Dr. Bauer has the ability to digitally make a new crown or veneer for you in office, in one appointment. The CEREC machine is a 3D scanner that takes a visual impression of your tooth and allows Dr. Bauer to shape and create your new tooth on the computer and then have it milled from a solid piece of porcelain while you wait. Appointment times are therefore reduced in comparison to traditional methods where goopy impressions, temporaries, and a second appointment would be necessary.
