Porcelain Inlays/Onlays
Cerec restorations only require one appointment. The procedure begins with local anesthetic and the placement of a rubber shield (rubber dam) around the tooth. Once the tooth is prepared, a thin layer of non-reflective powder is applied to the prepared surface. Using a special camera, a scan of the preparation is taken. The Cerec machine works from this scan, which is an "optical impression" of your tooth. The restoration is then designed and the porcelain is milled to very exacting dimensions. Once complete, the porcelain restoration is bonded to the tooth and polished. The bite is adjusted as necessary.
Cerec porcelain restorations are designed to look, feel and function like your natural teeth. Therefore, it is important to brush, floss and see your dentist regularly. To prevent damaging or fracturing your porcelain restoration, avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects. You also want to avoid grinding your teeth. With proper care you can expect your restoration to last many years.
