March 15th, 2010 by wordpress
CEREC 3D technology marks a revolution in cosmetic dentistry. Utilizing the latest in computer aided design and manufacture, this space-saving system turns the dentist into a miracle worker, and will amaze patients with the quality and speed of their dental procedures.
The CEREC 3D system combines imaging and rapid prototype computer modeling to map tooth decay and customize fillings individually for each patient, right there in the office. Everything is done in-house, with no more impressions being sent out to a lab. Patients can view their teeth right alongside the dentist and see the results of their tooth care habits, which will aid in persuading them of the value of keeping good teeth, and making regular dental visitations. It will also educate and amaze children and make their visits go smoothly.
During the same visit, the CEREC system not only images, but mills out a new tooth filling from a ceramic block, utilizing diamond-drill pinpoint precision. This entire milling process takes only about ten minutes. With a quick bonding, the patient is finished, the tooth restored to a healthy, well-blended appearance, and the entire visit has taken less than an hour.
By cutting visitation time and lab processing time, the dentist can better offer patients the benefit of instant gratification tooth care. Tooth repair that once seemed like a life-altering proposition becomes as quick and easy a process as shopping for a new pair of shoes – if not easier. The patient doesn’t lose patience with return visits on a single process, and is more apt to visit for additional cosmetic procedures. The dentist maintains greater control over the quality of her or his work, since such jobs are no longer sent out for time-consuming laboratory processing. The work itself boasts precision, perfect fitting every time.
Not only can the dentist preserve the healthy tooth, but the new filling possesses many advantages over traditional fillings. Made from a biocompatible, high-grade anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant material, the substantial benefits are surpassed only by the cosmetic benefits – of having a metal-free, distraction-free smile.
The dentist that utilizes the latest in cutting edge technology, offered by the CEREC 3D system, not only competes better in the technological arena, but will soon have patients remarking enthusiastically about the speed and ease and economy of their dental service in their customer referrals and completely revitalized smiles.
