The CEREC Acquisition Unit – is a medical grade computer and specifically-designed oral camera. We first take a digital picture of your tooth, which is used instead of traditional impressions. The computer and CEREC 3D software then converts the digital image to a 3D virtual model on the screen right in front of you. We can then work together to design the perfect restoration such as a crown, inlay/onlay or veneer.
The CEREC Milling Unit – We will select a ceramic block that matches perfectly to the shade of your teeth and insert it into the milling unit. The data from the acquisition unit will then be sent and the block is carved to the exact shape and dimensions that we have selected from your restoration. We will then polish the finished product and fit it into place.
