Cerec 3D

Cerec CAD/CAM technology has been under continuous development since the mid-80's.  It can be used to make several different types of all-ceramic restorations, such as full or partial coverage crowns, porcelain veneers, and porcelain inlays (fillings).  The VAST majority of the time we only need a single visit to complete the case. 

These restorations can be polished to a very high shine...and look very nice.  However, if the doctor has his own porcelain oven with a variety of porcelain tints/shades, the results can be spectacular.  Dr. Quevedo has the full set-up to custom match most shades and then glaze the restoration to make them look and feel so much better than merely polishing them.

 

Carlos presented with a tooth cracked in several different places.  It was in danger of splitting in two!

Steve came to me two days before Christmas for the very first time.  He had abnormally small lateral incisors that had been restored with porcelain veneers 2-3 years earlier...and now the left one had fallen off.  Since it was broken he did not bring it with him.  Here's how he looked....

With Cerec...Dr. Quevedo was able to scan the veneer on the right side and make a mirror image of it to place on the left side.  Thanks to Cerec 3D....Steve did not have to worry about looking snaggle-toothed for all those Christmas pictures!  When you need a crown or veneer in a hurry....absolutely NOTHING solves the problem as easily as Cerec.
