What is CEREC and how does it work?

CEREC (CERamic REConstruction) is a brand name for a sophisticated technology that has revolutionized fine d
entistry. It involves using CAD/CAM software (Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacture) to produce
precise, color-matched restorations that can be fitted immediately.
"I would like to tell all of the wondrous people and fantastic professionalism of Dr. F.J. DuCoin DMD, M.S. and his staff. On May 24, 2007 I broke a molar and knew it would need a crown. I called my dentist in the Stuart area and he said he could temporarily fix it, but it would not be permanently fixed for about a week. The mold had to be sent out to a lab and they would take a 5-7 days to get it back to my dentist. I explained that it would not do because I was about to leave for the summer in three days, and drive up north. He politely told me that there was nothing else I could do. I could either delay my departure or travel up north with the broken molar and have it tendered to up there. A friend called and I explained my dilemma, she told me that she had a dentist in Stuart that had a new machine that could make the crown in the office, the same day. It was Dr. DuCoin. I called and they made room for me that day and they couldn't have been nicer or more professional. The Dr, examined me and then with a computer wand traced my broken tooth. It created an image on his computer which was then transferred to a machine that carved out my crown from a solid piece of porcelain. The Dr. affixed the crown and I was on my way, all within 1 1/2 hrs. I made my trip north three days later and was pain and problem free. I later learned Dr. DuCoin is the only doctor with this technology in a 40 mile radius of Stuart.. I think the doctor and his able staff are just the most wonderful professionals I have met in many a year. I highly recommend his services to one and all. It is now two years later and the crown is doing fine.
Thank you, Dr. DuCoin."

What about a full or partial crown?
After we prepare your tooth, the computer's infrared camera relays
the exact specifications to the computer. We can do a small restoration the size of the small silver
mercury fillings or we can restore the entire tooth with a full crown. The dental professional then designs -
right before your eyes � a precise restoration to fit your tooth.
Dentists love it. Patients love it. Here's why:
Convenience � No more gooey impressing, no need to wear a temporary for two weeks� which means no need
to come back for a second visit. Using the CEREC, we can have you on your way with your new smile in
just one visit.
Precision � The computer technology is so advanced that it is precisely measured to fit your tooth.
A safe and conservative alternative to grinding down teeth for crowns.
Durability � Because the restorations are so precise, they actually bond to tooth structure,
and make the tooth stronger, as opposed to mercury fillings which are pliable and have a tendency to leak.
Beauty � CEREC smiles are beautiful smiles. Say goodbye to metal mouth. These natural colored
restorations are indistinguishable from real teeth � leaving you with a bright, natural-looking
smile. From now on, your smile doesn't need to advertise your dental history � how many restorations
you have is our little secret.
So if you're interested in getting a restoration that nobody will know you have,
or if you want a mercury-to-ceramic overhaul, come to the Ducoin Center for Advanced Dentistry and
trust your smile to the experts.
