CEREC technology is used for more than just crowns. It may also be used in the following applications:

• Dental implant restorations to replace the crowns anchored to the titanium posts
• Veneers transform your smile by covering the front surfaces of your teeth
• Onlays/inlays can be used to replace old amalgam fillings for a mercury-free restoration

Dr. Pfister talks about how CEREC make dentistry more comfortable and less frustrating for patients.

CEREC visits begin with digital impressions. Dr. Pfister is able to create a 3D representation of your tooth and bite without goopy impressions. The information is transmitted to CAD software to design your ideal tooth which is then created immediately out of metal-free ceramic. Dr. Pfister can then place your permanent crown without temporary crowns or additional visits. It is that simple.

If you have ever gotten crowns or veneers, then you know that it used to take several visits to the dentist over the span of a few weeks. With CEREC, Dr. Timothy Pfister can create your new crowns, onlays, inlays, and veneers on-site. Your restorations no longer need to be sent out to a dental lab, saving you time and money while allowing Dr. Pfister to control quality. He will also place your restorations permanently in the same visit. With CEREC®, waiting is a thing of the past.
