. Price: Contrary to popular belief, a CEREC crown is no more expensive than that of a traditionally made crown.  The CEREC technology removes the need for a middleman (the lab) so that fee is reduced for the patient and the dentist. You will only be investing in a longer appointment at your dental office. In hindsight, you would have to come back for another appointment to insert your permanent crown anyway. So one appointment becomes priceless!
  5. Comfort: Because the CEREC dental crown is created with precision, it feels much more comfortable in your mouth because the fit can often be better. It also eliminates the need for a putty impression to be sent to the lab, which is typically not very comfortable for many patients.
  6. Convenience: As mentioned before, CEREC allows the patient to have their dental crown completed in one appointment. It removes the need to come back a second or third time if it’s not needed. This frees up more time for you to spend anywhere but the dentist's office!
