Dental Restorative Services with CEREC Technology
What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC technology is a unique dental restoration technique that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to fabricate ceramic dental restorations. With this technology, our dentists can design, create, and place dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, and inlays in one appointment.
Problems We Can Address
With CEREC technology, the dentists at the Centre Dentaire Pierrefonds can help their patients regain their dental health quickly while improving their smile. We can fabricate crowns, veneers and inlays on site to treat a variety of oral health problems including:
- A broken tooth or cracked tooth by creating a dental crown that will be placed over the damaged tooth.
- A decayed tooth by using inlays when a simple filling is not possible.
- A worn-out tooth by using a dental crown.
- A discolored or stained tooth by covering it with a dental veneer.
