Time, convenience and long-lasting results matter when it comes to dental care. At Vibe Dental, we offer CEREC technology to provide same-day dental restorations without compromising precision or quality. Our dentists and team use this advanced system to create and place custom ceramic restorations in a single appointment.
What is CEREC?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system that allows dentists to design, fabricate and place high-quality ceramic restorations—such as crowns, inlays and onlays—right in the office. This eliminates the need for traditional impressions, temporary restorations and multiple visits.
Benefits of CEREC include:
- Same-day placement of crowns and restorations
- No need for messy impressions or temporary crowns
- Durable, high-quality ceramic materials
- Digital accuracy for a better fit and feel
- Natural-looking results that blend with existing teeth
Each restoration is custom-milled and bonded during the same visit, streamlining care while maintaining aesthetic excellence.
How the CEREC Process Works
CEREC begins with a digital scan of your tooth using an intraoral camera. Dr. Justin Palmer, Dr. Daniel Lyu and Dr. Aaron Stroh use the scan to design your restoration on a computer screen, adjusting shape, size and contours for optimal fit and function. Then the information is sent to a milling machine which will carve the restoration from a ceramic block.
After the restoration is polished and checked for accuracy, it is bonded permanently to the tooth. The entire process is completed in a single visit, reducing patient time and improving overall efficiency.
Precision, Comfort and Long-Term Results
CEREC restorations are known for their strength, precision and biocompatibility. The ceramic material used is similar to natural tooth enamel in hardness and appearance, making it a reliable option for both front and back teeth. The digital workflow also improves comfort by eliminating the need for impression trays and reducing chair time.
In clinical studies, CEREC restorations have shown comparable or even superior longevity to those made in dental labs. When combined with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, these restorations can last many years.
