CEREC Chairside Economical
Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics
If a tooth is damaged or weakened, CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) can be a convenient option for restoring the appearance and function of the tooth. CEREC uses digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology to design and create custom restorations such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and certain bridges without needing to use traditional impressions.
The restoration is shaped and shaded to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. Once it’s been created, it can be placed and adjusted for a comfortable, precise fit.
Traditional tooth restoration procedures generally require an impression to be made of the tooth, which can be an uncomfortable process that requires several repeated attempts to achieve the exact likeness. CEREC offers a faster, more comfortable, and more precise alternative. To ensure that you have a clear understanding of what is involved in the CEREC procedure and determine if CEREC is right for you, please refer to the information provided below. If you have additional questions or would like to schedule an appointment, contact us today at 281-359-9100, or visit our office at 1542 Green Oak Pl, Kingwood, TX 77339.
We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve the highest level of healthcare!
Benefits of CEREC
- Convenient: One of the biggest and most unique benefits of the CEREC procedure is that the design can be completed in one visit, compared to traditional methods, which require multiple visits to complete.
- Finest Dental Materials: In addition to being convenient, CEREC tooth restoration also provides a restoration that will strengthen and improve the functionality and appearance of your natural teeth.
- Longevity: Because CEREC uses one single block of ceramic materials, it can withstand more wear and tear, meaning it will last much longer than traditional methods.
- Improved Structural Integrity: CEREC will strengthen and provide additional support to the existing tooth structure and improve the health and overall appearance of teeth affected by issues such as fractures, chips, and/or cracks.
- Allows for Simple Tooth Restorations: It is not uncommon for patients to avoid scheduling dental appointments to have simple restorations placed because of the long waiting period, but CEREC provides same-day results.
- Preserves Existing Teeth: CEREC requires less drilling and tooth modification compared to traditional methods, which means you will preserve more of your natural existing teeth.
- Look Like Real Teeth: CEREC crowns are designed to match the shade of your natural teeth, resulting in a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
CEREC Aftercare
Following your CEREC procedure, it is important to avoid chewing foods that are chewy or sticky for at least 24 hours to avoid cracking the restorations. It is also common for patients to experience some tooth sensitivity when eating or drinking food or beverages that are cold or hot, but this will typically go away after a few weeks. To continue enjoying good oral health and reduce the need for this type of procedure in the future, it is important to consistently follow good oral hygiene practices. In addition to brushing and flossing twice daily (at a minimum), be mindful of the types of food and beverages you consume, and avoid foods or substances that can negatively impact your oral health (chewing tobacco, staining foods, sugary drinks). It is equally important to schedule regular dental cleanings every six months, or more frequently, depending upon your unique oral health needs. If you follow these general guidelines, you will enjoy a healthy smile for many years to come!
Cost for CEREC Crowns
The cost of CEREC will depend upon how many restorations are made and what insurance coverage from your dental plan can be applied. It is important to be aware that you are fully responsible for all fees of treatment, and payment is due at the time of service, regardless of your insurance coverage. Monthly payment plans can be arranged, but this will need to be accomplished prior to the procedure being performed. Although we will not have a contractual arrangement with your provider, our staff is happy to assist with processing your insurance claim to ensure that you maximize your benefits and receive the high-quality care you need and deserve. For your convenience, we accept Mastercard, Visa, and Discover.
