CEREC

With CEREC technology, we are able to fully restore decayed, cracked or chipped teeth quickly and effectively. This chairside device is an incredible solution when it comes to creating full crowns, inlays/onlays and veneers. We do not have to send out molds out to a third party laboratory, you can have a complete restoration in just one visit.

 

CEREC restorations are made of compressed porcelain. It is not necessary for you to wear a temporary solution while your restoration is being crafted because it can be completed in a matter of minutes! Our patients are extremely comfortable throughout the procedure and the results have been incredible.

 

Before we use the device, Dr. Wook Kim will thoroughly clean the area, removing any plaque or decay. Once that is complete, the process is quite simple. The area of the restoration will be sprayed with a fine powder which allows the digital camera to take an accurate image. Once taken, the 3D image will appear on chairside screen where Dr. Kim is able to design the restoration right in front of you. Once the proper adjustments have been made, the system will begin to construct the restoration piece.

 

One of the coolest aspects of this system is that you can literally sit and watch as your veneer, crown or inlay/onlay is being created. The manufacturing process takes around 15 minutes. Upon completion, Dr. Kim will touch up the restoration by painting, polishing or glazing it before cementing it into your mouth. Most dental facilities have to send molds out to laboratories and will receive the restoration 1-2 weeks later. All in all, the procedure takes about an hour with CEREC!

Inlays/Onlays

Inlays/Onlays

There are several ways to restore the health of your smile.  While fillings and crowns are both very effective, sometimes a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide, but doesn’t quite need a full crown.  In these cases, inlays and onlays are the perfect restorative solution.  We work hard to provide our patients with beautiful inlays and onlays that improve the health and beauty of your smile.

Inlays and onlays are sometimes referred to as partial crowns.  They cover just a portion of your tooth and require less preparation time.  At Orland Dental Wellness Center, we want to make sure that all of our patients are happy with their smile restorations.  If you need to restore a cracked, chipped or decayed tooth, we encourage you to contact our practice.  During a consultation, we can determine if inlays and onlays are the right restorative choice for your oral health needs.
