The most effective restoration procedure available to patients today is CEREC. Martha Cortés DDS is excited to offer this innovative dental technology to patients and is enthusiastic as to the advantages this equipment will provide.

CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) enables porcelain ceramic inlay material to be produced easily while you wait. A restoration can now be performed in one dental appointment. No longer are impressions and laboratory work required for dental restorations; a process which usually takes up to several weeks and a series of dental appointments. CEREC means the restoration is completed within one visit.

Utilizing the latest state-of-the-art computer technology CEREC is the most advanced process available in Dentistry to date. CEREC restorations give teeth greater strength and stability and are inconspicuous in appearance. This equipment enables us to quickly repair your teeth; helping you to maintain your teeth for life.

At your appointment the affected tooth is first prepared for treatment. An electronic 3D scan is taken of the area and is viewed on screen by both the patient and Dr Cortes. The ceramic restoration is then designed in accordance with your tooth scan. Utilizing the CEREC machine the ceramic restoration is created quickly and efficiently. After polishing the restoration, it looks and feels like a natural tooth. The restoration is then fitted into place.

CEREC is the best restoration option available to patients as;

• It is the most cost effective restoration process
• Provides support and increased stability to patients
• Can protect and preserve natural tooth structure
• Is visually appealing and virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth
