Nashville Restorative Dentistry Introduces New CEREC Technology

Our primary goal is to provide “patient-first care”. We strive to give every single one of our patients the highest quality, personalized care that we can. You may be familiar with the inconvenience and discomfort that comes along with receiving a dental crown, filling, or veneer. But what if we told you that you could receive a brand new, custom-made dental crown of the highest quality, all within a single appointment? Nashville Restorative Dentistry is proud to announce the addition of CEREC Same Day Technology to our variety of services.

What is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This is a cutting-edge, proven technology that has emerged in the field of reconstructive dentistry. As we always strive to provide our patients with high-quality, comfortable, comprehensive care, we also seek to utilize the newest techniques and technologies that are available in the field. CEREC is one technique that will better serve our patients. You are going to love it.

Matching our priority of patient-first care, this reconstructive technology allows us to provide patients with efficient and accurate care, without putting your schedule on hold. The process is completely computer-aided, through both the design and manufacturing of the restoration (CAD/CAM). No longer will you experience the inconvenience and discomfort of the old process of leaving the office with a temporary crown and returning for a second appointment to place the permanent crown.

How does CEREC work?

First, the process is streamlined and made more patient-friendly by eliminating the need for impression mixes and impression trays. Your jaw will no longer wear out while getting an impression of your mouth. Instead, CEREC Technology utilizes a camera to take a comprehensive image of your mouth.

Second, the restoration is designed on the computer to fit the exact specifications needed for your mouth. This design is a digital file that creates an anatomically ideal tooth replacement or crown. This design is then immediately transferred to a milling unit that creates your new crown or restoration out of a solid block of ceramic.

The restoration that was immediately designed and crafted right inside our dental office is now prepared to be placed into your mouth, ready for use. The usual method of struggling through an impression and waiting weeks for your crown to be made is gone.

How We Use It

This technology is beginning to change the field of restorative dentistry. The moment you experience pain, crack, chip, or break a tooth, you can contact Nashville Restorative Dentistry to make an appointment and potentially receive treatment the same day as that appointment. Once an assessment is completed and your needs determined, we can begin the computer-assisted process to repair your damaged tooth. Say goodbye to temporary crowns and hello to an immediate permanent replacement.

We are incredibly excited to provide our patients with this new, comfortable, and high-quality restoration treatment method! It is easier than ever before to schedule the restorative dental care that you need. So don’t wait any longer!
