If the dentist finds your tooth suitable for a CEREC restoration, he or she will use a digital camera scanner to take a 3D image of your tooth after preparing it for the indicated restoration.
This 3D image is displayed onto a computer screen, which the dentist will use to design the restoration. The design data will then be sent to a milling unit for the actual restoration to be created.
After the restoration is created, the dentist will polish it, check its fit and bite, and bond it to your tooth. The whole process can be completed within the same day.
