Step #1 - Optical Impression. There's no need for a messy impression. All we do is prepare your damaged tooth by painting a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface. The optical impression is then taken by a special computerized camera. The result is a pin-sharp impression of the tooth without any discomfort or waiting period.
Step #2 - Computer Aided Design. The computer aided design technology helps us design the restoration from the optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new restoration on a full-color computer monitor right before your eyes! There's no wait. All you have to do is sit back and watch for a few minutes before the milling process begins.
Step #3 - Precise milling process. Computer aided manufacturing creates an extremely precise restoration while you watch! We start with a solid block of ceramic material that matches the color of your tooth. We then place that material inside the CEREC 2, where a high-speed diamond bur and disk work simultaneously to precisely mill the restoration. Finally, we bond the newly milled restoration to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry. The entire restoration process, from optical impression to bonding, is painless, quick, and can instantly improve your quality of life.
