How Does a CEREC Machine Work?

Rachelk19 Apr, 2023Health

The CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) machine is a dental tool used to make customized ceramic dental restorations in one visit, speeding up a process that typically requires sending a mold of a patient?s teeth to a dental laboratory to get a part made, which can take up to a week and requires multiple trips to the dentist. CEREC machines produce ceramic onlays, inlays and dental crowns with the use of 3D scans, allowing dentists to provide same-day restorations for patients who need crowns or dental implants.
